If you’re a graduate of history and you’re unable to read between the lines and separate historical myth from historical authenticity, then you need to humble yourself and unlearn and relearn what you’ve previously learned.
Again, in the Judeo-Christian original, Galatians 4:21-31 to be specific, it’s stated that the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Isaac and Ishmael was an allegory.
Now, if the Islamists claim that the Islamic patriarchs including Mohammed were of the line of Ishmael, and the story of Ishmael has been established to be an allegory, where could the Islamist patriarchs and Muhammed possibly have descended from?
This brings me back to my original submission: the Quran is not original to the Islamists; rather, it’s a compendium of Judeo-Christian texts (another well-packaged BS), plagiarized by the Ottoman Turks in Constantinople. Linking Mohammed, a philosophy, to biblical Ishmael was a clever attempt by the Ottoman leadership to perfect their plagiarism.
Anyway, the story of Ishmael was an allegory, putting the historicity of Quranic Mohammed in doubt.
