Read Genesis 17.  Who was Ismael?  I blame Abraham & Sarah. He/she did not believe God's promise. Understand this story and you will understand why we are where we are, thousands of years later.    Sins of the father is a real thing.  "He (Ishmael) will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be over (against) everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live in the presence of his brethren."
