#2 Aren't textbooks supposed to be reviewed for accuracy? And NOT by the publisher?

I wonder what other 'mistakes' are in there. Does anyone know of this 'guide'?

#3 Just because it never happened doesn't make it wrong. I mean we can all agree that a Muslim civilization would have been a good thing in North America. I'm thinking of our own prophet. Is that not seething Infidel?

#4 Abu:

Sorry, but that evidence is clearly non-Muslim in nature.

There was nothing in that link which blamed the Jews.

#5 I thought that the Native-Americans hunted wild boar. Wouldn't that put a chink into the argument.

#10 muck4doo - I stand corrected!

But there must be some kin-of-a-pig, native to North America, that the locals encountered, which would make my point valid.

I would say Peccary, a pig cousin, but I understand the meat is not very good.

#11 I prefer the Mormon teaching that native Americans (NAs) descend from the ten lost tribes of Israel. But neither religion explains why most NAs love their pork rinds and salt pork products. One noted Osage Indian chief was even named Bacon Rind . The only thing the Osages and Arabs have in common is that they both got rich from oil.
