Someone else brought up the Divine Council theory which explains this.

Christianity began about AD 30, though that name came later. Whatever you want
to call them Nero blamed them for burning of Rome in AD 64.

Allah means 'the lah'. 'lah' and 'el' are hamito-semitic cognates.
Mohammed was trying to invent christianity 2.0 but didn't bother to properly
learn judaism (christianity 0.0?) or christianity 1.0. When jews and christians
continued to reject his shiny new religion, he had revelations that was okay to
kill jews and christians. Christianity 2.0 was rebranded as islam.

You might want to check with scholars. I can't verify myself, but some scholars
say jews had the single god multiple god manifestations up to about AD 100. They
dropped the multiple manifestation when christians pointed they now had a name
for one of the manifestations. If this view is correct, judaism and christianity
only disagreed on the multiple manifestations after this time.
Up till then congregations routinely considerred themselves jewish and christian
depending on who had the better festivals. Jewish and christian leaders agreed
to disagree to force their congregations to be loyal to one or the other. It's
hard work to keep convincing people to follow you. It's easier to lock the doors
with them inside.

Samaritans are descendants of the northern kingdom, the Kingdom of Israel. Jews
are descendants of the southern kingdom, the Kingdom of Judah. Samaritans
becames palestinians, so the West Bank, also known as Samaria, is about jews
stealing land from their cousins.

I'm pretty sure I read in Spider-Man that the Hulk was strongest (it was
comparing them to Spider-man's web). Superman could beat them all, but Superman
is a myth only found in the kind of comic books Flash Thompson reads.
