[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 77570093, member: 225709"] If you want to know the skin tone of the ancient Jews, you could always read their history book, what we call the Old Testament. And without knowing any science I would have surmised that they share genetics from the story of Issac and Ishmael. If you read the New Testament, you'll know that there were Arabs present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, but they were not the dominant population. And if you read the Islamic hadiths, you'll discover that Muhammad was a very white man, much praised for his whiteness. Here's a photo of his 34th grandson: [ATTACH type="full"]343017[/ATTACH] So to suggest that Jesus couldn't be fair-skinned is against the evidence. Having said that, I should also mention that I don't much care for artwork which portrays Jesus looking like a white-skinned rock star. It's not a part of my church's tradition, which usually does portray him as a little darker skinned. One last quibble: there's no such thing as a Palestinian. [/QUOTE]
