I'm curious how an Israelite and an Egyptian..., could produce a Yemenite..., especially when certain genetic lines died out...


"We are told that [Abraham] was born in Chaldea, and that he was the son of a poor potter who earned his living by making little clay idols. It is scarcely credible that the son of this potter went to Mecca, 300 leagues away in the tropics, by way of impassable deserts. If he was a conqueror he no doubt aimed at the fine country of Assyria; and if he was only a poor man, as he is depicted, he founded no kingdoms in foreign parts." — Voltaire

"For the historian, the Arabs are no more the descendents of Ishmael, son of Abraham, than the French are of Francus, son of Hector." — Maxime Rodinson

"It is virtually certain that Abraham never reached Mecca." — Montgomery Watt

"The essential point ... is that, where objective fact has been established by sound historical methods, it must be accepted." — Montgomery Watt

Right on the area, a district in A'dan,Yemen, and a Cemetery in Mecca ( Jannat Al mualla-The paradise of Al mualla) before it was destroyed by King AL S'oud and his Wahhabism gang .
And Yes on the Muslim.

It is interesting that you would quote Montgomery Watt as some of the themes of his scholarship are at variance with many of your interpretations of history and Islamic theology.
