Quote:C'mon diver, you know how you meant the question
As a question perhaps? I honestly have no awareness of this issue. I'm just trying, apparently in vain, to get a straight answer. Such hostility to getting the basic facts straight always makes me suspicious. For some reason there are usually Muslims involved.
Quote:Consider your question answered. "And also Ishmael?" No.
Yes I think we have already established that Islam is not a race. Is this moving too fast for you?
Quote:That doesn't even make sense. Muslims believe that Adam was the first muslim - so how can muslims "descend" from Ishmael?
Actually, multiple common ancestors is not impossible, or even unlikely. In any case, thanks for answering the first question again. Have you noticed where the discussion has gone since then? I realise setanta has taken it back to the beginning, but you don't have to follow him round in circles.
