If Abraham did exist, it wasn't 1500 years ago. I assume the original post is talking about Muhammed, who was born around 1440 years ago and (unlike Abraham) was a Bedouin. I've seen some suggestion that Muhammed never existed, and was created as a mythical founder of the Empire and of Islam after the fact, but I think there's enough evidence that he existed.
Oops, I didn't notice the "1500 years". Muhammed probably existed, and even if he didn't, a small group of people still created the memes, so the original point stands.
Even I thought he was talking about Muhammad, for whom there is historical evidence.
