Quote:How did I try to justify what Mohammed said when I have no idea what that was?
Yes, it struck me as odd also, yet that is what you did.
Quote:I was trying to get you to say why it would matter if he said Arabs were descendants of Ishmael
I never said it would matter. I am asking about what Muhammed said. I have already explained to you, over and over again, in this very thread, that this is not a question of racism or tracing Arab ancestry. If you need me to take this all a bit slower, just say so, but to be honest I am having trouble dumbing this down any more.
Quote:So what was the point you were trying to make? Let's suppose Mohammed said they were, what significance does this have?
Sometimes a question is just a question. I am not sure why asking it irritates you so much. How about we figure out what the answer is before trying to figure out the implications? Otherwise people might accuse you of obfuscating.
