Atlas, in the first post of the topic called "
Islam and its History and Impact of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)", Yukapuka says:
4. Sabines. They worshipped the stars.
(I assumed Yukapuka meant Sabians)
So that's where I got the star worship from. What you say is likely more correct than Yukapuka's assertions, but because they said the Sabians worship stars I pointed out what the Quran says about them. I have no idea where this person got the idea that they worship stars (but they did cite some history books) so you'll have to raise it with them; I was merely commenting on their claims.
In my own research I did come across some "Christians" who live in Iraq today who claim to be Sabians. However, I'm not sure how similar they are to the Sabians the Quran asserts existed in modern day Yemen. Funnily enough, if I remember rightly, the Sharia says Christians are polytheists whereas the Quran gives them the distinction of being "people of the book" (i.e. not polytheists).
