Long Answer: Although the Arabs consider themselves the descendants of Ishmael, it is entirely possible that some of the sons of Ishmael never became Arabs. (I.e. All tigers are cats, but not all cats are tigers.) The ones who became the Arab tribes are typically seen as being Muslim, but there were some Arabian Jews and Christians as well that the Caliph 'Omar let live, provided they fled Arabia. (This was to fulfill Mohammed's wish that all of Arabia would be Muslim.)

Short Answer: Muslim.
