Oral tradition - they memorize it. It could not be spread by a critical intellect, IMO.

"Oral tradition - they memorize it."

False teachings of your childhood. Homer did not write brilliantly 500 years after the fact. He was contemporaneous.

No oral history. Thus, the Arabs are not passing on oral history but bigotry and hatred.
