What is Islam?
by Alvin Gladstone on May 16, 2008 11:09 AM

Based on history and bible - Ishmael was the origin of Islam. He was an ilegitimate child of Abraham and Hagar. And this is what was prophecised about Ishmael 4000 years ago, which is true even today

Genesis 16:11-12
11 The angel of the LORD also said to her:
"You are now with child
and you will have a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,
for the LORD has heard of your misery.

12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers."

Doesn't this charactierize Islam even to this day????
