Islamic historical Propaganda

I believe you have been stuffed full of propaganda that has no connection to reality. Islam is the THIRD Abrahamic religion. Abraham was the founder of the tradition, but he was not Jewish, Christian or Muslim. Read Genesis in the Old Testament which tells of his relationship with Ishmael and Isaac. Moses was one of the first Jews, i.e., he helped found the state of Israel.

One cannot be before one is. Muslims did not come into being until the seventh century CE. No Muslims were around before that. Adam did not help build the Kabaa. Abraham did not go to Arabia to visit Ishmael. The Jews and Arabs back then would join forces and fight common enemies. They mingled with each other. If you were taught different than that, your religious leaders taught you wrong. I think they were /are so jealous of the Jews they made up things to make them look better than anyone else. (The Jews had lived in Israel almost 2000 years by the time Mohammed was born.)

It is my opinion that most Muslim political leaders and clerics want to keep you dumb. They don't want you to be educated or have plenty of money. They want you poor and desperate, so that you will throw away your life when they tell you to go into battle. Obviously you read and write English. Use your abilities to do research on the internet that tells you the history of the world without Muslim propaganda. That's what the Muslim scholars did during the golden age of Islam. They spoke and wrote the truth.
