Ignores the fact that Spencer is citing other scholars, primarily German and it was the Germans who first used historical criticism to dismantle xtianity for the pile of crap it is, Rayaan.

I get that muslims prefer to be comfortable with their fairy tales just as xtians prefer their own fairy tales. So I will ask you, where is the evidence that it happened the way the koran claims?

P.S. - the koran cannot be used to prove itself....in case you were thinking of wandering down that road.

Not to mention the whole movement around the offspring of Mohammad. What about Zaid ibn Ali ibn Hussain? Did he not rise against the government. Is that made up history...did people not rally around Ahlebayt or did Ahlebayt totally make up their lineage to Mohammad?

Yeah...and a family was cobbled together for jesus, too. How long is it going to take before you realize it is all the same stuff?

The implication of the video in the other thread is that the Arab empire created islam. Islam did not inspire the conquest of the empire. I'm sure you won't watch it.

I don't think it matters if Muhammed existed or not. I personally think he did. I also think he was full of shit, and that the world would be a better place had he never been born.

Winston Churchill was born in the 19th century, there's that.

Winston "let the starving miners eat grass because they're no better than cows" and "machine gun them down" Churchil?
