Please dont tell me that Islam & Allah connection to Abraham is based on just:-
1. That the name Allah also means God. - i can give you a list of names that similarly mean God. BTW, as far as I know Allah is the personal name of the muslim deity while Yahweh si the personal name of God in the Bible.
2. That Ishmael's descendants lived in the valley of Kedar according to the bible. - still this doesn't prove that Ishmael is connected to muslims. Remember many other tribes existed in Egypt and surrounding areas.
BTW, ...... Altogether, Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people. His descendants settled in the area from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt, as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
Just wondering aloud why the 'near the border of Egypy' ....... between the promised land and Egypt which land exisits there? ????
Hopefully the whole faith-connection is based on more.
