Do you find it offensive? Abraham only loved one son, and that was Isaac.

I suppose so. But the sacrifice was to have been Isaac.

The fact is, even if Abraham loved Ishmael as a son, he was not chosen to be God's sacrifice (and, with Christians, pre-figure Christ). I've realised the Qu'ran disputes this.

In Islam, Prophets are all have a good moral, a good model to human. They have all the good personalities.
In Islam, we were teach that Abraham loves all his son, he did not differentiate between 1 another, and Abraham loves all his wife. Abraham is a prophets and he has all the goodness in him, how can he hate others?
But, in Islam, we were teach that God has chose Ismael lineage, which will be the last prophets that God has promissed.
Thus Muhammad is the last prophets from the Abraham and Ishmael.
If u read mathew 1:1-16 & Luke 3:23-38, u will see that Jesus lineage from Abraham is differents from both gospel!!
How can that be? Genealogy is FACTS and yet, they stated that Jesus is the Son of Joseph which is the Son of Heli (in Luke) and Joseph the Son of Jacob (in Mathew).
JESUS HAS NO HUMAN FATHER!
thus in this genealogy, JOSEPH IS NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS.
JESUS IS NOT JOSEPH SON.
thus, the genalogy from Isaac is false!!

Ishmael was the leader of the Arabs not the Muslim religion. And Abraham loved both sons because God reassured Abraham that Ishmael would be part of a wonderful great nation.

as far as i know, abraham loved ishmael. the reason ishmael was sent away was sarah's jealousy. ishmael's descendants may not have been the ones given the torah, but G-d obviously blessed them in a different way, since the muslims have a great deal of land and have had a very prosperous and successful history. you certainly can't say the same for the jews, who received the torah but at the same time have a very bleak history. muslims probably got the better deal, honestly.

I do not agree that Abraham didn't love Ishmael. He did sent Ishmael and Haggar away but if you read the story He did feel bad and did not want to send them away until God reassured him it was ok.

Don't be a fool. Abraham loved Ishmael, too.

No, I'm a descendant of Charlemange, perhaps Julius Caesar. Any decent father would have loved both or all of his sons. I find it offensive that you insult Abraham (pbuh) in that way.

That's what the corrupted bible tells you
Read Qura'n:
[45:19]
Also mention in the Book (The story of) Ismail: He was (strictly) true to what he promised, and he was an apostle (and) a prophet.
He used to enjoin On his people prayer And Charity, and he was most acceptable in the sight of his Lord.
