If so, then how could it be that accepting Jesus Christ is the only way to God?

The heretical Christian who convinced Muhammad he was a prophet – and may have taught him his erroneous views of Christianity
Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism – and Muhammad's enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations
The "revelation" that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law
The strange incident in Muhammad's life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today
The real "Satanic Verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version): how Muhammad's attempt to win over his opponents ended with his saying he had been inspired not by God, but by Satan
How the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed – with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage
The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord
How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule
"Kill every Jew who comes into your power": why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians – with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today
The momentous command by Muhammad that led to good being identified with anything that benefited the Muslims, and evil with anything that harmed them --without reference to any larger moral standard
Muhammad's child bride – and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world
"This is the caravan of the Quraysh possessing wealth. It is likely that Allah may give it to you as booty": how Muhammad gave divine sanction to the Muslims' bloody raids

How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter
Muhammad's commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians
Muhammad on women's rights: women "are prisoners with you having no control of their persons"
"If justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?" Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior
"I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslims" – and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously
Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law
How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam
The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israel's July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon

No the Nation of Islam not the same as Islam...it not a "real" nation.
As for the Promise from God for Ishmael...look at the Arab states. God has blessed them, they have a lot of the world's oil...

When Jesus said, no one comes to the father but through me, he meant, listen to what I am saying, follow what I am teaching and you will be closer to God. What did the Christians do to that message: They converted the messenger, Jesus, into the God he was preaching them about. Now tell me, are you really following Jesus? Definately not! That's why Islam is the way. We only follow the Prophet Mohammad, we don't call him God or anything. And through his message that he received from God, we try to be closer to God. That was the message Moses had for the Jews and that was the message Jesus had for the Jews again since they messed up the first message somehow. But again, the Christians transformed the messenger into the God Jesus was preaching about.

The Arab people are the descendants of Ishmael. The religion,Islam, came from Mohammad-who was an Arab. But, Islam has spread all over the world now-so all Muslims are not the descendants of Ismael.

God has raised up many great nations but these are not the kingdom of God which is made up from every nation and people who are saved by Christ.

Arabs recognize that they are descendants of Ishmael. God comforted Hagar and him, giving them a place. But, he was a result of not trusting God. Abe laid with the servant to produce offspring, after God said that he would have a child with Sarah.

Jews did not accepted the choice of God due to their jealousy and fabrcated false story about Ishmael and Hagar.

I recently read that many believe that Ishmael is the father of the Arab race. That may include Muslims.

Muslims, arabs in particular, claim to be descended from Ishmael. Therefore...
