ABC is behind the curve on this. The story is n the blogosphere. It related to Abraham's first son, Ishmeal, or in Arabic, Ismail, and his father's use of an ax to destroy idols. But, no one at ABC is familiar with the Old Testament, or the New one either.

The story of Abraham destroying the idols in his father’s shop does not appear anywhere in the Old Testament. It is part of the Midrash (Jewish traditional lore). The version that I am familiar with, Abraham used a club, not an axe.
