I agree totally, besides JESUS is coming back and I distinctly remember God saying in his WORD that Israel belonged to the Jews and that "those that bless you will I bless and those that curse you will I curse"...
He never said that to Ishmael, only to his mother that he would be great nation! Well Islam is huge alright, but not holy as we know holy! They do not inherit the blessings of the child of promise, Isaac, ancestor of Jesus.

This Ishmael? :>)

In Hebrew, one always places the noun - the essence we are speaking of - before the adjective it comes to describe. We say "yeled tov" - a boy who is good (rather than "a good boy"). The "boy" is the essence; he comes first. The description "good" follows. . . But in the Torah, the description of Ishmael is out of order, backwards, just the opposite of normative Hebrew. He is not called an "adam pra'I" - a man who is wild. He is called a pereh adam. He is first and foremost a pereh - a wild creature - who is described as appearing in the form of adam - a man."

Read what G-D said about Ismael's National Character, also in Genesis...

You, know, that he would raise his fist at everyone!
