Quote:I've been mulling over a theory lately, could it be that Islam has it's origins what would now be considered Syria/Lebanon?

Didn't Tom Holland write an entire book on this very subject? If I remember rightly, In The Shadow of the Sword is the book that discusses this. Also, you can watch a documentary featuring him, Islam - The Untold Story, by visiting the below link.

(in the description of the video you can find links to a talk he did about the documentary)
