	Rebuttals to Islamic Awareness : Is The Qur'an's Story Of Solomon & Sheba From The Jewish Targum?
		The MSH writers have not provided any evidence to back their hypothesis that the origins of the Targum of Esther or that the legend of the Queen of Sheba, common to the Targum of Esther and the Qur'an, are post-Islamic.
		A number of authorities link the legend of the Queen of Sheba to a famous early Jewish writer called Josephus who lived in the 1st century CE and connect the legend as originating in Arabia or Greece prior to that time.
		It seems that the MSH writers are not too keen on their readers knowing about the parallels in Josephus or the claimed influence his writings may have had on Jewish tradition which appears to have found its way into the Qur'an.
