Care to supply some support and dates for this? History is interesting and
there are a lot of myths out there. But there needs to be some support for
the challenge. There is of course a whole nuther (but related) issue of how
much non arab blood is in the Arab and where did the various 'foundation'
breeds separate from common ancestry to become distinct breeds.

And whatever the answer to the original statement, the arab blood (if any)
is very ancient and probably substantially different from the modern arab.
Would an Arab from 1400 even be recognizable as an Arab today. Hell, the
show ring Arabs are barely recognizable compared to Arabs of 1900.
