Catholic scholarship and Aramaic

[Paul Younan]

All in all, Syriac and Hebrew has nothing over classical Arabic.

Heheheh.

Akhi bar-Khela, while the Arabs who were descendant from Ishmael were eating lizards in the desert of Arabia....their Semitic ancestors of Mesopotamia and the Levant were building half of the world's civilization as we know it today. While these civilizations were creating complex literature, science and advanced mathematics including geometry and calculus.....lizard-eating Arabs were still counting on their fingers.....when their hands were free from picking lice off each other's backs.

Before Abraham~Ibrahim was even born (let alone Ishmael and Iskhaaq), the oldest Semitic language (oral and written) was Akkadian. We are talking about thousands of years before Abraham.

For all of the "Arabic" idioms in the Quran, see:
