What's with all the Arabic in the signitures?

What's with all the Arabic in many people's signitures? Is it some new trend I missed out on? Please explain

 

[Darkdd]

Its just quotes from the bible in Arabic.

 

[twylight]

It's 'cool' and 'unique'.

 

[miba2007]

Bible quotes in Arabic? That seems a bit contradictory.

 

[logansoldcigar]

why? theres a pretty good chance that Jesus was arabic, not caucasian

Not really.

I think it would be more than a good chance he was brown.

na he wasnt. he was a jew. It'd make more sense if the quotes were in Hebrew or Latin.

Judaism is not a race,its a religion.

 

[miba2007]

Well how come Jewish people look different from Arabs?

 

[Darkdd]

Todays Jewish people look different from Arabic people because of migration to cooler climates and mixing with caucasians.Jewish people from Jesus' time used to look like most Arabic people do today.

On the one hand, the Jewish people are a nation in the same sense as the Greeks or the Italians or the Japanese. Jewish history goes back some 4,000 years to Abraham, who moved to the land of Canaan (what is now Israel) form Ur (usually believed to have been the ancient city of Ur in Mesopotamia, in what is now Iraq.) Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac. Isaac had two sons named Jacob and Esau. The Jewish people are ultimately the descendants of Jacob, also called Israel. Since these are actual people, there is such a thing as "Jewish blood" if by that you mean is there such a thing as being biologically Jewish.

What am I saying.Many Jewish people in Israel look 'arabic' to this day.

 

[miba2007]

But still Jesus would have been part of the original jewish breed that was different then the arabs in the surrounding areas. He may have 'looked' similiar by an ignorant eye by their are differences.

 

[Darkdd]

No i'm no disputing that Jewish people have Jewish traits,i'm just saying that it is not a 'race' persay.

 

[miba2007]

then what do you classify those people as instead?

 

[Darkdd]

Caucasian.

Read this.

 

[miba2007]

Caucasian.

But that contradicts you other post saying that they look the way they are because they mix with caucasians. If they were mixing with caucasians, wouldnt they stay the same?

From wikipedia -

Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים, Yehudim; Yiddish: ייִדן, Yiden) are followers of Judaism or, more generally, members of the Jewish people (also known as the Jewish nation, or the Children of Israel), an ethno-religious group descended from the ancient Israelites and from converts who joined their religion.

 

[Darkdd]

Modern day Jews tend to be mainly caucasian,with some west asian traits.

 

[miba2007]

Then how come I can tell the difference between a Jewish person, and Caucasian person if they are both caucasian?

 

[arachnid-guy]

I sense the mods coming.....

come on lads...let's not fight. Jesus was jesus...end of story. He's universal to everyone's interpretation of him...brown, white....everyone's so PC these days..

 

[Malice]

[miba2007]
