It's true that by so up traditions they both began following the same god, but then that's a family that has long history of falling away from worship of god in favour of idols.
Yes they both believe they are talking to the same god but see my post above for why it's potentially incompatible.
I would argue that in context Muslims would come under the heading of "Gentiles" (based on the understanding of the time it was written)
