Psychonaut, thank you for your insight. Hanif was always an odd word for me. Pagan =/= Islam. And the burden of proof is on the Muhammadans to prove that Israelites did not drink alcohol. If, as is claimed, there was a lost version of the Bible which agreed with the Quran then it should follow that Jews would not have drunk alcohol.
Petra is in Jordan and was the Qibla of many early Mosques. The reason I mentioned Lebanon is the Valley of Bakka, because Bakka is used in the Quran to refer to Mecca once or twice.
