Bingo. Islam is re-packaged, re-sold Baal worsbip. Created by another bigger traditional religion at the time, as a means of aiding to wipe out the jews, failed and got out of hand. Hence the crusades. Just a part of history, but not the rewritten version.
Baal worship started before there was an ID of the Jews. At the time it was Hebrews or the 12 tribes, and one half tribe, of Israel. That is..until after Solomon. Then the nations spit.
But Baal worship continued after the Tribes were removed from Israel, except at/after that time the area of Midian became kind of remote and forgotten. Then came Mohammed. Claimed it all for himself.
