The story they are putting out is that Abraham didn't bless Issac but blessed Ishmael instead and that the Books of the Jews and Christians are lies that Mohammed got straightened out.
They add that Adam built the Kaaba in Mecca which was damaged by the Great Flood and Abraham and Ishmael came down to repair after the Flood receeded.
Well, that's the scoop from Mecca these days.
What do you think about this, huh?

Sprry for the typing error Muslim. Muslin is more naturally in my typing fingers.
To Artist--I am not confused about anything. I am only reporting the summary of passages in the oldest forms of the Koran and not from the sanitized one in general circulation in the West. Frankly, I was hoping for Muslim comments about this version. It is authentic, and if you use it to link Adam to the Kaaba then it naturally follows that Adam was an early Muslim, and that Islam is the oldest religion of all.
All I'm doing is asking for responses. I'm not trying for anything more than that.

It is false, Issac is the child of the promise God made to ABRAHAM, NOT ISHMAEL, he was just the product of, a sad woman, who made her husband commit sin, just so she might have a child to raise.she said to ABRAHAM, LET YOUR SIN BE upon me. God did not forget his son by the slave woman though. He said 12 princes will come out of him, but he also said, he will be a wild man and be a thorn in his brothers side forever.That means MUSLIMS will always hate the people of GOD,FOREVER.

We don't believe Adam built the Kaaba, we believe Abraham and Ismael built it and established it as a place of worship. And we believe that Issac and Ismael were both great prophets who gave birth to great nations. We do not claim to be the oldest religion in the world, some nations were destroyed because of their idol worshiping in the past. We have faith in the previous books and we believe the Quran has come and Confirm the prior revelations.
"God has purposely made us different (in race, nationality, and religion,) to learn from each other not despise one another"-Quran. We believe God has made a convent with the Jews and Christians, and they will be judged occurring to their books.
Islam means "submission to God". It is an at peace state of mind coexisting with good actions. Real Muslims are at peace with themselves.
Less Sword: "Okay," I have heard of that, but the Quran also teaches us that those who follow what is open to interpretation in the Quran have deviation in their hearts, the jewels of the Quran are the five pillars of faith. He also stated that he would protect the text of the Quran from being adulterated. (in Friendly Manner)
Surley, All Knowledge belongs to God.

Non-sense. I'm sure they can get away with that, especially since it seems many of their laws include NOT reading anything unless "They" say it's ok. So, of course, the common person can't even look this up, they have to take it as truth from their Religious Leaders.
But it doesn't surprise me. People will do anything in order to make their religion look Right above all others.

This is a twisted version of what most Moslems believe interpreted by someone who is not a Moslem. The Prophet Mohammed called for respect for the Bible and protection of the people of "the Book" (the Bible). This statement is as simple minded as saying Christians believe in canabalism because they celebrate eating Jesus' body and drinking his blood.

I believe the oldest "known" belief is Zoroasterism. Which came from Persia. There are Sumerian writings said to be the oldest
written material. I don't know if they have found any religious
teaching in that.
The oldest presumed name for God, was Agla. Found in
magical writings and believed to have been the creators name on Atlantis.
