[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 163751, member: 17438"] This has actually been my understanding of Islamic history for quote a while. There is a fascinating book on this subject called, "The Hidden Origins of Islam": [url="http://www.amazon.com/The-Hidden-Origins-Islam-Research/dp/1591026342"]Amazon.com: The Hidden Origins of Islam: New Research Into Its Early History (9781591026341): Karl-Heinz Ohlig, Gerd-R Puin: Books[/url] It demonstrates that Islam was not founded in the sixth century BUT IN THE EIGTH under the Abbassids. The Dome of Rock Mosque was actually a Church. It bears an inscription supposedly from the Qur'an about Jesus, denying his divinity and speaking of 'muhammad'. But 'muhammad' was a phrase ORIGINALLY APPLIED TO JESUS! We have coins from the Arab conquered Persia which bear depictions of Jesus and crosses with the word "muhammad" - that is, "The Praised One". Thus a famous mosque inscription may refer not to Muhammad but, astonishingly, to [I]Jesus. [/I] It has the conclusion that Islam actually began as an Arabian form of Christianity which did not believe that Jesus was Divine but purely human. Its sacred text was the Bible [B][I]AND[/I][/B] a Syriac commentary on the Bible with biblical quotations called the Ur-Qur'an - a lectionary. Over time this text was doctored to become a Sacred Scripture in its own right called the [I]Qur'an. [/I] that Mecca did not actually exist at the time of Muhammad, in the location the Hadiths claim. There was no major trade route in that area, and we have no concrete evidence for things such as the Quarysh tribe, Muhammad's battles etc. Nada. Nothing. Mecca and the Kaaba were situated in Syria. This is confirmed by Byzantine historians of the fourth-sixth centuries such as Siculus Diodorus and Jacob of Edessa. What this means, is that the Muhammad of the Hadiths might very well be a different person from the historical one. The Hadiths were written around 200-300 years after the death of Muhammad. The earliest biography of Ibn Ishaq was written 130 years after the prophet's death. The [I]earliest[/I] biographical material about Muhammad dates from at least 125 years after his reported death. Six decades passed before the Arabian conquerors—or the people they conquered—even mentioned Muhammad, the Qur’an, or Islam. Many scholars believe that the Qur’an was constructed from existing materials—including pre-Islamic Christian texts. Even Muslim scholars acknowledge that countless reports of Muhammad’s deeds were fabricated. The oldest records referring to a man named Muhammad bear little resemblance to the now-standard Islamic account of the life of the prophet. While Judaism and Christianity have been subjected to searching historical criticism for more than two centuries, Islam has never received the same treatment on any significant scale I can't say if its 100% legit but its an intriguing and increasingly well-documented theory.
