Ishmael didn't "create" Islam. Nor did Isaac "create" Judaism.
They are the patriarchs of the lineages of tribal Islam and Judaism, respectively.
What they both get their garments in a bunch over, as I understand it, is which son was the subject of Abraham's human sacrifice.
Which, you're correct, is completely stupid--they're arguing about who gets to lay claim to a role in ancient ritual homicide.
Having said that, it isn't really that surprising, considering the compulsively violent nature of both camps...

What went wrong within this metaphoric idea form. Two brothers fighting against each other to create separate dogmatic belief systems. Someone has to win? The two are dueling it out in/to this day.
OK, a few things here,
Not the same religion.
Not the same God.

Ahh, the Sunni and the Shia?
There is only one God that allows for its expression; to describe itself. This expression can include many disaplines (dogmatic form) that are allowed to fashion themselves to the particular civilization they address. Islam and Judaism do not worship the same god; this is faulty thinking within both; they actually worship the messengers; Abraham and Mohammed. One could say the same of Christianity's sanctity of Jesus. There is a higher force and no one seems to recognize it.

what the hell you talking about " almost twins"?
Ishmael was fourteen years old when Isaac was born. Jacob/ Israel was born when Isaac 60,that would have made Ishmael 74.
Ishmael lived to be 137 years old.
the Hebrews didn't become Judians / Jews until after they left Egypt, hundreds of years later and split into two nations. after God gave Moses the basic laws and customs of the faith.

Yes and yes and yes. Mary was 13 when she birthed the 'Son of God' (married to a elderly widower) what else is new under the sun?
Make your own dream. That's the Beatles story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story. That's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not if you put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Carter or Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you.
You have to do it yourself.
That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshiped for the cover of the book and not what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.
There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome.
And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you. It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around in circles chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that. It's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown. Then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?

Wait one minute here (thank you for your epistle infolurker I am not the scholar you are and rely on your good testimony to make sense of this). There is only one God that allows for its expression *the human* to describe Itself. This expression can include many disaplines (dogmatic form) that are allowed to fashion themselves to the particular civilization they address. Islam and Judaism do not worship the same god; this is faulty thinking within both; they actually worship the messengers; Abraham and Mohammed. One could say the same of Christianity's sanctity of Jesus. There is a higher force and no one seems to recognize it as the creator of the messengers of wisdom.
