If you have reason to doubt Muhammed was white, then what's your proof?

This whole thing reminds me of the sorts of people who try and argue for biblical figures being either "white" or "black" based on words in the Bible...
If you reread @ViaCrucis in post #18 you'll understand that the concept of 'whiteness' you are using is peculiar to English usage. For instance, the term 'white man' suggests far more than complexion colour. The term embodies a more complex cultural understanding of status and ethnicity. 'White' typically also includes the concept of a Caucasian ethnic type.If you have reason to doubt Muhammed was white, then what's your proof?

As you know, we're not dealing with Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, but rather Arabic written in the seventh or later centuries, which are much more recent than the Hebrew texts of the Bible.
So, what's the solid basis, if any, that would cause us to think there is some parallel with what you said about other texts and literary works and the writings of islam?
