11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her: "Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man's hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
There's really nothing in that passage or anywhere else in the Bible to support the notion that ancient Ishmael has any bearing on things today, is there? The fact is that by any plain reading of the text we can see that it is confined to one man, Ishmael.

Didn't you just pick a text and allegorize it to fit our modern situation?
