Iran has closed 50,000 out of its 75,000. Was it for financial reasons or lack of faith? Indonesia government begins to use Christian terminology when referring to Jesus Christ, instead of Isa Almasih. Saudi Arabia moderates as Wahhabism goes out of favour.

Mahamadim is plural? But there is only one Messiah!It is very common for semitic languages to have plurals used in a singular sense and any other of a number of nuances. So many translations choose a singular translation for "house" in Song 1:17, even though it's plural in Hebrew. "All night long" from Song 3:1 (NIV) is translating the hebrew plural "nights." The word translated "garden" (ESV) in Song 4:15 is actually plural. And the plurals in 5:16 are taken intensively. "His mouth is most sweet," there's no "most" in Hebrew. It's a plural usage that signifies intensification. Plurals that intensify the base word stem are especially common in Hebrew poetry like the Song. As an example from elsewhere, see the "greatnessof his might" (Isaiah 40:26). As I'm sure you've guessed by now "might" is actually plural, but referring to a singular subject for the same reason as Song 5:16—intensification. Karl-Heinz Ohlig suggests mhmd might go further back in time to a loanword from Ugaritic, meaning “desirable, precious.” It is linked to the concept of "chosen people" and the "chosen one". This translates in Greek as Eklektos. Mubarak is related to it as the "blessed one." The term "muhammad Jesus" was current, probably as late as 750 Ad, according to Ohlig. “AG 971 [660] many Arabs gathered at Jerusalem and made Mu'awiya king and he went up and sat down on Golgotha; he prayed there and went to Gethsemane and went down to the tomb of the blessed Mary to pray in it.” “He placed his throne in Damascus and refused to go to Mhmd's throne”. Under the terms of the old covenant, the “mercy seat” was the top of the ark of the covenant, representing the place where the invisible God sat, to dispense mercy to his sinful people. Only the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place and approach the mercy seat, and only once a year, to make atonement, by God’s decree, for himself and for the sins of the people. On the cross at Golgotha, Jesus made atonement as the "High Priest" for the sins of many. It was thus figuratively the mercy seat. The Mercy seat is his throne, therefore, Golgotha is Mhmd's throne. Hence, mhmd's throne was probably Golgotha or Jerusalem, therefore, Mu'awiya simply chose to rule from Damascus rather than Jerusalem.

Marijn Van Putten gets Muslims excited by downplaying variant differences between codices and seeming to support the standard Islamic narrative about an Uthmanic standardisation but is his confidence in the accuracy of carbon dating warranted? Stephen Shoemaker pours cold water on this evidence by exposing the multiple factors that make it at best a tool that can give you the century an animal was killed, but not narrow down the precise decade of a manuscript. It is too imprecise to be useful on this question. Then, van Putten discusses the considerable variants in pamplisets that undermines the case for a perfect preservation. Were these companion codices or just early editions on the road to creating a later quranic edition?

Gunter Luling is one example of a scholar who was dismissed as a direct result of his thesis that posed a challenging historical critique of Islam, specifically the Qur'an. He notes the dip in interest in serious scholarship in this area from the early part of the 20th century. In the US, Stephen J Shoemaker notes the oversized influence of Wilfred Cantrell Smith in discouraging the historical critique in relation to Islam. The University of Harvard, where he held a taught (on and off) from the 60s to the 80s, has received at least 30 million dollars from the Muslim donors.

In a previous video, one viewer questioned my claim that Saudi money was having an effect on the perceived consensus around the origins of Islam. Here is an example from Ibn Warraq of what is going on at the university level.

Ohlig's foreword to the Hidden Origins of Islam exposes the lack of historicity at the core of Islam's sources.

This video was first broadcast live on August 26th, 2020. Sadly, a video clip didn't play as desired during the livestream. With this video, I have corrected this and edited out much of the diversions to keep to the topic at hand.

Yasir Qadhi in 2019 reveals an obvious truth that Islam has spread not through the work of Dawahists causing mass conversion by the persuasiveness of their arguments, but instead largely due to the sword. Islam spread by the sword. In today's world, Islam has not reached its apogee because it no longer has the military capibility to wage further wars of conquest. Instead, in frustration it has resorted from time to time to asymetric warfare through the use of terrorism, but these outbursts are usually stomped out quickly by overwhelming western might to its leaders chagrin.

This video was originally made in May 2020, and it received confirmation of its accuracy from none other than Prof. Kerr in May 2023.

First broadcast on April 15th, 2020 Yehuda Nevo's survey of popular and official rock inscriptions pinpoints the emergence of Islam. He classifies them chronologically and conceptually so that a clear picture emerges of how Islam was began under caliphate direction and patronage, built upon earlier sects. The evolution of religious terminology is laid bare. His findings are an indispensable contribution to the debate of how and when Islam began. Mel & Murad discuss a selection of inscriptions from the survey.

First broadcast on February 6th, 2021. In this EPIC debate Murad & Bala battle each other as to who Dhul Qarnayn really was. Surah 18 mentions in the Quran mentions an anonymous man called the Two-horned one who builds a wall surrounding Yajuj & Majuj. The identity of this man is still being debated among Muslims (not publicly though) Bala argues he was Cyrus The Great Murad argues he was Alexander The Great Alexander The Great by Iron Maiden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oTEQf1d9Iw 0:00 Intro 0:01 Mel introduces Bala, Murad and debate format 2:43 Bala makes the case for Cyrus 22:15 Saint Murad: case for Alexander 41:00 Bala responds to Murad's arguments 46:00 Murad responds to Bala's arguments 50:27 Saint Murad challenges Bala 52:32 Bala challenges Saint Murad 58:35 Saint Murad's closing statement 1:01:11 Bala's closing statement 1:05:54 Mel invites audience to share their view 1:06:30 Free Discussion opened up 1:19:46 Mel calls discussion to an end
