Dear friends:

I have found the real culprit behind the chaos and turmoil in the Middle East.

Are you ready for this?

It is Ishmael, the son of Abraham and his mistress Hagar.

An angel of the Lord, no less, said this to Hagar prior to Ishmael's birth:

"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."

That is the story of every Muslim terrorist today. They are wild men, and their hand is against every man. The spirit of Ishmael obviously rules Islam today.

From Wikipedia: "Ishmael is recognized as an important prophet and patriarch of Islam. Muslims believe that Ishmael was the firstborn of Abraham, born to him from his second wife (mistress) Hagar. Ishmael is recognized by Muslims as the ancestor of several prominent Arab tribes and being the forefather of Muhammad. Muslims also believe that Muhammad was the descendant of Ishmael.

So there you have it!
