They're not "Abrahamics" --- ignorance noted. The largest Abrahamic religions in chronological order of founding are Judaism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism>, Christianity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity>, and Islam <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions
All the major Abrahamic religions claim a direct lineage to Abraham <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham>: - Abraham is recorded in the Torah <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah> as the ancestor of the Israelites <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israelites> through his son Isaac <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac>, born to Sarah <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah> through a promise made in Genesis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Genesis>.[Gen. 17:16] <http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen.+17%3A16&version=ESV>[11 ] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions#cite_note-11> - The sacred text of Christianity is the Christian Bible <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Bible>, the first part of which, the Old Testament <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Testament>, is derived from the Jewish Bible <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanakh>, leading to similar ancestry claims as above, though most Christians are gentiles <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentiles> who consider themselves as grafted into the family tree under the New Covenant <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Covenant>, see significance of Abraham for Christians <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions#For_Christians> for details. - It is the Islamic tradition that Muhammad, as an Arab <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab>, is descended from Abraham's son Ishmael <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael>. Jewish tradition also equates the descendants of Ishmael, Ishmaelites <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmaelites>, with Arabs, as the descendants of Isaac <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac> by Jacob <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob>, who was also later known as Israel, are the Israelites.[12] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions#cite_note-12> On Wednesday, January 7, 2015 9:10:49 AM UTC-6, KeithInTampa wrote: > > Why are you afraid to call them what they are Plain Ol'?
