It all goes back to a fight over a birthright... let me explain:
Ishmael and Isaac!
It all began while SARAH and ABRAHAM were hoping to be blessed with a child. God promised them a child (IN GOD'S TIME), but Sarah couldn't wait. She decided to take matters into her own hands and in so doing, she sparked horror for generations to come... THE NATION OF ISLAM!...
Ishmael was not God's chosen for Sarah and Abraham since he was only born owing to Sarah's sin. She would not wait on God's timing for the Son God planned for her and Abraham (That son being Isaac who Sarah would eventually bear on her own).
Sarah, desperate for a child to call her own, asked her handmaid, Hagar to lie with her husband Abraham and bear a child and give it over to Sarah so she could call it her own. This did happen and Hagar had a son that Abraham called, ISHMAEL.
Hagar was, you could say, one of the earliest recorded surrogate mothers.
There was bitterness from Hagar and Jealousy from Sarah that spilled over into the tribe especially when Sarah and Abraham did eventually bear their own child AS GOD HAD PROMISED AND HAD INTENDED. (That son being ISAAC).
Ishmael and Hagar (His birth mother) were eventually cast out of Abraham's clan because Ishmael (Hagar’s birth son) had a fighting spirit and Sarah convinced Abraham that Hagar and Ishmael would kill Isaac to steal his GOD-GIVEN birthright as the TRUE son of Abraham and Sarah.
Ishmael eventually got married and became the father of the now nations of Islam, who are still fighting to this day for what he (They) consider their birthright to nation of Israel).
Israel belongs to the descendants of Isaac, not Ishmael. The God of Abraham says so. Please read the book of Genesis and may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless you with eyes to see, ears to hear and lips to speak the truth.
NOTE for any who missed this:
God did still "Bless Ishmael" with many nations just as He did bless Abraham, through his intended heirs, Isaac and Jacob.
The thing is, the nations that Ishmael was blessed with used their free will and continued to HANG ONTO ISHAMEL'S "Fighting Spirit", thus becoming the hate-filled nations of Islam that the world battles with today.
Isaac's generations were the intended generations that now struggle to maintain their birthright owing to their mother's and father's original sin of having not waited on God's timing in the first place.
There is no spin. Ishmael was blessed. What Ishmael and his descendants did with that blessing was up to them owing to their God-given free will.
It is all in the book of Genesis, which both Muslim and Jew read.

some human beings imagine that Hitler became a closet Jew, which ability his mom might want to were Jewish. in spite of everything they were both horrid monsters - real Fascists. Stalin likely killed more effective human beings by ability of the pogroms than Hitler. that isn't any longer a matter of "sorry", "in charge" or any faith. that is insanity and inhumanity on a grand scale. Such human beings might want to no longer be allowed to cover in the back of their pretend righteousness.

Fear. Its a proven fact that fear makes people believe, say or do what you want. Once you put fear in something you have control over it.
