Adonis Diaries

A believable narrative of how the “Arabic/Islamic” empire was created, expanded and declined.

Have you stumbled on a version of the Koran from the period of Caliph Omar Bin Khattab (who ruled 10 years)? Or from Caliph Othman Bin Affan (ruled 18 years), or from the Umayyad dynasty (ruled 100 years)?

Heck, have you stumbled on any book/documents from the Umayyad dynasty?

In the 100 years of the Umayyad dynasty, the Syrian scholars (who mastered at least 4 languages of among Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Syria and Arabic) translated all the available “literature” in the Greek and Latin languages, from Syriac into Arabic. (When I use Syria, I include the current created States of Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan)

In one of my articles, I posited that without these translations, the Greek literature would have vanished into thin air, long time ago.

Where all these sources disappeared? Are they hidden in any cave, any ruins…?

Most possibly, it was the Abbasid Dynasty that made sure Not to leave any trace of the Umayyad dynasty, in books, documents or “civilization”. They did burn/destroy all these sources and forbade the copying and dissemination throughout the “Islamic Empire”.

This an semi-abridged narrative of Samir Hamati who is posting serial articles on the genesis of Islam and the establishment of the “Arabic/Islamic” empire.

According to Hamati, there were No books or documents still existing on the Koran, Hadith, or narrative of the period for 200 years, until the Abbasid dynasty took over and re-edited the Koran according to their belief system, a Koran that is currently adopted, but mostly the Hadith…

For centuries, the Middle East was occupied by two empires: Byzantium and the Sassanid/Farisi empires. the demarcation line was the Euphrates River, but they occasionally went to wars, expanded, re-shrank…

The two empires subsidized 3 tribes to be the buffer zones and guard the trade routes and be links for swapping “pieces of intelligence” and occasionally play as mercenaries in small military skirmishes.

In one of my posts on these subject matters I claimed that these 3 powerful tribes played the role of “transmission mechanism” for sharing customs, traditions and “knowledge” of the 2 empires.

The 3 tribes were:

1) The Ghassasinat who settled in Houran (south-east of actual Syria) and the northern region of Jordan. they were the allies of Byzantium

2) The Manazirat who settled in the triangle borders of current Syria, Iraq and Jordan. They were allied to the Sassanid empire

3) the Kuraich who settled in south Jordan and the northern part of the Arabic peninsula and were one of the main power tribes of the Nabatayen State (Petra being the capital). Prophet Muhamad was of one of this tribe before part of the Kuraich branch was permitted to move to Medina and then to Mecca.

Mind you that all these tribes believed in “heretic” Christian/Jewish sects as labeled by Byzantium since they refused the State Christian Orthodox religion and were labeled the “Monophysic“(Jesus is plainly a prophet and Not a God) (More details in the notes)

Muawiyat was the main leader of the Ghassasinat when Muhamad was trying to spread his brand of Christian/Jewish sect that was called Islam.

Elie Abu Trab, later nicknamed Ali, was the leader of the Manazirat and occupied Kufa and southern Iraq.

Muhamad expanded into Hijaz and started his animosity against Mu3awiyat by robbing his caravan on what is called the Bader razzia war.

Mu3awiyat reacted by vanquishing Muhamad in the war of Ohod, lead by Khaled Bin Walid.

A tacit truce allowed Muhamad to establish a new City-State in Madina (Yathreb) with its own institutions and laws.

Later, Muhamad launched two campaigns on the borders of Syria within Byzantium but was defeated by the support of Mu3awiyat to Byzantium garrisons.

The first Caliph Abu Baker and the second Omar Bin Khattab were doing their best to chastise the tribes throughout the Peninsula, who reneged on their oath and reunite them under the banner of Islam. (Many of those tribes were skin deep believer in Islam and frequently rebelled)

Byzantium emperor Heraclius had retook all the lands (Syria and Egypt) that the Sassanid had conquered and forced the Sassanid to sign a “humiliating” deal.

Apparently, Heraclius got tired of the constant wars in the Near-East and decided to let Mu3awiyat control Syria and pay the tribute, but left a few garrisons in the main cities and the strategic routes.

After Heraclius died in 641, Mu3awiyat freed himself from the deal and stopped paying the tribute and started expanding his territory.

Mu3awiyat launched a military campaign and occupied Egypt in 642 by defeating the Byzantium army that fled by the sea. He also conquered Cyprus in 649 and marched toward Constantinople but failed in his attempt.

After the death of Muhamad, Mu3awiyat installed Othman Bin Affan as third Caliph in Medina. This caliph was assassinated in his modern great compound in Medina.

(The narrative is that Aicha/Aisha, the youngest and most beloved wife, pointed the blame on Ali for this assassination and she was coaxed by Al Zubeir, the leader of Kureich in Mecca, into launching an army against Ali of what is called the “War of the Camels“, the first serious civil war among the Muslims. She was defeated and Ali let her return to Medinat)

Previous to this war, Mu3awiyat had made a deal with Ali at the battle of Soffin so that the Muslims should Not wage military campaign among themselves.

After Ali was assassinated in 661, the son of Mu3awiyat, Yazid occupied Kufa and Iraq.

(According to the narrative of the Shi3a sect, Hussein, the second son of Ali made a deal with Mu3awiyat to become the Caliph after his death. Apparently, the son of Mu3awiyat did Not see it that way. Hussein lost the battle and was decapitated in the battle field.

At Achoura, the Shiaa perform the flagellation on themselves and many shed blood from their head, as a ceremony of mourning Hussein, their most veneered Imam. Most probably, the narrative was manufactured by the Abbasid dynasty to let Islamic sects to acquire a visceral hate for the Umayyad dynasty))

One of the Umayyad Caliph Abdel Malak launched a military campaign on Mecca, lead by Hajaj Bin Youssef, and used catapults on the Kaaba. Al Zubeir was killed and Al Hijaz surrendered to the Umayyad

Heck, have you stumbled on any book/documents from the Umayyad dynasty?

In these 100 years, the Syrian scholars (who mastered at least 4 languages of among Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Syria and Arabic) translated all the available “literature” in the Greek and Latin languages, from Syriac into Arabic. (When I use Syria, I include the current created States of Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan)

Most possibly, it was the Abbasid Dynasty that made sure Not to leave any trace of the Umayyad dynasty, in books, documents or “civilization”. They did burn all these sources and forbade the copying and dissemination throughout the “Islamic Empire”.

This Abbasid empire was the worst period in civilization and knowledge.

The Roman Catholic Church behaved similarly to the Abbasid political system with respect to rational thinking during Europe Middle-Age for over 500 years.

The Koran was re-written to suit the Abbasid belief system, and they encourage the publishing and dissemination of Hadith that were compounded in their period.

Hadith? How Prophet Muhamad behaved and said and Not included in the Koran.

Basically a collection of faked information and fabricated stories and myths that Islam relied upon henceforth.

Yes, people love stories about their “heroes” and are ready to believe every bits of them.

The Abbasid prepared themselves for the overthrow of Umayyad dynasty for 80 years, the first 40 years in hiding and another 40 years by spreading their belief system.

After they succeeded with the support of the Persians of Khorasan, they needed another 10 years to vanquish their “enemy”. They finally managed to exterminate the descended of the Umayyad dynasty in a dinner where they were invited to attend.

Very few escaped this genocide, and one of them (Abed Rahman Bin Muawiyat fled and established an Umayyad dynasty in Andalusia (Spain)

The Abbasid dynasty attacked any free interpretation of the Koran and obstructed any development of scientific and rational thinking.

All that was carried out was just copying what were permitted to be spread.

In one of my articles I posited that 1,000 years of steady civilization was blocked by defeating the 2 empires of Byzantium and the Sassanid.

The Abbasid extremist tendencies spread to North Africa and divided Andalusia into small fiefdoms that permitted Catholic Spain to dismantle this flourishing empire

Whatever scientific breakthrough and philosophical texts that were published…they were done in the confine of the Islamic empire, like in Iran, Afghanistan and Andalusia…as the empire declined and was controlled by various warrior type tribes

Note 1:

Mind you that all these tribes believed in “heretic” Christian/Jewish sects as labeled by Byzantium since they refused the Empire State imposed Christian Orthodox religion. These heretic sects were labeled the “Monophysist”(Jesus is plainly a prophet and Not a God)

Those heretic sects called themselves “Nassatra” (Nazarene) were Jesus was claimed to have lived. These sects adopted (copy-pasted) the Jewish mythical narratives and many of their customs and Jesus was their latest prophet.

These tribes were the “First Crusaders“, 300 years before the Western crusaders, since they wanted to re-capture and occupy Jerusalem and free this city from the Orthodox sect.

These sects discriminated heavily against the female genders and did Not consider women to be at a par and the Virgin Mary was Not even mentioned in their Books. Muhamad changed this perspective and set up Mary on a high pedestal to be revered.

My conjecture is that Muhamad was tacitly very attached to 3 women goddesses that were adored throughout the peninsula, and thus Mary was the symbolic representative for great women.

Note 2: I conjecture that Mu3awiyat became Muslim for 3 reasons:

1. The recurring razzia adventures on Syria by the Tribes in the Peninsula will diminish
2. There are No major differences between the Nassara and Islam (mostly a copy/paste)
3. And mostly, Mu3awiyat will enjoy massive recruits into his army with Muslims, paid cheaply and ready to fight valiantly against Infidels.
