Genesis 16:11 says, "Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has heard your affliction. He shall be a WILD man; His hand shall be AGAINST EVERY MAN, AND EVERY MAN'S HAND AGAINST HIM.
All around the world the sword of Islam is touching just about every nation.

The White Man's Sword has touched every Continent on the Planet. Are they descended from Ishmael too?

Showing that one part of a book fortells something that happens in a later chapter doesn't prove anything. It's like saying that Santa Claus is real because early on in the story it says that he will deliver presents to all the girls and boys and ends up doing just that later on.
It's just a part of good storytelling. It's called foreshadowing. Without it, the story would be flawed. Seriously, your argument is a great example of a logical fallacy. You have proven nothing.

Is there a muslim named ishmael going around upsetting people?
The passage doesn't refer to the seed of ishmael
You people need to actually read the passage rather than tyring to put some DESIRED meaning into it

No it is not real. This is simply psychology in action. If he had said, your son will be a good man, then there would be somebody in your place saying: see, look at all the good that Islam has done in the world, the bible predicted this.
Your interpretation is self-fulfilling.

do you actually think that this is gonna happen?
1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
ive been alive a long time and nothing will convince me that this is plauseable...

so all Muslim are male?
How does that work?
I do have some nice Muslim friends. They are female and nobodies hand is against them, and their hands aren't against anybody. Though I think you are just being very impolite to them.

You can make a book with so many words prove anything you want if you try hard enough, but it still doesn't make it true

What? You can fudge anything you want into that totally ambiguous little blurb. You could insert "crackhead" in there and it'd work just as easily.
