, I study it from credible sources and history from credible historians and experts

LOL

How funny it is, you have not cited or sourced a single one.

Opinion, is all you have offered since the start of the thread, and one refuted right winged opinion by Assman

Age of a source does come into play, but does not always dictate historical accuracy.
Rubbish. If we have 1000 sources to an event in a time span of 200 years after the historical event, we don't need some annother one coming 600 years later - especially, when it claims to retell/refer the story, not being an eye-witness account. It's simply logic, something that you seemingly lack which will make sense why you don't understand this.

The rest is just unbelievably stupid, I don't even bother to debunk it - it does it on its own.

It's common knowledge on the Gospel-part. None of what I stated is opinion here, I've referred to actual sources, Assman gave simply his conjecture - none of what is accepted.

I've yet to see any credible sources from you, that is not Wikipedia or debunked.

Islamic Awareness is some blog website created homemade - none of it is academic. You keep going with your conjecture and apologist defenses.
You are no one with no credibility to talk down to said source.
Ironic.


Stop polluting the thread.

Richard Bell argues in his book, The Origin of Islam in its Christian Environment:

...much of the Qur'ân is directly dependent on the Bible, and stories associated with the Bible.[7]

Does not apply at all to the paragraph I posted, How honest is it that you took that from another paragraph?

From your link YOU posted It only applies to the adam and eve section. Mistake or dishonest?

This comparison on the name/kind of tree between Qur'an & Bible needs

We were not discussing tree. Failed attempt again.

What about this source, you magically know more then he does?



[1] Philip K. Hitti, Islam and the West: A Historical Cultural Survey, 1979 (Reprinted), Robert E. Krieger Publishing Company, New York, p.15.

The sources of the Qur'ân are unmistakable: Christian, Jewish and Arab heathen[1].

Stop polluting the thread. And the citation supports nothing of what you're saying, that it "plagiarize" from the Bible. It actually supports my point, Quran is directly referencing chronicles from the Bible.

Now, get off my thread or stay on topic - I will report you next time if you continue.

He supports my statement, the sources of the Quran - indicating it's referencing the chronicles from the Bible and not "plagiarized" as you wrongly claimed. However, I'll say , yes, I know a bit more than* him. There were no Christians there, only Jews, Mandaens, Manicheans, Magians and Arab paganism - little about Christianity was known from Syria and Yemen.

Please report away, this is a public forum in which you do not get to come in and proselytize your opinion unchallenged.
None of what you said is fact, they are subjective conjectures from poorly soured articles. I stated some facts here.

Alsop, public forum does not excuse you polluting the thread with off-topic posts - I need to call you out on that one.
How honest is that?

Qur'ân is directly dependent on the Bible

Dependent and referencing are not the same.
In his context, it is.

Then please go edit it and try to correct these mistakes YOU perceive, and see how that works out for you.
I hope this is trolling. The article admits itself with mistakes. I could edit it, but it's waste of time. I study the history from primary credible sources, not some open source "encyclopedia" full of rubbish conjectures.

NO.

I quoted an article in an encyclopedia.

You then tried to sneak in a discrediting statement from another paragraph that did not apply to the one I posted in any way. How honest is that?
