If Islam believes in the same God as the Jews and the Christians, why are Jews and Christians persecuted in Arab/Muslim countries as unbelievers? If Muslims argue that they are worshipping the true God of the universe, then why don't they believe what He says about Jesus as being His Son? Why would they call Him by another Name that what He has proclaimed for Himself? The Islamic, Jewish, and Christian God do all come from Abraham. They all are based on his story. Islam just takes a different turn...turning them onto the path of a god no where near the God that we know. It doesn't mean they follow the same God, just that they are rooted in the same story of Abraham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can find the ethnic ancestors of the the Arabs mentioned in Genesis 10, and they predate the birth of Ishmael. The descendents of Ishmael were the Midianites, and they are extinct as a people having assimilated into other people groups. The Seven Cushite nations mentoined in Gen 10:7 were all in Arabia: "Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan." These peoples/nations are where the Arabs came from. They did not come from Ishmael. Islam does not go back to Abraham. Islam goes back to centuries after Christ. It has nothing to do with Abraham, and has no ties to the Bible whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with Abraham, and has no ties to the Bible whatsoever. I don't mean they're a descendant of him just that their religion came from the story. I'm good friends with an Islamic woman and she's told me all about her faith. They do believe, weather or not they are right, in the Abraham story with a twist. They say a differnt son was the one planned to be sacrificed. Islam isn't much at all like Christianity but it does come from that story of Abraham... Hence Abraham is called the father of three nations, as we learned in school not too long ago. (Jews, Christians, Muslims) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
