re: >ridge>>semite>> eric/anna/dian
If one reads the article posted by irjones it states the that semites included Syrians, Assysirians, Chaldeans, Jews, Babylonians (Iraqis) and others. I do not accept that the arabs stemmed from only from father nor that those of the jewish faith did either. The theory does not holder water - like a bucket with one hundred holes.
The article idicates that all the tribes of the middle east were semites. What I want to know is when and why did the arab world stop refering to itself as semitic. Anybody?
