Very interesting documentary on how Christianity is based on various near eastern pagan religions. Or is it just "coincidental similarities"? worth watching.

You can find similarities between just about any religion if you want to.
I've seen Christianity compared to everything from Buddhism to Indo-European paganism

The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth.
For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
- Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596).

The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation.
- Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature

Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation.

I agree. I found similarities between Celtic, Germanic old pagan religions on one side, and Islam on another. If this does not prove it, then...

It is often admitted that when you research into something with the conscious (or subconscious) intention to find one particular link, you end up finding it in the more strange places.

In other words, if you feel an inner need to find a link of Islam with ancient European religions, you'll jump to your own conclusions almost unconsciously only because that is your subconscious desire.

Does it make sense to you, Hohenheim?

You are right, but still, I found it. I'm not trying to find just links between Indo-European religions and Islam, I'm trying to find links between I-E religions and all Abrahamic one. This is the main task. But I'm also interested in old African and American mythology. And so far I can see, they all share a common base, no matter Celts, Arabs, Cherokee or Ewe. I do it for the purpose to figure out what the first religion of humankind was alike (I have my own theory). This is a life task for me, and I'm studying it for 6 months until now.
