A topic from Mind, Spirit & Beliefs: Religion

Excuse my ignorance here but as many will know I don't belong to any religion. I am curious though. I have just read in Tony Blair's autobiography: 'It is time the West confronted its ignorance of Islam. Jews, Muslims and Christians are all children of Abraham'.

Who was Abraham? How is he the father of 3 religions?

This is basically based solely on what was said in the West Wing episode 'Isssac and Ishmael'.

Abraham, a Jew, was told by God that he'd have children but after trying for a long time with his wife nothing happened so in the end his wife told him to have a go with their servant/slave girl.

So, he did and she got pregnent and that was his first son.

Afterwards though, he then went and got his wife pregnant afterall - he was just impatient although at this stage he was something like 700 years old now.

However, after his wife gave birth, she then got jealous of the first kid that Abraham had with the other woman - so she got Abraham to kick her out.

And that was the start of the conflict.
