Jews in the Hijaz and the biggest literary fraud in the history of mankind revisited

Hi Simon

>David-I am not going to defend dhimmi... he can defend himself and then some as you shall see when he responds. I have followed dhimmi's posts for a while now and he is more versed in Islamic history, if not more, than anybody I know.The only sources you will find about Jews living in the Hijaz only come from Islamic sources ie ahadith in which they are not reliable and not real historians. If you are patient you will know what I am talking about. By the time you read this dhimmi would explain if he wishes and I can't wait for this one

Thank you for your kind words you are very correct the evidence that we have is literary evidence that comes to us 2-3 centuries after the death of Muhammad. Just imagine if you, or I, are trying to reconstruct the life of let us say Ibraham Lincoln now and without any extant literary sources. It will be all bogus

You will find my respose to David in the following blog

I also urge you, if you know Egyptian Arabic to watch Father Zakaria Botros' Hiwar al-haq and you can get it at islamexplained.com and you will know why al-qa3ida is willing to pay 60M dollars for anyone who kills him

So much for the religion of peace
