Petikan artikel Suleiman Mourad - link:
The mania around Hagarism (Crone & Cook 1977) dissipated
faster than its meteoric rise, when scholars realized its questionable
and manipulative methodology and the double standards applied
of doubting the Islamic narratives and blindly trusting alternative
narratives(#). The failure of Hagarism opened the door to others to try
their luck, ranging from the wild (e.g., Yehuda Nevo and his fantastical
theory of the emergence of Islam in the Negev in Palestine) to the
spectacular (Stephen Shoemaker’s theory of Islam as a movement of
urgent eschatological belief).

(London: I.B. Tauris, 1991), 84–85.

the Arab State (Amherst, NY: Prometheus Books, 2003).
