(According to the last sentence in this article, the Muslim history also claims that the binding of Isaac in the Bible refers to Ishmael. How then do they explain away the fact that there are references in the Old Testament to a Temple built by King Solomon in Jerusalem? I have read in a earlier article called Arab Leaders Deny Jewish History on The Temple Mount at http://www.adl.org/Anti_semitism/arab/temple_denial.asp that they claim that Solomon's temple wasn't on the Temple Mount.)

Arabs Deny Discover of First Temple Artifacts

(IsraelNN.com) The director of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem has told a Lebanese newspaper that Israeli reports of archaeological finds from the First Temple period are baseless. Azzam al-Hitiv charged that Israel timed the reports to try to prove a Jewish link to the site at the same time the Palestinian Authority has demanded control of the Old City.

Muslims have been conducting a campaign that has escalated in the past two years to convince the world that there is no Jewish connection with the Old City of Jerusalem. They argue that the Western Wall (Kotel) was a hitching post for Muslim horses. Their history also claims that the "binding of Isaac" in the Bible actually refers to Ishmael.
