Khaled, In the book, Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins, a Jew and a Palestinian open a deli across the street from the UN and call it "Isaac and Ishmael's" - just asking for trouble!
I've always wondered the Muslim view of a particular piece of scripture: And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Gen 16:12 Does Islam read this text with resignation to destiny? Discouragement against God's pronouncement? Justification for violence? Reverence for prophecy which seems to have come true?
