I thought so to but it was done briefly.

1. There was a sculpture depicting Abraham worshiping to the sun moon and stars not sure how far back it was dated but pretty ancient.
2. After the towel of babel Abraham was called on to restore the faith and convey monotheism of course.
3. The question of who the promise was given to came up - Isaac or Ishmael. Jews claimed it was Isaac and the Muslims claimed it was Ishmael. There is an synagogue dated back to the 6th century in Northern Israel depicting a painted scene of Abraham about to sacrifice his child. The painting does not say whether the child is Isaac or Ishmael but as I said previously it is the message that holds the importance.
4. Then they forwarded to the present day - Jerusalem, and the conflicts and separations between the Jews and Muslims. Each having their own interpretations of the bible. We own this and we are the chosen that type of ting. Daiz basically it as you saw the rest.

Was wondering if you saw the part on Bush? Interesting the way he squeezes God and fragmented bible verses into his speeches.
