Yeah I think general summaries are ok as long as they are actual summaries of multiple authors aren t just mere repetitions of the author s statement and don t elongate the paragraph more unnecessarily Also I ll like to point out these mistakes in your comment 2 per Eliade approximative understanding partly of apparently non Arabian rites so not much Eildae never says it was non Arabian She s talking about Monophysite rites and Monophysite was the largest branch of Christianity in Arabia 3 per Watt details that may be surmised by close analysis Muhammad s life He also argues that these verses might be attacking Christian heresies rather than orthodox beliefs Also in the final I ll like to say again the subject of the article isn t about Quran and it s historicity and interpretations So adding more and more unnecessary arguments and interpretations makes the paragraph stray too far from the topic and unnecessarily elongates the paragraph with needless irrelevant text
