Go spend five minutes regarding it on wikipedia.

Islam is an Abrahamic religion, as are Christianity and Judaism.
Wikipedia repeats what ever is most posted to it as fact like a poll, it has had all kinds of false stuff up there for months, including some poor guy who's biography was submitted as being an arrested rapist though that never happened.

Wikipedia is OK for most of the technical contributions, but on biographies, culture and other things, they are not as good.

Try other credible sources for a more accurate view.

I really don't depend on Wikipedia for many things after learning that it isn't necessarily researched before being posted as a fact.

Wikipedia needs safeguards that work
Wikipedia keeps getting in trouble because its open model -- where anyone can write and edit entries -- is an invitation for character assassination, ideological crusades and outright vandalism, as well as legitimate scholarship.

Man Apologizes After Fake Wikipedia Post
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A man who posted false information on an online encyclopedia linking a prominent journalist to the Kennedy assassinations says he was playing a trick.
