Ishmael

Do you believe the Arab people descended from Ishmael?

By Ed Vasicek on Fri, 01/30/26

Michael Rydelnik and others argue that the idea that Ishmael is the father of the Arabs comes from the Koran and is not a correct teaching (see https://www.michaelrydelnik.org/blog/thoughts-on-antisemitic-terrorism). The idea, however, originated with Josephus.
