but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
Its funny how the Quran is put together, its almost as if Mo was showing off all his knowledge, however irrelevent, in one book to make it sound Holy & interesting.
Take the above quote for example, Mo is trying to make up a story and trying to stir Muslim tension & angst over Jews.
So make out these Jews are sneaky & in hiding, oh I know that there is a tree in Israel called the gharqad tree, put the 2 together and youve got a story capable of generating interest amongst most half-witted 3 year olds.
