[quote=Anonymous]Ok PP, you got to my inner nerd by saying that the Ebionites influenced the Nestorians.  I couldn't make some of your links work, but I found this blog, which relies on a book I haven't looked up so I have no idea of the quality of scholarship:

http://staringattheview.blogspot.com/2010/10/ebionites-muhammad-and-quran.html

This maintains that the guardian of Mohammed (who was an orphan), was the leader of the Ebionite community in Mecca and was grooming him to follow him as leader.  Since the Ebionites did not believe Jesus was God, the idea of Mohammed as a prophet was not heretical to an Ebionite.  It is kind of fascinating and one could view Islam as a latter day Ebionism.

In turn, you could view Ebionism as either a Jewish heresy or a Christian heresy and, thus, Islam itself as either of those,  I do know that respectable scholars have written how one could view Islam that way.  What this blog does (I presume based on the book cited) is provide the link from Islam to Judasim and Christianity through the Ebionites.

Maybe this is why OP is so fascinated by the Ebionites and their rejection of the trinity.
