Many christians see Arabs and muslims as the descendants of prophet Ishmael and develop racist view and hatred toward them because of their understanding of the Hebrew scriptures but for those who treat the scriptures with fairness and sincerity will see that Ishmael part of God’s covenant with Abraham from the beginning, he is the very foundation of God’s eternal and unconditional covenant with the gentile nations (Heb: גויים Goyim)
