It's obvious by his language that our author has taken a stance against the validity of Scripture. He himself was raised Jewish and describes himself as one who left the faith. Instead of simply commenting scientifically on his genetic study, he throws in words that show his extreme distaste for most of the historical teachings.
While looking at the history of Judaism, Entine examines Jews from Spain, Africa, and Germany, trying to determine if they are indeed descended from the Israelites of the Bible. The German Jews, some have claimed, are actually descended from Jewish converts in Khazaria (Russia/Turkey), making them Slavic, not Semitic. DNA evidence can't disprove or confirm this, however.
Side note: Muhammed is formally named Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim.
