@Anwaar Qureshi

Code Red: whoever denies the prophethood of Muhammad:saw: and whoever denies him being the last of Allah’s Messengers plus denying of previous messengers is NEVER a muslim.

It is fine. Also muslim scholar many of them say that all prophet preached same fundamental beliefs so according to them all the followers (who did not change the teaching of prophet of their time ) were muslim. It is again fine for me.

But

But those Jews and Christians who say shahada are not Jews and Christians anymore ..

Why can’t the jew remain a jew after that ?

Is there something wrong in jewish teachings ?

They worship One God already.

Also these righteous jews are praised in Quran, and they are granted the right to remain jew

(2:62) Those who believe (in the Qur’an) and those who follow the Jewish (Scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians and who believe in Allah and the last day and work righteousness shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve

Also according to strict jewish law, any person who converts, still remains jew !

Within the Jewish community, the question of conversion sparks differing religious and societal responses. Rabbi Yosef Levertov of Chabad House-Lubavich, an orthodox congregation at the University of Texas at Austin, states that strict Jewish law regards converts as remaining Jewish in the eyes of God. "It doesn’t revoke their obligations as a Jew. You still have to answer to God." Rabbi Samual Barth, who heads the conservative congregation Agudas Achim of Austin, says that that converts are seen as “living in error,” but that they can still be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Levertov disagrees again citing strict Jewish law, but says it may be considered on a case-by-case basis. “In the olden days people used to sit shiva [mourn for the dead] for a convert but not so much today.”

Religiously speaking, converting to Islam may be viewed by Jewish leaders as slightly less of an infraction because of the monotheistic nature of Islam. Had the individual converted to a polytheistic religion, for example, reactions could potentially be much harsher. Socially, however, the opposite seems to be true. “There is a suspicion toward Islam. It is seen as anti-Semitic, as being at war with Israel,” Barth says. Levertov agrees, adding that he believes with today’s political climate reactions toward conversion to Islam might be more punitive.

I see no problem in that.
