What is the Biblical Cause of the Arab-Israeli Conflict?

Arabs and Jews consider themselves descended from Abraham's sons Ishmael and Isaac respectively. Abraham aggressively kicked his maidservant Hagar and her son Ishmael out of the house in order for his son Isaac (born of his wife Sarah) to have primary attention. Jews and Christians assert that Abraham had a more special relationship with Isaac, taking him up a mountain in an attempt to sacrifice him. Muslims allege the same story, but with Ishmael. So, many claim that Jews and Arabs have a sibling rivalry of sorts coming from this moment. However, both the Bible and Qur'an make it very clear that after the halted sacrifice, Ishmael and Isaac actually spent a good deal of time together and remained on good terms. In fact, Isaac's son Esau married one of Ishmael's daughters.

What is the difference between US and middle east religions?

in a nutshell. Abraham had two sons, Isaac and ishmael. ishmael was the older of the two whom Abraham had with his bondservent, this is not what God intended. thus Abraham had another son with his wife fufilling Gods promise. as they became older ishmael and his mother left abrahams camp and pursued there own way of doing things. Muslims followed the ways of ishmael and christians followed the wats of isaac. this is why there are so many things that appear to be the same between Muslims and christians, but believe me there are many similarities the few differences are drastic.
