I think it had to do with one of Abrahams sons... He sinned so his seed would create a nation that would go against God... THus the Muslims are here..

Answer:

"Muslim" [or "Moslem"] isn't in The Bible. A Muslim is merely an adherent of the relatively recent [5th century] religion of "Islam."

The religion of Islam, however [also not in the Bible], was the result of the literary workings of a descendant of the firstborn son of Abraham, "Ishmael"... who was born to Abraham through his wife, [Sarai] Sarah's, Egyptian handmaid, Hagar [Gen.16:1].

Ishmael became the father of the Arab people.

"...he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." (Gen.16;12)

Many people besides Arabs have willingly adopted the religion of Islam over the succeeding centuries or had it forced upon them... but all who adhere to the religion are called "Muslims" or "Moslems."

So, although, Muslim isn't in the Bible... the original people to profess and promote the religion of Islam... the original "Muslims"... were Ishmael's children -- children of Abraham [who is in the Bible].
