[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kem-Au: [b] Could you please expand on this? I'm not familiar with any of it, particularly the excesses of Dhu Nawas.[/b][/QUOTE] In a nutshell the Arabian population of the 6th century were mostly either traditional, Jewish, or Christian. Dhu Nuwas was a Yemini who converted to Judaism and like many new proselytes was over zealous and persecuted the Christian elements. The Byzantines and the Abyssinian Coptics came to the aid of their Arab coreligionists with the Abyssinians attaining hegemony over the peninsula. At some point in time the Abyssinian Coptics decided to overthrow the site of the Traditionalists at Mecca where the Qa`aba housed their idols. Elephants were the tanks of those days and when an elephant mysteriously failed to obey its mahout it made a great impression on the Arabs who defeated the Abyssinians regaining their sovereignty.
