The "Balaam and Other Gods" section of the article concludes, "McCarter elaborates that she is to cover the sky and reduce the world to complete darkness." What does this refer to? Either some commentator named McCarter has been cut out of the rest of the article (and even then the sentence is written in a confusing manner), or someone thought it was funny to give the goddess a Scottish name. If it's the former, someone please fill in the rest of the story. --MRH, April 2, 2007 |

Quranic Verse [7:175-176], not taking about Balaam
Some Imams and scholars say it is the false prophet named Balaam mentioned in the bible [book of Numbers 22] ,but that is the scholars point of views .The Fact is there is NO ONE Hadith of (Muhammad) himself says that, Balaam exist let alone to recite his story, knowing the fact that the verse Start with {And recite (O Muhammad) to them the story of [him]} an order to to keep telling them a bout him.
This Man in Verse [7:175-176] is not Balaam.86.145.71.200 11:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
How is this?
"This motif is completely dissimilar to the Biblical tradition. According to Olrik, therefore, an identity of the two is impossible despite the identical names. [§147, 149] How is a conclusion of Olrik (1922) dismissing this 1967 discovery? Perhaps we're simply in denial. --Wetman 19:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
