@jaclynbabe it would be better if you share your presentation here...

FIRST REASON: Both Jews and Muslims claim Abraham as the founder of their religion, albeit through different sons of Abraham. Jews claim a heritage through Abraham's son Isaac, born to him by his wife Sarah. Muslims claim a history through Abraham's son Ishmael, born to him by Sarah's servant Hagar. Sarah treated Hagar harshly at one point, and Hagar fled into the wilderness. An angel appeared to Hagar during this time, prophesying that her son Ismael would "live in hostility toward all his brothers" (Genesis 16:12 NIV).

SECOND REASON: Another, more recent reason for animosity between Jewish and Muslim people concerns the land called Israel or Palestine. Following World War II, Israel was given a portion of the land of Palestine as the modern nation of Israel. Many Muslim people revolted against this turn of events. Especially bitter has been the struggle over Jerusalem, considered the most sacred city to Jews and the third most sacred city to Muslims. Even today, an Islamic mosque sits upon the historic location of the Jewish temple and is a major point of contention.

THIRD REASON: Its the fuel generation rate. As it's different in each territory.
