Its strange, thats the second time recently I've come across the concept of judeo-christian being somehow insulting to those of the Jewisih faith (and I don't *think* the previous occurence was in your lj), but I have always taken it to be "stemming from old testament/historical tradition common to both", at best putting Christianity as a subset of Judaeism... I think its the knowledge and attitudes of those reacting badly to your correct usage of the word that's at fault on the whole, for yes, it would probably be most accurate to include islam in the equation, oh and lets add various elements of mithraism, zoroastrianism and where else did things get borrowed from? lol I'm not sure there is another academic word that covers the same thing.
