This line in the article linked to is pure speculation.
There are lots of things NOT mentioned in the bible, and their not being mentioned means absolutely nothing.
Daniel's location at the time of the Golden IMage and the Fiery Furnace is not addressed.
ANY answer given to the question of his location is speculation.
My resources are easily as good as "bibleresources.org". My link to the DNA study says that mixing of DNA is just the way things sometimes happen.
The real point of this is that folks are making a huge point out of a silly objection when they should be excited that someone is telling the bible story of Samson.
Just to consider: If Moses' wife was black, then what were her parents?
Song of Solomon 1:5 KJV I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Song of Solomon 1:6 KJV Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept .
I prefer to stick with Bible accuracy instead of casting a character based on someone’s agenda-driven flight of fancy that he COULD have been this or that....again, based on nothing but politically correct pandering. I’m a conservative....diversity for diversity’s sake means absolutely nothing to me.
You may differ. If that’s your thing, fine, but don’t get in a huff when others point it out.
