Of course I'm not familiar enough with the Koran to comment on everything he says in his thesis but, I'm am familiar with Genesis and his portrayal of sending Ismael out is incorrect. Yes God was going to make nations of Ismael's seed but, His intent wasn't to have two parallel lines blessed by the promises given unto Abraham. The promised blessing was Issac alone. I think the author was trying to twist scriptures to find common ground between the two groups. I can imagine he did the same with the Koran. I doubt if any but the most moderates in either group would accept his interpretation of their holy books.
