Both are supposed t be the descendants of Abraham. Ishmael, Abraham's son by his concubine, is supposed to be the father of the Muslims. And Isaac (have I got hte name right?) is the legitimate son of Abraham, the father of the Jews. Actually, of Israel. Isaac's name was changed to Israel. The Jews were just one tribe of Israel. There's a line of thinking that almost all white people are descended from Israel.

They are both very religious and neither eat pork so if they dumped religion and ate a few bacon sandwiches they might get on better..
