Re: Sayyid
I believe you are right. However, at the very least, it could tell us if all these Sayyids are really descendants of a single ancestor and who are fakes lol. Also, genetic testing on Sayyids could shed light on the paternal ancestory of Ali and thus the prophet p. Did you know the dead sea scrolls and the bible suggest that the last prophet (after Jesus) would be a descendant of Alay Imran? Therefore, it would be interesting to me, to see if those who claim to be descendants of Alay Imran among the Bani Israel, share a recent common ancestor with the Sayyids. This is ofcourse just a personal interest of mine. An outcome of several years of studying the bible for signs of Mohammad in it.
