its because of the claim as the legal hier of Abraham. Abraham had 2 sons: Ismail and Isaac. Ismail was elder one from Abraham's maid servant and Isaac was from Sara, Abraham's wife Now, Arabs (Muslims) are descendants of Ismail whereas Jews and Christians are descendants of Isaac. And this simple thing causes all the brothers to fight against each other.
Yes.
No, he is not. Mr. Rouhani is an Iranian Muslim. President Obama's relatives are not from Iran, and they are not Muslims. His mother's side are Protestant Christians from the midwest, and their ancestry is English and Irish. His father's side is from Africa (Kenya), with family members of various religions including Muslims, Christians, and atheists.
No they are not. There are many religions, so you can certainly assume that a baby is, or will be, the religion that their family practices.
I would think Christianity. I live with a family from Africa and they are all Christians.
Abraham founded Judaism. Christianity and Islam are daughter-religions of Judaism.See also the Related Links.Link: How Abraham founded JudaismLink: Was Islam's inception influenced by Judaism
If "God's family" is all of us, then Adam; if only those who follow religions that revere him, Abraham ("Father of a multitude"); if only Jews, perhaps Moses.
There is no specific nationality of the Ghattas family, since it is scattered across the middle east (Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, etc.) and North Africa (Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Morocco.) The Ghattas family religion differs depending on their location, but they are mostly Christians and Muslims. In the middle east, they are mostly Christians, whereas in North Africa they are mostly Muslims.
Absolutely. Jews and Muslims are both strictly monotheistic-- they both believe in one God only (Muslims call God "Allah" but that is simply the Arabic word for God). Both religions do not make pictures or statues of the deity, nor do they believe God ever took a human body. Both religions believe in dietary laws-- Jews call theirs Kashruth (Kosher laws) while Muslims call theirs Hallal, but in both cases, observant members do not eat bacon, ham or pork. Both religions have fast days, and both religions believe in prayer, as well as giving charity. Both religions also show great respect for their prophets (although Muhammad holds a more central role in Islam and Muslims believe he is the last and greates prophet, Muslims also respect some figures from the Hebrew Bible, notably Moses and Abraham.) And neither Jews nor Muslims believe the prophets were the same as God-- contrary to myth, Muslims do not pray to Muhammad, and although Jews hold Moses in especially high regard, they do not direct their worship to him in any way.

Since there are more than 1.6 Billion Muslims in every country on this planet, the proper answer is from "humans." But I think you mean to ask who are the Arab Muslims descended from? Arabs are descended from Abraham's first son, Ishmaeel (through wife Hagar). Thus the Arabs and Jews are cousins as the Jews are descened from Abraham's second son, Isacc (through Sarah). Abraham did have several other sons besides these two!
