    Please view this inscription. It indicates that Khybar was destroyed in 567CE http//www.islamic-awareness.org/History/Islam/Inscriptions/harran.html How does this reflect the conquest of Khybar of the Islamic tradition? http//www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Articles/companion/20_ali_bin_talib.htm

    This must in thousands of sites in internet. If you look you will find it, but I suppose it is more comfortable for you to demand that somebody else does it and then you can judge, because for everybody else seems to be easier than for you, but there you are wrong. It is time and work to look for things. Of course it was a massacre on many people and of course were the israelis and of course it happenned and of course we are not walking electronic encyclopedias to provide the right set of couments at request. People here have already given several directions. I will give you one more adress where you will probably not find that, but from where you can probably get to other sites and eventually find what you want. Here it is www.israelshamir.net Best of luck with your search Salaam

    Peace bro Ayman Yes this makes sense to me... This part of my question/statement is refuted. So yes she would not be called al-kubraa, but kubar or kabar. But I must point out that according to John of Damascus, the black stone was called "Stone" (I am assuming he meant Hajr) ... he then mentions that the stone is the head of Aphrodite, whom they call "Chabar/Chobar" in their language. So Allat is being called Chabar, not the stone... My second question was, for us to undertsand why is there a jump between verse 18 and 19, we have to read on to verse 25 to get the context. If I were an Arab pagan, even if I called Allat as Chobar and not Kubraa, the moment I reach the end of verse 18, something in my mind would sort of click as to what might follow. But yes I understand that is futile question as I am not an Arab pagan an this is not the 7th or 8th centure CE. I hope D

    Very interesting, and it kind of makes since the place called Jerusalem inhabited by the Canaanites before the Jews moved in... my only concern is if there is some kind of evidence to support that Babylon attacked and occupied the Yamen area and actually took slaves? Another indication is the word El (the Arabic Eel, as in Israa'eel) turns into the word Yahw(h) i.e. Babylonian God into a Canaanite God...

    For some reason, I'm inclined to believe that this little old lady fossil might not be Homo erectus. I'd say the anthropologists would create a new species to accommodate her in the future... That said, the fossils are very fragmentary. Just a skull (of the little old lady erectus) and a jawbone (from a younger habilis). I wonder how it would feel if there are more than one human species living today... What would we do? Probably arguing over "speciesism". The new slogan would be "hey, we're all primates...".

    peace all, I think 80% of the population in the Indian sub continent believe in such miracles .....in Lahore only we have the shrines of more then two dozen sufi saints....the most notable of which is the shrine of Ali hajveri where thousands of people go daily.....there are thousands of shrines of sufi saints in Pakistan alone. however according to my study, they were literary and pious people of their times who preached the message of religious tolerance, communal harmony, liberalism, humanism and love. Tear down the mosque and the temple; break everything in sight But do not break a person?s heart, it is there that God resides Mullah and the torch-bearer, both from the same flock Guiding others; themselves in the dark ?Parde ilm hazaar kitaaba, kaddee apnae aap nu paraeya nahee, jan jan vardae mandir maseethee, kaddeee man apnae vich varaeya nahee." This roughly translates into ?They study thousands of books of knowledge, yet they never study their own self! They eagerly enter the temples and mosques, but they dare not enter into their own hearts to find the truths of their own self!" None of them have ever claimed of possessing any miraculous powers . All the miracle related with them are the innovations of the caretakers of their shrines for whom their shrines were/are a source of income generation. unfortunately people instead of studying the works of these Sufi saints...study the books written by others about these sufis and that is where the basis of all miracles related with them have their foundations. peace

    Peace all, Orthographic evidence from al-qur'aan indicates that it was originally descended in the North Arabian Lakhmid province region, and thus the Prophet was most likely from that area. Please see the following article for details http//free-minds.org/articles/history/ayman1.htm According to evidence from al-qur'aan, the Prophet and his companions are spoken of as being physically in or around ruins of the town where Lot had lived 37133 And Lot was one of the messengers. 37134 When We saved him and all his family. 37135 Except an old woman who remained. 37136 Then, We destroyed the rest. 37137 And you pass by their ruins in the morning; 37138 And in the night. Do you not understand? The only way in which one can pass by a place in the morning and the evening is evidently by living somewhere in the vicinity. The ruins of the town of Lot were located in the Dead Sea area. According to evidence from al-qur'aan, the Prophet must have been in the vicinity of olives, grapes, and pomegranates (6141, 134, 1611, 1667, 1832, 2319, 3634, 8028-29, 951). Mecca was not suitable for any kind of agriculture, and one could not possibly have produced olives there. All these evidences indicate that Prophet Muhammad was most likely from the North Arabian Lakhmid province region near Dead Sea area.

    How many Verses in The Quran that Informs us That, Allah sent Prophets/Messengers/Warners to every Nation, Tribe in their own Languages?. Just because The Quran mentioned several Mid-East people and Locations , Does not mean All happened there ! What he said. Also, I think it's more than just coincidence, seeing as though civilization started off in the middle east, most notably Iraq and the rest of the fertile crescent (Abraham's first and second homes). You will find such stories carried from long in our People's history Flood etc.

    Yes, the same Umar. And no, this is not from the net boy. This is from real books............. Interesting.. Can you please tel us who wrote these "real books"?? You are saying that a man named "Omar" conquered Jerusalem in 638. Historical Fact in 638, Jerusalem was under the rule of the Roman Byzantines. Question Is there any mention, in the Byzantine archives, of a man named "Omar" who conquered them? I'll believe this only when I see, with my own eyes, a piece of parchment or paper, proved to be 1300-1400 years old by carbon-dating, written in Latin, and mentioning "OMAR" by name. Peace..
