Islam has both Jewish and Christian influences and reveres both Moses and Christ as prophets of Allah.
Wouldn't that make it "Judeo-Christian"?

Adding to this, while the term "Judeo-Christian" is commonly used in American politics to unify the Christian and Jewish conservative groups, Christianity is viewed as a descendant religion of Judaism - where Islam is viewed as a separate religion with similar foundations.
For example: Jesus came to "fulfill the law" of the Old Testament. Jesus was Jewish and the earliest Christians were, themselves, Jewish. It took a significant amount of time for it to adapt to what it is today. Even then, Christians frequently appeal to the Old Testament as a foundational and equally divine holy book. A Christian would not contradict the Old Testament unless it was something "fulfilled" by Jesus.
Islam, on the other hand, was founded by Muhammad who founded a noticeably different system. Their holy texts are seperate from Judaism and Christianity. While he took influence from Judaism and Christianity, the theology is more similar to Judaism in the sense there's a Sharia legal code and Hadiths (similar to the Jewish Talmud). Christianity simply doesn't have a lot of those religious legalist foundations. And they're not as overt in Judaism either.
In Islam there is a term roughly translated to, "People of the book." That usually refers to Christians and Jews living inside Muslim nations. They have the status of "Jizya" which obligates them to pay a higher tax rate among other things. Pagans would just be outright killed, converted, or exiled. They're not classified as pagans (unless you start talking about Sayyid Qutb but those are more outliers) because of a similar monotheistic background. Wheras Jews and Christians might view eachother as worshiping the same God through incorrect means. Obviously each group might have a slightly different view and I'm oversimplifying everything but that's my 2 cents

Adding to this the term "Christian" is commonly used in global politics to unify the various groups that believe in Christ but would happily kill each other over disagreements on the proper way to exercise that belief.
It's basically a fanfic based on another fanfic written by the associates of a paranoid schizophrenic, pedophile from Saudia Arabia.
But do you believe in that other fanfic inspired by a mentally ill, zombie, hobo, Jewish carpenter?
Or what about that other fanfic authored by another schizophrenic totally ignorant about history, anthropology, and archeology?
Or what about the other religion inspired by a prince who gave everything up to be a lazy hobo, deadbeat dad. and pro-ana advocate?

Those three religions all stem from Abram of Ur. Sometimes, you're the bastard son, and bear Islam. Sometimes you're the son of ninety year-old Sarai, and bear Judaism. G-d designed both births, and later sent his Son to unite us. That went really well. Yup.
Bruh, outside of Ireland shit hasn't been like that for over 100 years, at least it hasn't in Europe/Americas.
That's because Europe isn't Christian anymore, and hasn't been for over 100 years. Nowadays, Europeans fight each over disagreements on the proper way to be a Socialist.

"Judeo-Christian" is an oxymoron invented by Neocons to drum up support for Israel. Old Testament religion wasn't judaism. Most OT Israelites weren't even jews. Modern Talmudist-Kabbalist judaism is a master race religion about worshipping jewishness and their version God is basically a genie. "Abrahamic religion" is misleading as the three religions are fundamentally different and superficially similar.

The term “Judeo-Christian” was coined in reference to the few elements (parts of the Bible, a common foundation at first, etc.) in both heritage and history shared by Judaism and Christianity, as well as Christianity’s derivation from the former.
Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are sometimes grouped together as the “Abrahamic religions” as all three acknowledge Abraham as the figure God revealed himself to. Judaism and Christianity link themselves to Abraham via his son, Isaac, borne of Sarah, while Islam claims its tie via his first son, Ishmael, whom he had sent away with his mother, Hagar, after observing him to be inclined towards “wicked” practices, such as idolatry.
