Judaism was also an obvious inspiration for Islam (as well as Christianity) and the two faiths share many common traits such as dietary restrictions forbidding the consumption of pork and common prophets who are revered in both faiths such as Moses and Abraham. Muslims commonly refer to Jews as fellow 'People of the Book' as in people who follow the same general teachings in relation to the worship of the one God worshipped by Abraham. In addition, due to the similarities between Hebrew and Arabic (the language used by Muslims for religious purposes) as Semitic languages, many Muslim and Jewish terms are similar including the words for greetings, 'salam' and 'shalom'.
In general, Judeo-Islamic refers to the historical and cultural relationship between the two communities, and has diminished value for some since most Jews living in Islamic countries emigrated en masse to Israel and the West. This correlates with the increased usage of the term 'Judeo-Christianity' which seeks to emphasize the similarities between the monotheistic religions who basically worship the same deity as is also the case with Islam.
