the word "Islam" means "submission" to God

Irrelevant as we are talking about the religion not the definition of a word. You are using Islam as an umbrella term divorced from Islam the religion.
Islam is name of religion, that name had meaning.

@Godobeyer do you recognise the distinction between Islam as a general term meaning submission to God and Islam as a term referring to the tradition founded 1400 years ago by Muhammad which is centred on the Qur'an? Shad is trying to talk to you about the second one, not the first.

You are taking Islam as a simplified definition the applying it to other religions in order to create an idea that those people are similar to Muslims. This is simply parallelism of the worst kind.

For exemple: Jews and Muslims are share almost the same view about God. where is the problem on that ?

All monotheism religions may share the same beliefs.

Yeah, but they are submission by through their belief,
That my point.

Right, we get that in Islam you refer to all these traditions as being Islam in that they were about submission. But you also understand that there is a tradition which we call Islam that started 1400 years centred on the Qur'an.

Can we say like Islam (submission) and Islam (religion) to separate them?

Yeah, totally. That was the point I was making too. Everyone knows that. So we need to know when we're talking about it as the word or the religion.

The differences matter.

Irrelevant when the differences show this is not the case. This is parallelism and oversimplification, nothing more
