    What did Hagarism say about Muḥammad? If I remember correctly, not much, apart from the following:

    -   He existed.
    -   He was an Arab.
    -   He allied with Jews.
    -   He preached the return of the Messiah
    -   He initiated the Near Eastern conquests.
    -   He sought the Holy Land.


    It is totally in line with the narrative. Apart :
    -He preached the return of the Messiah
    -He allied with Jews.
    -He sought the Holy Land.
    Those (above) are details.
    The core narrative is accepted as such (Mecca/Medina/Kaba) and Prophet Muhammad producing the Quran there or further north (it has no importance).
    To be sceptic would have been to put aside this core narrative. That she has not done. That is why she used it in her studies of the Quranic text.

    well  you got to read that first 140 pages book again dear Altara .


    When a scholar in a scholarly work say that someone has existed and that this someone is known to have produced something famous and that she did not say that he had not produced this famous thing, it means that  the someone she write about is the same as the someone recounted by the narrative that all the planet knows.

    Oh my goodness gracious...  Altara dear Altara .. you got to change...

    otherwise YOU WILL NOT PUBLISH ANYTHING... You appears to be extreme critic... you will not able to referee any publication   without rejecting it.,   how and why would you expect one publication one book to tell everything about Islam in 1977?

    She got enough time after to say it. She never did, because she did not think it. She was a great believer.
    The interesting thing is that guys like Pregill continue to spread the legend of the 'sceptic' Crone.

    I am not harsh on her. She really did good work. But that doesn't take away she was a believer.

    Why did she believe?

    Out of conviction? Was she a secret muslim?  dance She didnt want to ruin her career? I really dont know.

    no one is putting any scholar on a pedestal dear mundi... no one is saying her work should not be criticized dear mundi...  I was objecting to the word "believer"  "great believer"
    you  guys were picking on her work  of that little booklet "Hagarism" and calling her "believer" ......  where as in fact she was the first who questioned existence of connection  of these towns...  Mecca, Madina.. Zam..zam with origins of Islam in 1977  in that booklet".

    and i do not think you guys are reading that one page news clip from her carefully

    please read that 10 year old  2008  oped article What do we actually know about Mohammed?  again..  we will  discuss....

    Both of you guys (Yeez and Mahgraye...) take seriously and personally something that they should not. It is normal, as the general topic is very near them (Islam, Allah, whatever...)
    Nobody here engage personally  Crone.  I engage her in her scholarly position, nothing else. Accessory also about what is said/thought about her by almost all scholarship and regularly stated by guys like Pregill. Crone has become the pope of scepticism whereas she was not or on accessory details which do not question anything :
    -He preached the return of the Messiah :detail : Doctrina Jacobi
    -He allied with Jews :detail : Sebeos
    -He sought the Holy Land:detail : Doctrina Jacobi

    Those are details and do not question the master narrative.

    I do not call this "scepticism" "revisionism" or whatever.
    Wansbrough is the only one in the field but as his access is difficult... it is far more easy to attack Crone.  Issue is that she was not what they say. I consider this awful, unjust, wrong and scholarly inexact as the list above evidences it.

    Some one used to call me mullah yeezevee on these  forums., now you are saying I am believer of Islam, Allah, whatever.,  anyway what you said  below with reference to Crone is different. so I address it separately

    she never said  she was pope of Islam skepticism .,


    And why are    you so jealous of her work on ""Hagarism""?   ..LOL

    Is it because she was the first one to say that ORIGINS IF ISLAM IS NOTHING T DO WITH MECCA MADNA ZAM ZAM  .. YOUR MECCA MUHAMMAD ZAM ZAM SONG??.. Cheesy

    What does that mean?  It means "Mecca as a place existed before Islam,  during the beginning of Islam   and after death of Muhammad...."
