Ishmael is recognized as an important prophet and patriarch of Islam. Muslims believe that Ishmael was the firstborn of Abraham, born to him from his second wife Hagar. Ishmael is recognized by Muslims as the ancestor of several prominent Arab tribes and being the forefather of Muhammad.[36] Muslims also believe that "Muhammad was the descendant of Ishmael that would establish a great nation, as promised by God in the Old Testament.[37]"
And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of 12 rulers, and I will make them into a great nation. — Genesis 17:20
Conclusion, Mohammed took the Judaic religion and Bible and created a different narrative where Ishmael (First Muzz) got screwed and Ole Mo, descended from him (yeah right) used this as justification for "righting this wrong" against his ancestor. Since he wrote it, he put in all kinds of goodies for the followers to see and say Heck yeah that sounds like me! Rape, kill, pillage and when you die 72 Virgins....
Marketing to folks to whom basic existence and living day to day was enough, this gave them a reson, a cause to "get me some"
No love involved, except death and destruction of all else but them...
So.. you claim to be the author, you cite Wikipedia.. but don’t want to hear any crap about it?
Yeah, that’ll work.
I understand your hesitancy with Wikipedia, I do not take anything at first blush but point noted...
There are many other sources for the same info, they will be cited in future posts and replies
So what did you take away from the information provided, or did you “assume” when you saw Wiki that it was invalid from the jump...
Just inquiring...
But not today, not here.
Just too dang busy for that, yep.
It's probably a secret, huh? Secret sources? Inside information?
Nope, there if you really look for it...
In plain sight...
Re:Ishmael: And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
We need to remember that there are at least TWO definitions of “peace.”
1. The absence of war or conflict. This is the one embraced by most free peoples of the world.
2. The absence of RESISTANCE to aggression, attack or policies, doctrines and ideologies of a barbarous system with which one disagrees. This is the one held by most western liberals, communists (now called “progressives” and “Democrats”) and the islamofascists.
If the second definition prevails, it invariably leads to the third and final “peace” for the losers — that of the beheading sword, firing squad, bullet behind the ear, etc. and on to the graveyard or lime pit.
A religion of pieces maybe. (Beheading, etc.)
Great find, I am expanding on this premise that all his was simply put was an opportunist in a land besodden with men looking for something to do ...
They hooked up and so starts the Rodeo...
