Is Haskell a Lisp?

Question

I\'ve been reading The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths and Programming by Doets and Eijck 2004. It seems to be a well respected book, but I was struck when it claims that Haske

Arguably, all functional languages are descendants of Scheme to the extent that Scheme stumbled into, roughly, implementing the lambda calculus (though with quirks), and functional languages also implement the lambda calculus, though they don't necessarily always look like it. Also, arguably, the ML lineage is completely distinct because it goes back to Landin's ISWIM, which was influential but never implemented, had very little to do with Lisp, and from the start knew its theoretical foundations.

The real thing though is that Haskell and Lisp have much more in common with one another than either has with either the C family or the Prolog family.

I would have argued that folks should look past syntactic issues, but I forgot that Lispers define syntax as a key part of what it means to be a lisp. Which I think is goofy because then arguably Haskell isn't a Lisp, but Liskell is, even though the latter is basically a processor for the former.
