OK. I have a few questions about Islam, due to some either conflicting or doubtful-seeming information I have received.
The first, something I was taught so long ago that I can't remember where it came from (probably church, but who knows) just seems strange to me. I was told that the lineage that eventually led to Islam came from Ishmael, Abraham's first son with Sarah's maidservant. True or no? I remember it being presented as "evidence" that Islam is false, but I can also see it used as a proof of truth.
The next is more of an east-west difference, methinks. Here in the US, my significant other was going to an Islam center for a bit to learn a bit more. The imam was a woman. Is this just another place where the US is more liberal, or is this common, or is this really freakin' weird?
