"Mein Quran is the Bizarro version of stories taken from the Old and New Testament. Muslims look to Ishmael as their. I suppose, founder, but I even think they purloined that story."

Even Christians and Jews believe this, if they believe the depiction of Ishmael from Genesis 16:12:

He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers." [NIV]

Rather hits the spot, don't you think?

[FreeKeys]

a wild donkey of a man
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers."

The first DemocRAT maybe?

I suspect that the palesimians' antecedents from Arabia made ishmael look good.

It does hit the spot. They live for this enmity toward their brothers. But we aren't teaching old enmities as mainstream, this hatred of others. And those few who occasionally do teach hatred or morph verses to fit their unusual idealogies, like David Koresh at Waco, the numbers are smaller and they are regarded as cults and dangerous and then dealt with. But for this group, it's mainstream and accepted teaching for much larger groups - and the rest of us, the objects of this enmity, we are coddling them and expecting ourselves and others to be tolerant of their beliefs, which still apparently include the need to nurture this enmity, this hostility between us.
