"WE INVENTED IT FIRST!"
Posted on 06/12/2008 3:56:00 PM PDT by Nachum
(IsraelNN.com) According to reports in the Asharq al-Awsat daily newspaper, an Egyptian scholar, Dr. Abd-al-Rahman Reihan, claims that archaeological evidence in Dahab in the Sinai Peninsula shows that the Star of David, traditionally thought to be a Jewish symbol, is actually Muslim. Reihan claims that several incidences of the Star of David occur as a decoration in Muslim archaeological sites across the Sinai during the Fatimid/early Crusader period (969-1187).
Reihan has previously claimed that the menorah (another traditional Jewish symbol) is in fact a Roman invention from the times of the Emperor Titus.
Jewish scholars have dated the earliest archaeogical evidence to a figure named Yeshayahu ben Asayahu in early 7th century from the city of Sidon, in modern-day Lebanon.
"WE INVENTED IT FIRST!"
The next thing they will say is that they invented God.
What fools.
Wouldn’t they have had to invent David?
I'm dying here.
Muslims are really easy to hate. And they continually make it easier. Liberals are the same way.
And stars.
Doesn’t the menorah go back to the Children of Israel, and the yearly rememberance of Passover? This report sounds like more Jew hatred from the usual sources.
Unlike most such tripe, this is not that off base.
The first mention of the six-pointed star in Israelite literature was in Amos 5:6, when YAWEH angrily tells His people that “ I hate and despise your feast days…. You shall take up Siccuth, your king and Chiun your images, the star of your God….” Siccuth (Sakkuth) and Chiun (Kaiwan) means “star” and refers to Saturn as a star, and was objects of idolatrous worship, as they were considered to be Assyrian gods. The mixed multitude that went out of Egypt with the children of Israel took the star with them. Like the obelisk, the six-pointed star was an Egyptian idol used in idolatrous worship. In 922 B.C. when Solomon married the daughter of Pharoah, he became involved in Egyptian idol worship and went into magic, and witchcraft. Solomon built an altar to Ashtoreth and Moloch, and the six-pointed star, the chief symbol of human sacrifices in magic and witchcraft circles, came to be called the Seal of Solomon.
The use of the Star is a recent phenomina.
Oh yeah, forgot about him. /sarc
This just in:

That's 1800 years prior to the the Crusader period.
