But notice that the “Ismail Ax” detail is nowhere to be seen in the ABC story.

I looked that up! IT HAS TO TO WITH PHYSICS! I wouldn't put too much stock in that.

Ibrahim confronts his people and rejects their idols

He left his father after he lost hope to convert him to the right path, and directed his efforts towards the people of the town, but they rejected his call and threatened him. By Allah, he said, I shall plot a plan to destroy their idols. He knew that a big celebration was coming soon, where everybody would leave town for a big feast on the riverbank. After making sure that nobody was left in town, Ibrahim went towards the temple armed with an ax. Statues of all shapes and sizes were sitting there adorned with decorations. Plates of food were offered to them, but the food was untouched. “Well, why don’t you eat? The food is getting cold.” He said to the statues, joking; then with his ax he destroyed all the statues except one, the biggest of them. He hung the ax around its neck and left.

I don’t know what search engine you used, Area, but I got one physics hit and 230 Islam and Judism hits. Plus a bunch of court cases.

Forgot to say, so far, I’m learning toward the Moby Dick explantion, “Call me Ismael,” since he was an English major.

No, it doesn't.

What’s your reference for the physics connection? Pretty unlikely reference considering he’s an English major!

Can you provide a link? I've not seen “Ismail Ax” in a physics context, but then again I've only had 4 years of physics, with none of it postgraduate work.

Physics?

Would you please post what you found? This is a new take on it.
