Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham.
Arab is ethnic, Muslim is a religion. Ishmael is not the father of the Muslims, only of the Arabs.Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. Arabs are indeed descendants of Ishmael, but they weren't Muslims. Let us remind all the Catholics who have been deceived by the 'ecumenical' heresy that denies the Holy Trinity that the that the counterfeit Abraham in an Islamic Abraham, not a Jewish one.
Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham.

«Today I was asked a question which I have been asked a good number of times. So, I thought I would give a simple answer here. A young man wrote and asked: “Can you please tell me whether the descendants of Ismael are Muslims?”
Because I have been asked this question a good number of times I thought I would answer it simply here.
So Arabs are descendants of Ismael (Gen 25:12-18). Mohammed was an Arab. He started a new religion called Islam but not all Arabs followed him. Not all Arabs are Muslims. The largest Muslim nation is Indonesia and they are not Arabs. In fact, the three largest Muslim countries are not Arab.
And the Middle East at one time was almost 100% Christian and most of them were Arabs. In fact, in the Holy Land today the Christian population is almost entirely Arab Palestinian.
According to Wikipedia, “Around 62% of the world’s Muslims live in the Asia-Pacific region (from Turkey to Indonesia), with over 1 billion adherents. The largest Muslim population in a country is in Indonesia, a nation home to 12.7% of the world’s Muslims, followed by Pakistan (11.0%), and India (10.9%).
Arab is ethnic, Muslim is a religion. Ishmael is not the father of the Muslims, only of the Arabs.»
Mohammed perverted the Old and New Testament and forbade his followers to read them
Nor do divine pronouncements on the part of preceding prophets offer him [Mohammed] any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimonies of the Old and New Testaments by making them into fabrications of his own, as can be. seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place any faith in his words believe foolishly. (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Contra Gentiles, Book I, ch. 6)
Saint John the Evangelist forbade any interaction with those who professed a mutilated and corrupt version of Christ’s teaching
Everyone knows that John himself, the Apostle of love, who seems to reveal in his Gospel the secrets of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and who never ceased to impress on the memories of his followers the new commandment ‘Love one another,’ altogether forbade any intercourse with those who professed a mutilated and corrupt version of Christ’s teaching: ‘If any man come to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him: God speed you’ (2Jn 10). (Pius XI. Encyclical Mortalium animos, no. 9, January 6, 1928)
St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
"It is absurd for a heretic to say that he believes in Jesus Christ. To believe in a person is to give our full consent to his word and to all he teaches. True faith, therefore, is absolute belief in Jesus Christ and in all He taught. Hence, he who does not adhere to everything Jesus Christ has prescribed for our salvation does not have any more of the Doctrine of Jesus Christ than the pagans, Jews and Mohammedans."

“It would take too long to tell you all the stories about this famous impostor (…) Mohamed’s religion consists of a monstrous mixture of Judaism, Paganism and Christianity. Mohamed propagated his religion, not through miracles or persuasive words, but through the force of arms. [It is] a religion that favors every sort of licentiousness and which, in a short time, allowed Mohamed to become the leader of a troop of brigands. Along with them he raided the countries of the East and conquered the people, not by introducing the Truth, not by miracles or prophecy; but for one reason only: to raise his sword over the heads of the conquered shouting: believe or die.” -- St. John Bosco
St. Ambrose:
"Even heretics appear to possess Christ, for none of them denies the name of Christ. Still, anyone who does not confess everything that pertains to Christ does in fact deny Christ."The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Faith:
* To the contrary, Faith is a supernatural virtue; thus, a false religion is not a faith; be it, a form of Protestantism or Mohommedanism.
153. When St. Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, Jesus declared to him that this revelation did not come "from flesh and blood", but from "my Father who is in heaven". 24 Faith is a gift of God, a supernatural virtue infused by him. "Before this faith can be exercised, man must have the grace of God to move and assist him; he must have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who moves the heart and converts it to God, who opens the eyes of the mind and 'makes it easy for all to accept and believe the truth.'" 25
Vatican Council I (Ecumenical XX)
Faith is a supernatural virtue by which one believes that the things revealed by God are true.
There is no equality between Catholics and those who follow a false religion
For, the most benign God both excites the erring by His grace and aids them so that they can ‘come to a knowledge of the truth’ (1Tim 2:4), and also confirms in His grace those whom ‘He has called out of darkness into his marvelous light’ (1Pet 2:9), so that they may persevere in this same light, not deserting if He be not deserted. Wherefore, not at all equal is the condition of those, who, through the heavenly gift of faith, have adhered to the Catholic truth, and of those, who, led by human opinions, follow a false religion. (Denzinger-Hünermann 3014. Vatican Council I, Dogmatic constitution Dei Filius, Ch. 3, April 24, 1870)
