>>Biblically, they all come from the same father.<<

All from the same father? Are you not familiar with the split between Esau and Jacob?

Perhaps this from the Bible will help you get started.

“Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”—Romans 9:13

The Arabs are generally believed to be decedents of Ishmael the son of Hagar who was the handmaiden of Abraham the father. The was before Sarah could conceive.

“Islamic traditions consider Ishmael as the ancestor of Arab people,”

When Sarah conceived Yisack(Issac) then he became the father of the Jewish people.

As far as Jacov and Esau, Esau(the red) split from the Jewish people and became the father of the northern people. That is, northern Europe.

But this, of course, is all just theological conjecture and can be interpreted multiple ways. But, both in Islam and in Judaism is is accepted that both Jews and Arabs came from Abraham but originated by different mothers.

It is funny that even the ‘Satan’ woman came from the same father according to traditional religious theology. So, I guess her father is ‘Satan’ too. LoL
