    Quote from: Altara on February 12, 2019, 02:31 AM

    Because you do not get the methodology I use  for this specific topic of the origins of Islam.


    No, Sebeos never said that the Jews taught the Arabs that they are the sons of Ishamel ; he only wrote that those Jews asked for help by highlighting their common lineage through Abraham.

    Quote
    That the Jews were with the Persians in 614 so what? Did they try to rebuild the Temple when they were in charge of the city? No attestation.


    There is one quoted in Le grand secret de l'islam, so I guess Gallez also quote it, but inaccurately ascribed it to the time of Muhammad while in fact it was during the persian capture of Jerusalem. This is the one that talk about a leader killed after 3 months. I don't remember the name of the source, sorry.

    Quote
    You say : 1/we see Jews marching with the Arab troops
    "We"? What "we"? Gallez and you, from Sebeos  ; other sources attest nothing like that.  Unless I missed something (which is of course perfectly possible...)
    One historical affirmation is not enough (for me).


    Read the Doctrina Jacobbi.

    Quote
    since your consider that they are responsible of the Arab attack in the 630's?


    No I never said that. You get one idea in your head and you go forward despite what is written.



     
     
    Quote
    Except that they do not need the Jews to build a place of prayer, as they are already  sons of Ishmael since ages.


    But they need something more to do it in Jerusalem. Sebeos gives an explanation, the Quran doesn't.


    Quote
    to  understand that Ishmael (The Arabs ) is equally entitled to re build the "House" where it always was : the Temple Mount.


    Sorry but the house built in the Quran by Abraham and Ishamel isn't in Jerusalem, except if Isaac was replaced by Ishmael from the original text.




    Quote
    But the probability that this very specific Quranic word is not invented by a commander in Egypt  is much larger than he has invented it as you seem to state it because you have no other rationale explication of the presence of this word. The Quranic "basmala" is also used in the same papyri. This is exactly the same thing.


    You might be right. Who knows.


    Quote
    You do not respond : who has built the mosques whereas people recite poems?
    The Jews?


    Building a place of prayer is something common in all religions.

    Quote
    This has no values as you still not gives any  references.(bis)


    I did already but you didn't seem to have noticed so let me give them again Smiley

    See paragraph 38
    http://www.theologica.fr/!_Pg_Patristique_Theologiens&OrdresMonastiques_1/ALBOCICADE%20%20Les%20cigales%20Eloquentes/Anastase-le-moine-pdf.pdf

    ................ For instance, Walter's paper also uses a scientific method from mathematics to reach the opposite of Sadeghi's conclusion.  .........

    well that tells me how good they are in using statistics and  collecting statistical information from Quran verses to come to opposite conclusions on same issue ..

    in fact I say Quran is a very very unique book ..  the AUTHORS collected stories for OT &NT and rehashed  them in to a book  to reinforce faith ., And those verses that are NOT related to OT & NT stories ((Which are  not many)) are common polemic statements that will fit in to any medieval story books..

    So in short., that     Syntactic Stylometry     is NOT useful analyzing a medieval book like Quran

    (Doctrina Jacobi V.16, 209. [p. 57]
    When the candidatus was killed by the Saracens, I was at Caesarea and I set off by boat to Sykamina. People were saying "the candidatus has been killed," and we Jews were overjoyed. And they were saying that the prophet had appeared, coming with the Saracens, and that he was proclaiming the advent of the anointed one, the Christ who was to come. I, having arrived at Sykamina, stopped by a certain old man well-versed in scriptures, and I said to him: "What can you tell me about the prophet who has appeared with the Saracens?" He replied, groaning deeply: "He is false, for the prophets do not come armed with a sword. Truly they are works of anarchy being committed today and I fear that the first Christ to come, whom the Christians worship, was the one sent by God and we instead are preparing to receive the Antichrist. Indeed, Isaiah said that the Jews would retain a perverted and hardened heart until all the earth should be devastated. But you go, master Abraham, and find out about the prophet who has appeared." So I, Abraham, inquired and heard from those who had met him that there was no truth to be found in the so-called prophet, only the shedding of men's blood. He says also that he has the keys of paradise, which is incredible.

    Not everyone reads French here, so I am asking you specifically. What do you think of the Dye-Kropp article on the name Isa?

    https://www.academia.edu/1395500/Guillaume_Dye_and_Manfred_Kropp_Le_nom_de_J%C3%A9sus_%C3%8Es%C3%A2_dans_le_Coran_et_quelques_autres_noms_bibliques_remarques_sur_lonomastique_coranique_dans_Guillaume_Dye_and_Fabien_Nobilio_%C3%A9ds_Figures_bibliques_en_islam_pp._171-198

    Reading the last pages is sufficient. Their proposal is that Isa is coming from the oral speech of the South Palestinian Arabs. Inscriptions found by Nevo using Isa supports the theory. What do you think?

     Reply #5287 - February 13, 2019, 03:37 PM
    Tommaso Tesei on Twitter:

    There is a curious tendency in current scholarship to acknowledge the relationship between the Qurʾān and Late Antiquity while simultaneously rejecting any direct connection between concepts, ideas, beliefs, and stories in the Qurʾān and those found in late antique texts.

    Common elements between the Qurʾān and the writings of the late antique world are mostly explained through recourse to the notion of “shared culture” without trying to explain the dynamics of this cultural sharing.

    This tendency, which I call “Qurʾānic exceptionalism,” leads scholars to dismiss, in the case of the Qurʾān, what would seem to be plausible to scholars in any other field of study.

    However noble its aims may be, “Qurʾānic exceptionalism” inhibits any critical analysis of the Qurʾān’s relationship with its historical context.

    In the twitter thread of Tommaso Tesei, which I understand also yeezevee liked, I found this comment by Tesei:

    "I rather think of it as a process akin to how scholars evolved into apologists." This tweet was liked by Dye and Daniel A. Beck.

    I have also read Tom Holland complaining about scholars who do not dare to take unpleasant viewpoints or avoid to conclude.
    Robert Hoyland writes about scholars who are left leaning liberals and do not want to criticize Islam.

    Markus Gross. I think it was, wrote that scholars would have concluded like he did, if they had followed the standard scholarly prosedyre, when evaluating Islam.
    So it seems as scholars are treating Islam differently!

    The news of Professor Harald Motzki’s death saddens us deeply. Professor Motzki was the author of two monographs published by Brill and of numerous contributions to EI2 and EI3.

    Brill was honoured to publish a Festschrift for him in 2011. We deeply regret the loss of a remarkable scholar and a kind person. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

    He will surely be missed. One of the greatest scholars to have walked the earth.

    Maybe I should have used the word scholar instead. No, I don't know his identity apart from him being a Lebanese Christian, perhaps a priest. For a basic biography and introduction to Luxenberg, refer to Ibn Warraq's article. As for van Putten, he is a serious scholar.

    Dye in his article doesn't find him convincing on Isa. He respects Luxenberg and examines his readings on merit. So I'll put my money on Dye this time.


    This seems to be my opinion as well.
