    Shaddel, Al-Jallad, Putten, and a host of other scholars, have responded to the objections raised against the authenticity of the Zuhayr inscription. Please refer back to them for further information.


    As Kerr has not yet published something... (and he will do it in German... as he usually does since he is in Germany)

    Then it seems it will be his first publication in English regarding Islam since he was fired from his Canadian University (following his letter to the Education Minister, regarding (?) the ruined education system of his country -it seems that it was the main topic..)

    Kerr, at lest to my knowledge, has highlighted four points that, according to him, raises some questions about the inscription, at least a part of it. The four points are:

    But as I noted, the main argument is that there arw photographs from the 70s without the main inscription. To be fair, I have an explanation for the photographs.



    I don't understand. I thought the inscription was found in 1999 ; how can it be that there are pictures from the 70's ? Something doesn't sound right here.

    Not sure when its found, but the whole point is that there are older photographs of it without the main inscription.

    What are the explanations ?

    And I checked the Hoyland article about it and it clearly states that this inscription was found in 1999. You cannot have pictures from the 70's , maybe a confusion with another inscription ?

    Then, as I said, there are photos dating from the 70s without the main inscription. Here is an explanation of this strange phenomenon:

    Those doubting the authenticity of the inscription simply got the chronology of the pictures wrong, and that the issue of chronology was a red herring anyway. Furthermore, the photographs were the bottom inscription is sometimes absent were photo shopped. This was even brought to Lamsiah's attention concerning the pictures he had received from Kerr.

    The photograph released by UNESCO and islamic-awareness.org was taken by Laïla Nehmé. The lower text present in the original photograph was digitally removed by UNESCO for the sake of clarification.

    Going back to my explanation (not really my explanation, but my summary) of the photographs, there are some additional problems with the hypothesis put forth by Kerr and co that I am yet to provide, also relating to their claims about the photographs.

    canaaniteshift  - You asked why this inscription is considered to be so important. Well, it supposedly justifies a hijazid locality for the origins of Islam. That is one thing. Another thing is that is attests the historicity of the second caliph Umar, since the date on the inscription is the same year Umar is said to have died. .


    OK for the synching of the historical figure of Omar, who is mentioned in outside sources, and the Islamic narrative regarding him, at least with the date. The hijazi locality doesn't seem to be as significant because by this time the Arabs had even reached Egypt. Although if it supports the narrative, then that gives further credence to the story as whole I suppose. What does this group think of the Othman inscription by Qays the scribe?

    Altara, nobody is trying to undermine Christian influence on early Islam by stating the Arabic script comes from the Nabataean, and I suppose it is important write it in full with you, the Nabataean Aramaic script. In fact, all early Arabic inscriptions are Christian - Jallad makes this point very clear. He states that the epigraphic evidence proves that Arabic script and language were considered appropriate ways of expressing Christian identity in pre-Islamic times and goes on that from the epigraphic record there is no evidence for paganism in the 6th century. It does not seem to be an effort to deny ARamaic or Christianity but to identify WHICH Aramaic and WHICH christianity.

    Inscriptions:

    I think the position must be as it is for Christian archeology, the finder needs to prove it is authentic. Critical questions shouldn't be off limits but welcomed. All data must be available to check it out.

    We know from Christian/biblical finds that the assumption of innocence is often wrong. Why would it be different for Islamic finds?
