The linage of Hagar? Well thats an interesting story in itself. Infact I think that story which was written by a human is the base for many of the problems we see today. God gives Abraham's wife permission to allow him to sleep with her handmaiden, turns around and years later allows her to get pregnant. This leaves 2 offspring each with a different mother. God in his infinate wisdom states the Hebrew child will be ruler supreme and the Egyptian and his offspring will be the ass of man. People actually took that as reality.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading in my Islamic History class that it is the Muslims who claim themselves to be decended from Ishmael (from Hagar).
