Another question i should be asking is was Abraham a jew, if he was, then deffinately Isaac, Jacob and Esau deffinately were. I dont really know who are the true descendants of Esau, but it is said that he was not as hairy as his brother. I wish the Bible would define his colour as a summary to a clear pointer. Then Jacob had his descendants theough his 12 children who gave rise to modern day Israel. While the primary indicator of race is defined in Abrahams time shrouded upon both Isaac and his step brother Ishmael and the decendants of a 3rd wife whose descendants are still not known, no history is discussed to point out Esaus direction. However, Abraham being the Icon, wouldnt it be right to say we are all Jewish....

The Jewish faith is Matrilinear so your premise is faulty...

The only children of Abraham are the Canaanite Jews and the real Arabs from Arabia through Isaac and Ishmael.

You are working with a premise that cannot be proven. You are accepting as fact that the first five books of the Old Testament are completely true, and there is not enough proof to establish that.
There are archaeological sites with human burials that predate the Bible by eons.

no being a muslim is in accordance with thought especially, doesnt mater what you're born as. there are various stuff which could make you cease being a muslim (particular movements and ideology). being a new child of abraham the two skill you're an arab (abrahams son isaac i think of) or a jew/semite (abrahams son ismael) yet being an arab does not immediately make you a muslim and being a jew does not cease you from turning out to be to be a muslim. i ought to have have been given the sons mixed up yet one is arab and one is jew/semite. jesus replaced right into a jew and replaced into sent to the jews so its a similar son.

Abraham wasn't Jewish. Abraham was the father of many nations. His sons were the beginning of Judiasm, Christianity, and Islam.

Nay. Only fools believe in the bible as accurate historical fact. Even most rabbis and priests acknowledge it as Divinely inspired prose, rather than non-fiction.
Unless of course, Abraham was an African psuedo-humanoid, several million years ago...

We aren't all children of Abraham.
If you believe the bible, we're all descendants of Noah.
