You're halfway there. Jews and Arabs are genetically indistinguishable.

The news that a recent scientific paper on the common genetic roots of Jews and Palestinians had been suppressed by learned journals, because of the political sensitivity of its conclusions, made for depressing reading. Findings that might have provided reason for hope, or even for solidarity between the Arab and Israeli peoples, were instead considered too hot to handle

You still need to work on this one, though

the attraction of Islam's message of conquest and jihad for the tribes of the Arabian peninsula

To find out who introduced the "message of conquest" to the region, look no farther than your own scriptures.

Looks like most of Islam, its history, treatment of the people it conquered, etc. is a whole lot of fraud. These scholars have a duty to bring this stuff to the fore to deal with all the lies about Islam as the historical "religion of peace", etc. Must be fatwa scared.

"The Life of Mohammad is known as the Sira and was lived in the full light of history. Everything he said or did was recorded." What Sardar fails to explain is how, if that is the case, nothing has survived. He says the Prophet himself was illiterate, but was surrounded at all times by 45 scribes who wrote down everything he did and said. These scribes also noted Mohammad's utterances on correct Islamic behaviour (the Hadith), which they wrote on bones, pieces of rock, parchment and papyrus. These, too, were later collected and used to complement Koranic authority. According to Sardar, we therefore know what the Prophet ate, how he treated women, children and animals, and his behaviour in battle. In reality, we know nothing of the sort - everything Sardar claims as historical truth is based on hearsay, on the words passed down by Mohammad's followers.

That is extremely interesting, and something I have not heard mentioned before in any summary of Islam!
