I have a theory to discuss about the possibility of Jesus and Muhammad both being of the same ethnic group or at the very least similar ones. To do this I need to prove that both Jesus and Muhammad were the same race (that being broad white). Note that I'm not religious and this is just a theory. Please be open minded as this is a work in progress theory.
Now, why is Jesus being born in Galilee so important? Because Galilee was known for having an Indo european population. All over Europe and the middle east there were celtic tribes with the prefix "gal". GAL-edones in Scotland, GAEls in Ireland, GALicians in spain, GAULs in france, GAL-ations in turkey. This would mean that GALilee is celtic, GALileans in Northern Palestine. If Jesus was from Galilee (proven in the first paragraph), he would've been Celtic white with possibly a little bit darker skin to make up for the sun but not too dark.
So we've established what Jesus was, now let's go on to Muhammad
There are all kinds of verses about how Muhammad was pale. So pale that it drew attention from other arabs. With that being said, we also know from his descendants.
This is muhammad's 34th grandson. Through this protected bloodline of what used to be caliphs this is probably the closest thing we can see to the real deal. Looks a bit light doesn't he? Not "white" but also whiter then the average arab. He wouldn't look very out of the ordinary if he was in say...Ireland? With the celts? And that's what leads us to the final GIGA THEORY.
PART 1: JESUS
Jesus was born in Galilee. "jesus was born in bethleham!" you may ask, but actually there was a Bethlehem of the Galilee, which is probably what the bible meant. To back up this claim there is a story in the bible of Joseph and Mary (Mary being 9 months pregnant) going to Bethlehem of Judea from Nazareth to be counted in the roman census. They would have had to travel 175 Kilometers (46 miles) to get there. How would a 9 months pregnant woman with a donkey travel 46 miles? It's simply more plausible that instead they traveled 7 kilometers, or 4 miles instead, which is the distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem of the Galilee. The second evidence of Jesus being from Galilee is that Mary is from Tzippori and Joseph is from Bethlehem of Judea, which are incredibly far away from eachother. Especially for the ancient world. However bethlehem of the Galileee and Tzippori are very close. It's much more plausible for them to meet as Mary and joseph's birth places are closer together.Now, why is Jesus being born in Galilee so important?

PART 2: MUHAMMAD
Muhammad is in many ways easier to prove his race. While we don't know completely we have 2 pieces of evidence: His descendants and the Quran.

PART 3: THE GIGA THEORY
The conslusions I have come up with, after seeing both individuals described similarly and matching them up, is that Muhammad and Jesus were both Indo European in some form or fashion, and more specifically both were probably Celtic. This part by far has the most "shaky" evidence but it really isn't that crazy. 2 of the people who created the largest Abrahamic religions on earth happening to be related is truly not that weird. It could also explain why in the Qur'an Jesus was considered a prophet and both religions are incredibly similar in their raw guidelines and restrictions. These 2 religions are similar because both people were apart of the same broad culture and were taught the same broad values. If you're religious this should make even more sense as god coming down to both people and influencing/guiding their religion. This also wouldn't be out of the question as Indo Aryans also were the ones who practically created Hinduism (as hinduism was created by the Vedas texts and the Vedas were indo aryan).
