Islam & the Muslim faith- banishing myths

Where should I start ?
Islam, is, like Judaism and Christianity, based on the patriarchy of Abraham, accepts the Old Testament, and the New with the exception that Islam doesn't believe Jesus ( or anyone) is other than human. They accept Jesus as a prophet , and consider the word of God further explained by Muhammad, the next Prophet.
I know a lot more but perhaps that's the simplest part , that so many people don't seem to understand. Islam is as much a Monotheistic Faith, part of the same heritage as Judaism and Christianity.
Its a lineage, with in the same way that Christianity parts with Judaism, Islam parts with Christianity, and so it goes.
I know a lot more so ask a question

Having been brought up an Atheist, my interest in Religion, has been the same across the board.
So, perhaps I have spoken to a myth ? That Islam is some "wierd" Mystic thing, very different from Judaic-Christianity. It is not. It is part of teh same Mono Theistic lineage
