Yes, in a way he's also head of a state.

But that is a rather small country, since you can walk around it in five 
minutes.

His main purpose is being the head of the Catholic Church.

And this church is not a state and the believers in this particular 
faith do not build a nation.

Since a few centuries the political power of the Vatican is reduced to 
spiritual advise.

So I would not call the Pope a political leader.

Actually I had similar ideas earlier after reading a German version of 
the Koran in a 19th century translation.

I found it interesting, that the Koran apparently speaks to people which 
are called 'Children of Israel', which Allah helped to flee from the 
Pharao by splitting apart the Red Sea.

Common Muslims cannot read this, since the Koran is written in ancient 
Arabic.

Arabic has a difficult system of writing, since the vowels are not 
written. This allows to interpret the words in up to 30 different 
meanings. And that could allow different translations.

Since German 19th century historians have no obvious bias towards any 
interpretation, they are kind of 'objective' source for a valid 
translation, while especially the Egyptians have a bias.

So my - naive - question was, if Jews and Muslims have something in common.

Actually there are a few things, that both religions share.

For instance they share the bizarre habit called 'circumcision'.

Also the set of holy scripts is somehow similar.

They both forbid the consume of pig and both have the obscure punishment 
called 'stoning'.

Another stream of observations was related to the question, to where the 
'Children of Israel' went after the passage through the Red Sea.

Actually Palestine was not an obvious target, since not located on the 
other side of the Red Sea.

But how about Saudi Arabia?

If you choose to be wrong, I can't stop you.

So what you're saying is that the Koran has the same stupid myths as the 
Bible. So fucking what?

How is stoning "obsure"?

You mean the fictional journey that took 40 years in an area about the 
same size as small state West Virginia? And that left not one shred of 
evidence of millions of alleged Jews living for 40 years.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream 
up a God superior to themselves. Most 
Gods have the manners and morals of a 
spoiled child.

Well, history is a science and somehow similar to crime scene 
investigation.

If there are no written records, you need to make (educated) guesses and 
try to figure out, what was going on, by analysing minuscule hints.

The Islam and the Jews have both a set of scripts, they regard as holy. 
The overall structure of this set is quite similar, only the names and 
the content is different.

'Stoning' as an extremely brutal way of execution. It has also the 
disadvantage to include bystanders in the process of a killing, what 
makes the members of such a crowd literally murderers.

I mean the question, who these people are, which the Koran calls 
'Children of Israel'.

"The Real Mount Sinai Found! "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOLnXkP5i2c

"Forbbiden Pictures Revealed Saudi Arabia Mt. Sinai "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSuKgz3LweE

And if you think about it, than Saudi Arabia was way more profitable 
than Palestine was.

The Arabs also conquered the Persian empire and subsequently half of the 
world.

So how about locating the 'promised land' in Arabia ?

And how about assuming, that the Arabs have descended from the biblical 
Jews?

'Semite' would fit to Arabs, but actually not to 'Ashenazim'.

Also the Arabic language and the way of writing is quite close to Hebrew.

And, last but not least, there are similarities in the Koran and the 
bible, which would be a hint, that the Koran is actually based on older 
traditions.

False. It is deduced from sites such as Athens and Mykenai that
Proto-geometric Ware is from a later time tnan Late Helladic
III C Ware, the basis of the deduction being that it is found
in a higher layer than the LH III C War.

That deduction is presented to students and the public alike
as fact.

It is further deduced that the Proto-geometric Ware found
mingled with LH III c Ware at Pylos is "intrusions", the
basis of the deduction being the "known fact" that
Proto-geometric is later than LH III C.

That deduction too is presented to students and the public
alike as fact.

History is very much a science.

Just because it is not a material science does not mean it is not a 
science.  Historians are utterly reliant on hard evidence.  They use all 
manner of scientific techniques, from carbon dating to statistics.

As is the fact that they disagree -- often violently -- on the exact 
composition and meaning of their sacred scripts.

And communal.  Executing a transgressor is one thing, but making the 
entire community participate takes it to a whole other level.

Concerning pork, while there is a risk of disease, the same applies to 
all foodstuffs.  Unlike other domesticated animals, though, pigs do have 
the serious advantage that they turn refuse into meat.

Yes, that's the whole fucking point. The whole community has to be 
guilty. It's basic practice with tyrannies.

It's such a universal thing that it made its way in the Hostel movies, 
where the people who paid for the chance to do anything they want to 
innocent people were not allowed to leave until they had killed someone.

Why do you call it a disadvantage?  I have known an Air Force guy who
witnessed a stoning in Saudi Arabia; he reports that the participants,
the entire population of the village where the adultery took place,
were enthusiastic.  According to their beliefs, they were performing a
valuable community service.  I am sure you would not wish to hamper
their religious expression.

Merely unevidenced opinion.
Beliefs, opinions and 'holy' books are NOT evidence.
And, if true, it makes the bible wrong.

Religious scripts cannot be wrong, since they do not pretend to be true.

So the bible is not a book about real history, even if it refers to 
historic events.

E.g. Eva was not made from the rib of her husband Adam.

The story has to be understood in a more symbolic way.


Such YouTube videos of amateurs  about own findings, on the other hand, 
attempt to be true, but are often not.

So if someone finds something interesting somewhere remote, than the 
best strategy would be, to research this place independently and with 
more professional means.

But I would doubt, that the Saudis have great interest in research of 
early Jewish remains in their country.

Most likely they would try to divert attention from such places and 
would not allow access to them.

You appear to have a very different group of religionists im
Deutschland than we have in the US.  Ours are constantly thundering
the Bible is the inerrant Word of Gawd.  You don't get much truthier
than the inerrant Word of Gawd.

So they shift from preaching a factual truth to a metaphorical truth.

Either way, they still insist that they hold the truth.

Ehhh..Arianism believed Jesus was a god too, the son of God, but not God and subordinate to God. Less monotheist than Christianity, at least their Trinity has the doubletalk claiming it's all the same God, Arianism thinks it's different gods. But yeah, it may be a source for Islam. They all have multiple gods, such as the devil-god. Only the historical Jesus had only One God.

And yeah, he was almost certainly crucified. About half of his words, in the Christian Bible or historical sources would get you instantly crucified by the Romans. Historical fact. Judas Thomas, his twin brother went to India, he wasn't substituted in his place.

Big flaw in this story.
There were no Hebrew slaves in Egypt.

Since Jews were never slaves in Egypt, there's no need to read any 
further.

Moses & The Queen of Sheba 3:06
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqtJsotUU4s

The Queen of Sheba was the Empress of Ethiopia who married the Egyptian 
(Tut-)Moses.

They ruled a kingdom, which also contained the former people of Ethiopia 
(which were Jewish).

The male line of Egyptian Sun worship then merged with monotheism in the 
female line (Judaism).

So the original Jews must have been black people like today Ethiopians.

If you call the citizens of that time 'slaves' is actually a question 
for debate.

Where's your evidence that Jews were ever slaves in Egypt? That line of 
nonsense is not evidence.

Sorry, but my knowledge of the Bible is only fragmentary.

But as far as I know the Jews had to flee from Egypt. This escape was 
possible because the Red Sea split apart and drowned the prosecuting 
Egyptians.

The Jews came to Egypt, because they were give to the Pharao as kind of 
tribute. Since it was the Queen of Sheba, who gave them to the Pharao, 
the Jews had to stem from her kingdom (->Ethiopia).

So original Jews would have been 'black'.
