Re: Ja:hili:ya

The term ?al-Ja:hili:ya is referred to the pre-Islamic paganism or a
state of of ignorance. The three core consonants JHL refer to the state
of not knowing. Arabs claim it was called ?al-Ja:hili:ya because they
were ignorant of Islam and not because the of their ignorance in
general. This explanation doesn't seem convincing to me. Any ideas.

Well, I've always been convinced that's the case. What is there about that
explanation, Jamshid, that "doesn't seem convincing"?
And what evidence do you have (convincing or otherwise) that it referred to
a condition of ignorance in general??
