Bingo. They are not blessed - nor are they a blessing (Gen 12:2-3). While they may profess to be of a particular religion or ethnicity, they have no spiritual kinship with Father Abraham (Matt 3:9). Nor do they know the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Rev 3:9). And of course, they DENY Jesus, THE SON OF GOD, who was/is the ULTIMATE spiritual descendant of Father Abraham. They are nothing like either of them. If they were honest, they would confess only to being a little 'Semitic'.
Concurrently, if I want to be a Christian, The Kingdom of Heaven must be uppermost in my mind and heart. But when you know The Father, where else - other than His Kingdom - could one want to be? SHAME ON ME, when I become distracted with concern for what 'others' are doing while I neglect the Household of God!
