from a prophecy/apocalypse/anti-satanic site:
It is odd that the muslims are deemed the progeny of the illegitimate child. This is an indication that the author is indeed an agent of Empire. The 'satanic verses' may itself be a garbled tradition of the agent's hand and presents an overwhelming preoccupation for the believer.

Thats why less sentimental ,less ritualistic christians have an atraction for islam.
If arabs belive that Ishmael is their ancestor,mandeans(see mandean religion from Iraq)belive that their ancestor is Aram son of Shem,son of Noah(the jews are not from Aram but from Arphaxad) .They see Abraham,Moses and Jesus as false prophets,yet interestingly recognize John the baptist as a prophet.
Seem there was a competition between different semitic groups,each one whit its own national religion.
Maybe the romans suported some sects and persians other local sects(especially dualistic ones).After all ,the Middle east was the battle ground between romans and persians.
