I would be happy to admit my ignorance of this.
Muslims believe in the same prophets as the jews and christians, including Jesus. So you're attempt at sarcasm is really just showing your ignorance.
There are plenty of jew muslims too, believe it or not.

Do you think you could be thinking of Arab Jews? Those are Jews who are Arabic speakers living in Arab countries. Why don't you fill us in a bit on Muslim Jews, it sounds very intriguing.

I solemny promise not to be sarcastic, but approach your statement from a serious direction (though I must admit to some uncertainty about your basic position, so it's difficult to meet you wherever you are).
I'm all for syncretism, i.e. putting things together in greater meaningful patterns, but syncretism is a 'tool' to be used with the outmost care. And in theism it's unfortunately often used in irrational versions.
Either 'cutting a heel and cutting a toe' where the various components of a syncretistic totality have to be 'adapted' first to arrive at the predetermined answer.
Alternatively by creating socalled inductive categories, where things are similar to some extent, and this is mistakenly believed to be the same as 'identical'. So A looks like B, and from there an artificial equation A = B is fabricated.
And first of all I doubt, that this quote from you has anything to do with end-of-days prophecies (but digressions happen), and secondly I fail to see your conclusion as valid, and even if it is, what it leads to. You may enlighten me on the details.

I can discern YOUR position now. Thank you.
However you are still not clear in your (what I take to be) syncretistic approach. You have brought up similarities, but abstained from the differences.
This is in logic called creating a false category (inductive category), and while you may have more sound reasons from elsewhere for your opinions, this is not one. At least not for anyone using standard logic.
Anything I've said can be found from multiple sources.
Muslims believe(and love) the same prophets that christians and jews do, the main difference being that Muslims believe that Mohommed was the last prophet, but that Jesus(Isa in arabic) will return in the last days and that all the muslims will follow him.
Bottom line is that Muslims will follow Jesus when he returns and destroys the antichrist
A djin is a supernatural creature in Islamic teachings which (according to both mythology) occupies a parallel world to that of mankind, and together with humans and angels makes up the three sentient creations of Allah
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [21:5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
