Again, this only verifies the biblical assertions of Ishmael and Esau. Ishmael is a wild ass of a man, who cannot be domesticated and tamed. His hand will constantly be against his neighbor (Israel). Thus, living in a better peace-loving environment is anathema to him. His nature is to kick and rebel and destroy the stable unless strictly and forcibly bridled. These two offshoots of Abraham's carnal side literally 'live' for the thrill of hate and jealousy of Israel. Why do they suck up all of the privileges and advancements of God's beloved, and yet side with their terror-philic brethern? Because of another passage which states "A double-minded man is like water. Unstable in all his ways."
