I also consider Solomon to have been a Jewish king BUT according to Islam he was a muslim prophet - the same was Moses, Jesus, Abraham etc. According to Islamic sources it is the original religion of Adam, not something originating with Mohammad. I really don't want to go into theological matters on who is "correct" on this (not being Muslim myself).
I leave this discussion now because I think I have made my point, either you follow the academic approach or the "popular" approach to evaluate sources to solve this issue.

Michael

PS I was wrong above on Graham, actually he is found on Google Scholar. He is the same Graham that has published several scholarly articles on biochemistry and molecular biology. Magic etc. seems to be his hobby and the articles he has written on this subject are published in magical organization's newsletters etc.

David and Michael, I have no wish to engage in your discussion here, I just want to point out that David is also a prophet or rasul according to the Quran.

Take care guys! - Thor

In Islamic sources (Quran and authentic sunnah) there are no symbols. The star of David was adopted by some Muslim peoples but it has no reference as far as I know in any of the sources.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. I am not looking to get into a discussion of religion here for sure...

Best to keep that out of the discussion. But i am aware that all these biblical characters are also considered prophets in Islam.

Still not convinced that this particular issue can be solved either by the academic or popular approach.
