I'm sorry, but perhaps you've never read Genesis and know the heritage 
of Abram's son Ishmael.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael

Quote..."Ishmael, son of Abraham, is mentioned in both the Torah and the 
Qur'an. In Islam, he is considered one of the prophets. Jews and 
Christians, through the Torah and Old Testament respectively, generally 
recognize Ishmael as the son of Abraham, by Abraham's wife Sarah's 
female Egyptian servant or slave, Hagar."


Ishmael is the father of Islam so to speak.

Up until the time of Ishmael (I.e., ~ chapter 16 if I believe), God, & 
Allah were the same critter.  They still had the same creation "Myth" 
(myth nothing).

Therefor, it could be argued that teaching Creationism is teaching 
Muslim teachings.   I've no problem with that.
