Thus, every year the Muslims remind themselves how Sarah, the mother of the Jews, mistreated the mother of the Arabs.
While conveniently forgetting that she brought it upon herself, with her "despising" of Serai.
Also, as the eldest son, Ishmael would have had the birthright. But the birthright went to Isaac, the favored son of Abraham's beloved wife. Thus, the Muslims still occasionally refer to the Jews as "birthright stealers."
Again, conveniently "forgetting" that Haggar & Ishmael were acting in such a way as to severely alarm Serai concerning the safety of the 'child of the promise,' young Isaac.
Then again, the Locust Army has to come from somewhere; and has to have what it sees as adequate justification to function as such.

No - not exactly. Ishmael was illegitimate, because Abraham was not married to Hagar, but the Jews began with Jacob, not Abraham. Jacob’s 12 sons are the 12 tribes of Israel.

Abram was MARRIED to Hagar in Genesis chapter 16 verse 3 “Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in Canaan, an gave her to her husband Abram to be his WIFE.
You should study the translation language of the old and ancient right history. And then find out who and why the authors you study under translated the way they did.
Let's Get rid of prejudice's and when you do then you will get to know the true Creator of All Universes and All known and Unknown Creation's. The One who breathes its breath through you so you my live to enjoy its creations. So continue in JOY...(that is another creation that was given to us...).

The Muslims, more accurately the Arabian Bedouin tribes from which Islam sprang, may call themselves the Children of Ishmael all they want, but they have no genetic relationship at all except through Jews they may have impregnated during their centuries-long rape of the Middle East.
