Re: A learning discussion about Islam.
Well, I can tell ya the lineage Muhammad supposedly came through...Abraham's concubine, Hagar's son, Ishmael...that's about the extent of my knowledge...looking forward to some input from those who know more...
This was written about long after the fact.
The reason we know so little about these people is that everyone was illiterate and nothing was written down.
a 100% fabricated genelogy from Ishmal to Muhammed was documented.
First we have to go into Muhammeds birth. He was an orphan early on and almost died, a wet nurse took care of him.
He was nobody in town, just another baby.
He was adopted into the Qusayy family.
Qusayy purchased the Custodianship of the Kab'ba fro a "Skinfull of wine and a lute" Islam's holiest site bought for music and booze.
He bought it from his grandfather, who conquered the tribe who lived there. The Juriam I believe, there were two before the Quaresh, Qusayys tribe.
All the settlements had Kab'bas, the people brought their offerings there, prayed there, walked around it , one of the pillars that would later become Islam.
The custodians were the bronze age televangelists, and profited from it.
Muhammed could not inherit it, it was for a blood relative, over 40, male, he did not qualify.
Muhammed spoke to spirits in a cave, and started his own religion, much to the chagrin of the townsfolk.
They became frustrated with him and tossed him out of town.
Now comes the lineage.
Ishmael to Muhammed.
and this is fully documented, I can look it up and get a link if interested.
Ishmael was 2000 BC.
Mecca was not even inhabited until 400 ad, and it was by different tribes.
Muhammed was nobody, why does he have a lineage.
what was it written on, where is it now. an excuse is camel bones.
what language was it written in.
I can see when he was tossed out of town,...….. and take your 20 tons of camel bones with you
Islam is one fabrication after another, the Qur'an is 9th century, not the 7th.
Most of the documents are 10th to 12th century.
Even the companions of Muhammed, supposed stories written by men who know him,
were written hundreds of years after the fact.
