"B) You have not a shred of evidence to support the idea that NO Arab Muslims colonized Judea during the Arab Muslim expansion EXACTLY as referenced, also many times. Which you seem desperate to deny once again."
The fact that Arabia, a desert, could support only a tiny population makes it clear that there could not have been many Arabians able to settle any of the conquered lands. As all historians have noted, the Arabians were the leaders that administered the conquered lands the bulk of the troops were Christian converts. The fact is, the Arabians did not have much of a genetic impact anywhere they conquered because of their small numbers. Sicily was ruled by Arabs for as the Emirate of Sicily for nearly 3 centuries Spain for even longer and the Arabian genetic influence is pretty minimal. Why would it be any different in Palestine which was far less attractive to settle than Spain or Sicily.
For some perspective, all of Arabia, prior to the discovery of oil 1938, had a population of less than 2 million people. How many people do you suppose lived in Arabia in the year 650 AD?
Think logically.
