Let’s start by noting what isn’t in your litany of posts Rodrigo:
Mainly: A historical source showing that there were no Jews in Arabia after the Arabs took it.
My historical sources are the hadiths. They explicitly tells us Umar, on Muhammad’s wishes, expelled the Jews from the Hijaz, some say the Arabian Peninsula.
And what about Tabari’s History? Doesn’t that count?
What have you got? Some Jews from Arab countries (not even the Hijaz) some 1,400 years later. Lots of things happened in that time, bud.
So where’s your historical source?
pro_universal:
Instead, you quote a bunch of hadith (as always, out of context.)
Oh… the Muslim ‘out of context’ excuse again.
How is, ‘Umar expelled the Jews from the Hijaz’, out of context?
And what do you think are Muslim historical sources anyway?
pro_universal:
If you hadiths meant what you are trying to construe them to mean, it would’ve been an easy matter for the Arabs to kick every last Jews out of their lands over that period between the 640’s and 1948. They didn’t, so your theory has some serious credibility problems there.
But they did.
“Two centuries later, the great chroniclers of Islam believed that the whole of Central Arabia was emptied of Christians and Jews in the wake of Umar’s action. But there are pieces of evidence to suggest that this was not quite the case. For example, it was a Christian of Medina, admittedly a slave, who assassinated Umar. During the reign of Mu’awiya, the founder of the Umayyad dynasty, a force of 200 Christians formed the police of Medina and in Mecca a’cemetery for the infidels’ existed for a long time.
Yet if non-Muslims did remain in the peninsula their numbers in the central region were small. It is almost certain that, three centuries after the revelation, only a tiny group of Christians remained in Najran. The Jews were confined to the periphery.” Courbage, and Fargues, Christians and Jews under Islam, p. 7.

New Hampshire still IS part of America. Palestine has ceased to be part of any Arab empire for 1,000 years.
India is still a member of the commonwealth. That’s the functional equivalent of the Arabs’ role in the Turkish state, which was based on Muslim identity (which is why they all speak Arabic except for the turks.) Your abstractions of hadiths are similar to this point.
Yes, cultural and religious identities do define the character of different provinces. Quebec is a French province of Canada. British Columbia is English.
I beg to differ. You’re misunderstanding what the Commonwealth is.
And Quebec is Canadian – French-speaking, but Canadian.
Your New Hampshire analogy got busted. Get over it.

You really should be praying for Muhammad’s victims instead. That only shows where your priorities lie, Muslim, I mean Catholic.
I pray for the victims of Europe’s 20th century racist fascism, which has produced the greatest horror known to man in World War II. This is where your “tradition” of hating muslims and arabs comes from, and it’s for the elimination of this evil influence on the world that I pray.
And the perpetrators of WWII, Hitler and Mussolini, got done. We, the US, actually fought the fascists and racists known as the Nazis and Fascists and the Muslims under Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el Husseini.
So it is highly objectionable to call us racist fascists when your side fought with the Nazis against the Allies.
I bet you didn’t tell the readers that the Muslims were on the side of Hitler, did you?

You are a product of an intolerant, angry, and violent Europe. I do pray for you, because I can only imagine what a torment it must be to live while hating so many people.
I actually don’t hate Muslims. I hate Muhammad and Islam and what it does to Muslims.
You, on the other hand, cannot see the difference between criticism of Islam versus hatred of Muslims.
You, on the other hand, cannot see the difference between hatred of Muhammad versus hatred of Muslims.
You see, I view Muslims as victims of Islam. Only a Muslim would make the mistake you have. I’ve debated hundred’s of Muslims and you’re all the same and make the same mistakes.
What I do see is the truth: that you never denied Muhammad committed genocide and enslavement of the B. Qurayza.
