    2 Corinthians 11:4 (KJV) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].

    In Islam, not only do they preach another Jesus, for as you know, they preach that Jesus is not God, but they also preach another Abraham.

    And at the same time, Islam tries to say that they share Abraham with Jews and Christians and this false doctrine is widely echoed in Europe and the Americas.

    The Jewish Virtual Library says that Abraham lived from 1813 BC until 1638 BC. The Encyclopaedia Britannica dates Muhammad from 570 AD to 632 AD so Muhammad could not have had any good information about what Abraham said.

    Nevertheless another Abraham in Islam calls for Muslims to kill Jews and Christians:

    In the Muslim account, however, not only does Abraham leave his country on God’s promise that he will make him “a great nation” (Genesis 12), but he exemplifies the hate Muslims are obligated to have for non-Muslims: “You have a good example in Abraham and those who followed him,” Allah informs Muslims in Koran 60:4; “for they said to their people, ‘We disown you and the idols that you worship besides Allah. We renounce you: enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in Allah alone.’”

    In fact, Koran 60:4 is the cornerstone verse that all “radical” Muslims—from al-Qaeda to the Islamic State—cite as proof that all Muslims “must be hostile to the infidel—even if he is liberal and kind to you” (to quote Sheikh Ibn Taymiyya, The Al-Qaeda Reader, p. 84).

    Islam’s ‘Abrahamic’ Dilemma

    The Arabs have forgotten the blessing that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob gave them:

    Genesis 21:13 (KJV) And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed.

    And, Genesis 21:18 (KJV) Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

    "...Not only is Abraham not a source of commonality between Muslims on the one hand and Jews and Christians on the other; he is the chief figure to justify “enmity and hate ... between us until you believe in Allah alone."
