Abraham had an "illegitimate" son Ishmail, borne of his maid, with his wife's consent, since his wife couldn't concieve. His wife then gave birth to Isaac. She then forced Abraham to send Ishmail and his mother away, due to her intense jealousy. Abraham founded Judaism. In his old age, Abraham relented and longed to see Ishmail and heard he was in Mecca. The Muslims claim that together they built the Kaabah. Did Abraham loose his faith in Judaism? When Mohammad the Bandit, learned about this he bade all his followers to turn their heads towards Mecca. He also snuck into Mecca and then proceeded to destroy the idols in the Kabbah. Mohammad then established the Kaabah as the holy shrine of Islam. Since both Islam and Judaism had their origins in the same region, it is often not possible for a layman to distinguis an Orthdox Jew from a Muslim.
