You said — “Both Jewish and Islamic traditions consider Ishmael as the ancestor of Arab people”
The whole Ishmael and Isaac thing is very interesting and fundamental as far as the Bible versus the Koran is concerned.
BUT, in having to do with yesterday’s shooting — it’s entirely speculative and actually doesn’t even represent the *right spelling* as far as the article has given it to us.
I think people are jumping on something that has not been established at all. We’ll have to wait until the note is released and we see what it actually says in context.
