[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't Muslims make more of the fact that their religion comes from Judaism? Christians often say that Jesus was Jewish.[/quote]
Because their religion doesn't come from Judaism. [/quote]

Abraham was not Jewish. More like pre-Jewish. [/quote]

Interesting. I always thought Abraham was Jewish. I know that Jews did not convert to being Muslims (the way Jews converted to Christianity), so what were the Muslims from Abraham to the 7th century? [/quote]

Abraham was the first Jew -- the founder of Judaism, as Mohammed was the found of Islam. Abraham was born a pagan (or polytheist or whatever) but as an adult was contacted by G-d, who told him to stop worshiping false gods and follow him only. Which he did, and his family. That's why people refer to the Jewish G-d as the G-d of Abraham.[/quote]

And his son Ishmael didn't become Jewish?[/quote]

No. His son Isaac did, but Ishmael was the son of Abraham and his concubine, Hagar, and nowhere in the Torah does it say Hagar was Jewish. In fact it implies she lived differently and brought Ishmael up differently, and Abraham sent them both away when Isaac was a child.[/quote]

And Muslims believe that Ishmael was a legitimate son and draw their lineage from him. We also believe he was the one Abraham was asked to sacrifice.[/quote]
