Answer AMuslims view Jews and Christians as the 'people of the book' that means holders of God holy books; the Torah and The Bible respectively. Prophet called Jews and Christians to agree with Muslims that not to worship except the one and only one god with no partner, no companion, no son, and no associate. Quran called Muslims to be kind, peaceful, and cooperative with Jews and Christians who don't attack them or expel Muslims from homes and/or religion. In Islamic countries, Jews and Christians have rights and commitments as Muslims and are not required to convert to Islam as some other non Muslim countries were doing in some centuries ago.

Refer to related question below.

God says in the Quran about the People of the Book (meaning English translations):

Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of Allah all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. Of the good that they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah knoweth well those that do right. [Qur'an 03:113]

And there are, certainly, among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), those who believe in God and in that which has been revealed to you, and in that which has been revealed to them, humbling themselves before God. They do not sell the Verses of God for a little price, for them is a reward with their Lord. Surely, God is Swift in account. [Qur'an 03:199]

Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve . [Qur'an 2:62]

And do not dispute with the followers of the Book except by what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, and say: We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and to Him do we submit.[Qur'an 29:46]

Jews hold many different views about other religions, but Jewish teaching only has one thing to say on this topic: the righteous people of all nations will have a share in the world to come. This means that no non-jew has any obligation to become Jewish.

As for individual beliefs, although they vary, most Jews get along well with Christians and Muslims. Jews are very put off by proselytizing though, and find this behavior insulting and irritating. In fact, Jews actively defend themselves against proselytizing, through organizations such as Jews for Judaism.
