Meh Repost :P

@Scrawland Scribblescratch: Yes, I know that, Christians and Jews believe that Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac but God stopped him, and Muslims believe that it was Ishmael, not Isaac.

@LurkerLordB: Do most historians really not believe in Abraham? *Look up the Mari and Nuzi Tablets*. Ishmael became the "father of the Arabs", while Isaac founded the Israelite race. Also, Muslim do not simply make Ishmael more important. They almost completely switch the positions of Isaac and Ishmael, with Ishmael being the important one.

@Fedelede: I see your point, but remember that to Muslims, Allah is not just a "single god". He is the Almighty, Everlasting, blah blah blah. To Muslims, Islam existed before Muhammed. Muhammed is the last prophet/messenger, with Adam, Noah, Jesus, etc being the other Messengers/Prophets. However, assuming that Islam is false, even though a large chunk of Islam is based off of Christianity, another big chunk is also from Judaism, and there are many beliefs that contradict both.
