Clarification Please:
I thought the Israel/Muslim divergence originated between Abraham’s sons, Isac and Ishmael?
Here we have it occuring between Isac’s sons, Esau and Jacob.
Where is it that Esau was Islamic?

Where is it that Esau was Islamic?The Arabs are descended from Yishma`'el, the rival of Isaac. But the Romans (and the western, chrstian world) are descended from Esau, the rival of Jacob. The Roman Exile is called Galut 'Edom, the exile of Edom.
You need to read your Bible a little more closely.

The God of the Bible is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So that excludes Ishmael and Esau.
When Esau saw that his marriage to the two Hittite women did not please his parents, he went a step further in his rebellion and married the daughter of Ishmael.
It was at this point that the lines of Ishmael and Edom came together (a wild ass of a man, with a man who would live by the sword).
Additionally, the geographic location of Edom covers virtually the entire Arabian Penninsula (see Ezekiel 25&35). And all other references to Edom in the prophets describes them almost exactly as they are today; treacherous, bloodthirsty, and bent on taking Jacob's inheritance.
