Already had a tussle today with an Islamophobe on Facebook (the day after the US election of a racist hatemonger). She was saying that Islam was not recognized by the Christian God, well the book of Genesis says otherwise. Muslims are our brothers and sisters, folks, if you're of an Abrahamic religion, they are our spiritual relatives through Abraham's son Ishmael. We need to get along. We have one planet. Christians and Muslims have already tried out the mutual annihilation thing in ages past. It's time to learn to "live together as brothers or perish together as fools"...as the Great MLK Jr. said.
This is what the biblical God had to say about the future religion of Islam:
Genesis 17:18-20 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!”19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.
