Because Ishmael was the first son of Abraham and the Arabs share a lot of history with the Jews, they are Abrahamic traditions. In the apocryphal Book of Adam and Eve, Ishmael and Isaac seem to be a little friendlier than in the Bible where Arabia or parts of it are mentioned many times. Islam borrows from Judaism in many practices and acknowledges the same God while managing to be heretical to both Judaism and Christianity. People forget, or never noticed, that there was ancient traffic between the Hebrews and the Arabs. There was even a dynasty of Jewish kings in Arabia. It ended shortly before Mohammed and lasting bitterness may have had something to do with his opinions about Jews. Fun history: when the Khazars were asked (i.e. pressured by the world superpowers of the time) to choose either Christianity or Islam, supposedly they asked the Muslim envoy which religion was the more original and close to the truth, Judaism or Christianity. He said it was Judaism. When the Christian envoy was also asked which was more basic, Judaism or Islam, he had to make the same answer. So the Khazars became Jews.
A.D., with all due respect: you should know better than this. Islam has NO CONNECTION to Father Abraham; nor is there any connection between Arabic people and Ishmael. NONE. Islamic apologists invented the 'Abrahamic' connection, generations ago.
most importantly the "god" of Islam is a counterfeit of the only Living God and Father of our Lord, Christ Jesus. There is NO connection whatever between Islam and faith in the Lord God. Islam is a pitiful counterfeit of faith and - as a matter of fact - Islam is actually a military/political ideology of conquest, oppression and slave-making/slave-trading.
the precious Muslim people are no more innately evil than you and I but they are SLAVES, required to recruit other slaves into their counterfeit faith/slavery. Islam is closer to being a CULT than it is a "faith" in any god or idol. Knowledgeable, insightful people do not convert to Islam except because of coercion or intimidation. The current majority of Muslim people were born into the nightmare of Islam and their whole LIVES are caught up in the manipulations of the Imams and Mullahs.
By God's precious Grace, Muslims are leaving Islam by the hundreds, EVERY DAY, all over the world. Muslims who get a taste of the ASTONISHING Holy Spirit of God quickly become 'ex-Muslims' and often they must hide their transformation or face the Islamic death penalty imposed upon those who leave Islam.
PRAY for ALL the victims of the satanic evils of Islam. Muslims are the FIRST victims of Islam! Islam is BLASPHEMY against the Only Living God in Christ.
Please forgive me. I MUST prepare for work that I'm doing but I will check back later today to further this discussion if needed.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND GOD AND THERE IS NO OTHER NAME GIVEN AMONG MEN WHEREBY WE CAN HAVE RECONCILIATION WITH GOD OUR FATHER or have RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER! JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED! JESUS CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE!! AMEN!
Now, Muhammad never met Jesus in the flesh but if you believe in the unity of the holy spirit, then isnt' it possible for Muhammad to connect to Jesus thru the holy spirit? Mohammad acknowledged Jesus brought mercy and compassion to his followers and that Jesus was seated at the right hand of God, the messiah, a prophet. That is the window/door for peaceful, God-loving people to embrace Jesus Christ and God. And he praises Jesus for his absolute faith in God and that we should do the same. Now the Koran has many abrogations, made later, that conflict with early teachings from Muhammad and the koran. So you can easily argue your case against Islam and the history of violent attacks on innocents. I get it. I was there with you years ago. But when I found Jesus, i had to let go of judgements that divided me from others. And recognized that we are all on our own path on this spiritual awakening. Believe and value the unseen which is God and his plans. And his plan is for us to ascend into heaven and to be one with him because in reality, he is and was always with us. When we're asleep we didn't know. But he's there for all of us, asleep and awake. Forget all the news that fills you with hate and divisive emotions. I feel your faith in Jesus, embrace it wholeheartedly and walk with him with love and forgiveness in your heart. Peace be with you!

...compelling observations....
So in summary Jews are the criminal mastermind, Muslims the henchmen and then Christians are the gullible sheep ?
...apparently so....
