One could make a case that not even all Christians worship the same God. God as understood by Calvinists is quite different from the God of Arminians.

Muslims do not worship the same god as the Christians

So which one is worshipping the right God and who is answering the prayers of those who are praying to the wrong God?

The basic premise isn't being ignored, just being debated.
Islam and Christianity worship the same god. All you have to do is go ask a Muslim. It really isn't that hard.
And they aren't even worshipping different natures. They both believe in the same god. The difference you are showing is just that one believes that God sent Jesus as his only son, as an incarnation of himself, and the other believes that God sent Jesus as a prophet. Just a difference of opinion.

The Christian god did not require intercession either.
The Christian god can change the rules at any time.
Yes he can. Just look at the Bible.
No, the differences only show ignorance on the subject.

Oh wow.
Dude, you are all over the place. How many threads do you got going on different subjects in different sections? Just slow down and pay attention to what you're saying and what everyone else is saying. You are being too uptight about your beliefs, and not actually listening to any opposing points of view. Now your dragging this negative energy into the comparative religion forums. People come here to peacefully discuss their differences and similarities, not to debate and deconstruct everyone else. Because, at the end of the day, it's just your opinion, man.

The god itself isn't different, the people's interpretations of the same god are what's different.

So like Tumbleweed said, do you think Jews worship a different god than Christians?

...or, to be more precise, no one worships the same god as each other. We all add our own flavors into the mix.
Simple test of this: ask two different Christians/Muslims/Jews/theists in general to describe in detail the god they worship.

Unfortunately, it seems that some who believe they worship and understand the one true God, believe that the one true God does not acknowledge the worship of those who see God different than he is. Does it give comfort to the believer to believe that God only recognizes him and his group of believers as worshipers of the true God?
I believe that my church and my scriptures teach the true nature of the one true God, but it's a sad day if I'm led to believe that I'm in a special class of people whom God recognizes and that God rejects all others for worshiping a false god.

I think they do...the evidence is there, they worship a God requiring a sacrifice that is infallible and requires an intercessor.
The Bible specifically mentions their condition, that their eyes are shut to the Messiah until the end times.

Because I disagree with you, I know nothing about Christian theology? Not really logical there.

Please define what this intercessor is for Judaism, it sounds like you don't quite understand how the Sacrifice System works. Even the idea that Isaiah 53:10 stating that the Moshiach will be a Guilt Offering in itself is not quite the same as an "intercessor".
And please provide scripture for your claim in the red here. The entire Christian community until Cornelius was entirely a Jewish sect who paid the Temple tax.

I haven't lied about anything. I just don't agree with what you are saying. Simply, I think you are wrong.
If you read the OT, you will see that a number of individuals spoke directly with God, that no intercession was needed. God does send prophets from time to time, but he also speaks directly to various humans. Again, no need for an intercessor.
I also think you misunderstood what is meant by the messiah. It is a figure who will free the Jewish people. Not really an intercessor.
Even Islam though recognizes prophets, which could be deemed intercessors. So really, I don't think you have a case.

Ask three different people to describe in detail a common friend and you are going to get three different descriptions. They may be similar but there will be differences. Does that mean that common friend is actually three different people?
