Was The Prophet Mohamed a Pale
Skinned Arab?
Part 2
Why are most Arabs today fair skinned and straight haired as
opposed to the original black skinned and kinky haired?

Most people today do not believe that the original Arabs were a dark skinned
people, and when I say dark skinned I mean dark as in what you would today
call a ‘black person’….an ‘African’….a ‘negro’.
Most people believe the ancient Arabs had a complexion no darker than that of
a well tanned Mediterranean person. They also believe that the ancient Arabs
had lank hair and prominent, hooked noses. This misconception becomes
apparent when you see films that are supposed to depict Arabs in a historical
light. Anyone shown as dark skinned is an ‘African’ or a slave.
This misconception becomes apparent on a daily basis because we have
millions of people today who now refer to themselves as Arabs who DO NOT fit
the description of the Arabs of the ancient past who were described to detail
within eye witness accounts as well as describing themselves.
