 Yes, I see what you're saying.  From a religious/biblical scholar's 
perspective, I was wrong.  I was talking outside the bounds of religion though 
and trying to make the point that there were no clear cut lines between Arab 
people and Jewish people (genetically, as I noted).    

 If Ishmael was an Old Testament guy, certainly his ancestors had plenty of 
time to get around.  Reality bites (and fornicates too).

 9.      The Abrahamic Covenant was given only to Isaac and to his descendants. 
 Ishmael and the other sons of Abraham were explicitly excluded by God from 
having any part of the covenant made with Abraham.  (Gen. 18:18-21)
 10.    Therefore the descendants of Ishmael and the other sons of Abraham do 
not have any claim to the land of Israel because they are not included in the 
covenant God made with Abraham.  Only the Jews have any claim to the land of 
Israel.

 You have got to be kidding!  Are you trying to say that Jewish people aren't 
descendants of Ishmael?  Do you realize that Jewish and Arab folk come from the 
same DNA, the same part of the world, and are separated only by their religion?

 You do realize how ridiculous this is, don't you?  I guess you don't!  And 
this is why you bolded the word "Arab"?
