You're kidding, right? "The Arabs" "originated" with someone called Ishmael like Achilles originated from the nymph Thetis. This is creationism.

It has been said that all Arabs trace their origins to Isma'il, the son of Ibrahim; upon them both be peace. However, what is well known to be true is that the 'arab al-Ariba (the original Arabs) came before Isma'il. Among them were the people of Ad, Thamud, Tasm, Jadis, Umaym, Jurhum, and the 'Amaliq, as well as others known only to God. Also, these peoples both came before and were contemporaries of Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh). Yet the 'arab al-musta'riba (the Arabized Arabs), the Arabs of the Hijaz, were the descendants of Isma'il, son of Abraham; upon them both be peace. The Jewish people, on the other hand, are descendants of Prophet Ishaaq (pbuh), second son of Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh). Prophet Ishaaq's son Prophet Yaqub (pbuh) is the father of the Jewish people.

Yes you are right, not all.
