First welcome home. I hope that you find this an interesting and challenging place.
You ask
quote:
How come he doesn't do any of the miricles anymore like in the Old Testament, why did he just decide to stop on day...
Many of us would say that he has not stopped, that GOD still performs miricles.
You also asked
quote:
Why did God only talk to people in Jerusalem?
Again, many of us would say that he did not just speak to the few in Judea.
To me, as a Christian, it is hard to so limit GOD by saying that he could not talk to and reach others. For example, he reached out to Mohammud which led to the creation of ISLAM. He certainly spoke to the Jews.
GOD is quite capable of reaching out to and speaking to any who are open to listen, and in a format that they can accept.

Re: so why not?
If you believe that MOHAMMUD issent by God . why did not you follow the relegion he bring??
I do. It's called Christianity. IMHO, the God of Islam, the Jew and the Christian is the very same God.
If all the Judaic faiths would slow down and admit that, wouold it make life in Amman a little better?
To elaborate, IMHO God did reach out to all people. That is the basic purpose shown in the Old Testament. Somewhat later, in an attempt to reach even more people, he reached out through Jesus. Still later, he reached out through Mohammud.
But it is the same God and the same message. All are children of the book. Afterall, had it not been for the support Mohammud recieved from his Jewish allies, would he have reached Medina and Mecca? Would Islam even exist were it not for the support of the other children of the book?

What are the two Great Commandments?
I believe, and I know this will offend, that Islam is a satanically controlled religion.
But you are also totally wrong there. Islam is a religion based on the God of Abraham and Isaac. Unless Satan is the God of Abraham and Isaac, you have somewhat of a problem there.
