Documentary film by Tom Holland for Channel 4 television, broadcasted in August 2012 (all rights reserved to Channel 4)
Tom Holland points to the "black hole" of the origins of Islam and investigates as a detective on the inconsistencies of muslim sources, the absence of ancient sources, the absence of any mention of Muhammad or Mecca before the end of the 7th century , the very late nature of the 1st biography of Muhammad (dated from 200 years after his death). He meets specialists, scholars and archaeologists (Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Patricia Crone, Guy Stroumsa, Fred Donner and Tali Erickson-Gini), visits the sites, contemplates the vestiges, looks for historical material, which he confronts with the Islamic narrative.

Maybe he should look in some of the Ancient Chinese accounts and writings in their ancient history. The Chinese were trading in that area and even with the Romans through various tribal Merchants including Arabs and desert peoples etc from very Ancient times. The Chinese may have some interesting writings about these Arabs and early Islam peoples/religions/practices. Chinese were always guarding their border lands against invaders, they had many tribal vassal states as well so the Chinese were great historians and record keepers, they are sure to have accounts worth reviewing.
By the 8th century or earlier Chinese ceramics were exported to Egypt and Western Asia, and of course much silk was exported to the Roman and Byzantine empires. I don’t remember when the first reference to Islam occurs in Chinese sources, although members of the Sassanian royal family fled to China after their defeat by the Arabs. I The Battle of Talas in around 750 was when the Chinese and Arab armies first encountered each other. The Arabs won.

They were only allowed to show this once in the UK, because of massive protests from Muslims. So I can only recommend "In the Shadow of the Sword" by Tom Holland, that is the book he basically are "advertising" for here, to get the full story of what he gives the "headlines" for here. (I've read it probably 4-5 times!)
This video also has been refuted by scholars and historians as well. He seems to be more ignorant and close minded to bother to look further more research.
@@AFGsultanZLet me guess....rEfUtEd by highly biased Islamic lunatics that present some idiotic philosophical mumbo jumbo without ANY material historical evidence....

Alone this anthropomorphic and cultural stupidity of these abrahamic religions make them so stupid....can only shake my head in disgust.

"in the shadow of the sword" is also amazing and is focused on the rise of Islam.

Dear Mr. Holland , i will try to be just and subjective and I will ask some questions: you made it to the desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan 🇯🇴 met some bedouins and heard from them about Islam, but never met some well known scholars in Jordan like Dr. Zaghlol AlNajjar , Dr. Mohammad Nouh and many others who would definitely enlighten you about your inquiries, why? One hour and 11 minutes I saw 4 people talking about Mohammad and kept saying “I do not know” as an answer for most of your questions and comments, are you convinced that you interviewed the right people? What are you trying to tell us here? Do you think that this work had been produced based on a proper scientific research? I need answers please!!!!
Check my comment above
You’ll never get the answer cause this was made to make us Muslims look bad to justify the occupation of Palestine simple as that
Search out who Tom Holland is, his scholarly accolades and his stance on religion/ideology and find he has no agenda, he simply goes where the actual evidence leads... not simply relying on the islamic insistence of a history with no archeological evidence to back it up.
He has written a book as well, the perusal of which , ought to be a more oppurtune correspondence.
what you consider "enlightening" is merely evasive answers.

This was an eye opener meaning that we generally have to dig for answers if we are expected to accept and believe in anything. I found this video to be good , objective. But there is still a long way to go in looking for answers and I pray that we as humans get at least some of those answers, personally I don’t judge which is right or wrong, only to be able to find peace for at least myself. This video might or might not be it but it’s good to know there are efforts being made .
Wonderful work, even he got no answers, but it was an awesome journey. much respect to Mr. Holland and this channel.

Emotionally driven and unbiased way of researching, if you have at least bothered yourself to look the prophet wasn’t at all a bedouin or nomad neither were most of his companions, but you needed that image to strengthen your argument and belittling the subject.

I am not a Muslim. However, studying extensively that religion and its history, it seems Dr. Holland tip toed around Islamic references that documented extensively the period he is examining. Our understanding would be very poor if we ignored early Christian historians and commentators. In the corpus of what is written by Muslim historians are also records of scientific knowledge, literature, philosophical ideas, theological analysis, etc. that enriched our world to this day. The views of the film are very limited to satisfy a certain audience not an academic one.
Exactly. Orientalism in a nutshell.
Well said, I also find it weird that some have knowledge about how Islam spread and that there is a story about it.
Your assumption being that an academic audience's satisfaction should be the primary goal of this or any documentary. Keep in mind that Jews and Christians thought of early Islam as a dangerous cult. Most of them didn't have anything positive to say about it; similar to how many American Baptists and Protestant Evangelicals view Mormonism.
What sources exist during that time?
@@cedricroney1475 Highly unreliable, highly biased sources. People weren't concerned with accuracy in the past. They were more interested in telling tall tales and BSing their way, becuz humans are attention seekers. In essence, not much has changed. Humans were and have remained unreliable, baised sources. It may be the way our brains are wired.
Man makes his own stories and history for everything else, there is a mystery.
Change of the qibla (Arabic: تحويل القبلة) is the event in which the qibla of Muslims (direction of performing some rituals) was redirected from al-Aqsa mosque, in Bayt al-Maqids (Jerusalem), to the Ka'ba (in Mecca). The event occurred in Rajab, 2/January, 624, after the revelation of al-Qibla Verse. According to the majority of historiographers, the change of qibla occurred in Masjid al-Qiblatayn in Medina in the middle of the noon prayer. One interesting point about the redirection of the qibla is how people turned in the middle of a congregational prayer to over 160 degrees.
But the archeological evidence says that muslims decades later still didnʼt pray towards Mekka
A respectful and sensitive documentary on the topic of the historical origins of Islam. Thank you.
I'm a 62yo Chinese Malaysian teacher. I'm not sure if I gained much from what was intended by Tom. Maybe he's trying to convey the "truth" that there's no historical records or sources. Even historical records of other histories are basically premised on presumptions constructed from sources that are "flawed". My sense is that all history is based on presumptions made from the little information unearthed.
He pretty much implicate this,.. kzhead.info/sun/Z6man9SAlneGmZs/bejne.html
Yes, this is steeped in modernist/rationalist assumptions that determine the frame of inquiry
Tom Holland's documentary "Islam: The Untold Story" was heavily criticized by scholars and experts for its numerous inaccuracies and factual errors. One of the most significant inaccuracies was Holland's assertion that there was no archaeological evidence to support the traditional Islamic account of the life of Prophet Muhammad. Holland claimed that no physical evidence of Muhammad's existence or the early Islamic community had been found, and suggested that this was evidence that the traditional Islamic account of Muhammad's life was a later fabrication. However, this claim was widely refuted by scholars and experts. Islamic studies professor Jonathan Brown, for example, wrote in a review of the documentary that Holland's claim "reflects a rather bizarre ignorance of the field of early Islamic history and archaeology." Brown explained that while there is relatively little archaeological evidence from the early Islamic period, there is abundant written evidence from the time that supports the traditional Islamic account of Muhammad's life and the early Islamic community. Other experts also pointed out factual errors in Holland's documentary, such as his claim that the Kaaba in Mecca was originally a Christian shrine, and his suggestion that the early Islamic conquests were primarily motivated by economic gain rather than religious ideology. In response to the criticism, Holland issued a statement in which he acknowledged that some of his claims had been "unhelpfully phrased" and expressed regret for any offense caused. However, he maintained that the central thesis of his documentary remained valid. Overall, the controversy surrounding Holland's documentary highlights the importance of careful and rigorous scholarship when exploring complex historical topics like the origins and development of Islam.
Is this done on purpose? Do Universities and academia only give a certain diatribe, and everything else is put aside? Do you honestly believe we descend from Homo Sapiens? Have we as a people evolved? Or... Were we all Created? Did we all descend from Noah's Ark? Yes, I have faith in...Almighty God. The God from The Holy Bible.
Glad I saw this before I wasted an hour lol😂
I can`t believe that Tom hasn`t mentioned Medina throughout this documentary, even though all of the Korans surahs are divided into the Meccan(surahs that were revealed anytime before the migration or the Hijra) and the Medinan suras, that are those supposed revelations that occurred after the migration to the city of that name. Mecca is(and was I suppose) barren, while Medina IS much greener, with fertile soil to grow fruits and vegetables.
Exactly.
Precisely, Tom Holland's idea is that if Islam was passed off as having appeared in Medina or in another place close to Jewish and Christian influences, that would make Islam less original and there would be nothing miraculous to convert to him. Presenting Islam as being born in the depths of the Sahara far from any religious influence would give more credit to this religion as being a divine revelation.
It doesn't fit the descriptions, however. It has no olive trees, for instance - how do you explain that?
@@alialmunguy316 it would, if it were. However, all you need to do is do some source criticism to rule that out.
He came to this study with an attitude there's nothing he gone get. He doesn't even know the surahs are devided into two and goes ahead as far as Israel to place the context of the Quran SMH!
I lived in The Kindom of Saudi Arabia for just over 3 years as a civilian just After Retiring from the United States Air Force Feb 28, 1994. My story starts with the Gulf War of Desert Storm for which i was originaly assigned to deploy from Okinawa in Dec 1990 to Jeddah, KSA (Kindom of Saudi Arabia). But i did not deploy until just before the end of Desert Storm and the beginning of Desert Calm to Riyahd, KSA. And then Returning to Okinawa in July 1991 after having deployed to Daharahn, KSA. Now fast forward to my civilian time living in Jeddah, KSA. working for Lockheed/Martin on the Royal Saudi Airforce Base in Jeddah from Dec. 1995- Feb. 1999. Having experienced life living in the Kindom of Saudi Arabia these years is just as confusing to myself as it is now to all of you in this documentary.
what confused you lilving there? and what's the connection with this documentary?
Wow.
What was so mysterious about these dates and locations?
You should have saved your keystrokes, you don't say anything.
Whenever Holland talks about its “weight,” you can’t help but think, “Yeah, of course. Islam is oppressive, not liberating. It’s the worst iteration of the monotheistic patriarchy in history.”
I have always been fascinated by the notions that Mt Sinai the Christian monastery is there, and I have a book called “Where Moses Walked”. Sinai is where God spoke. Sinai is where God stopped talking. Then I realized that guess what? If God is God? God is everywhere and don’t have to pay admission to be close to God. 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” So we don’t need to pay admission or go on a hadj or pilgrimage to the Holy Land to be close to God. God is everything, everywhere and in every believer.
True enough, as He is omnipresent. But many Christians enjoy visiting the Holy Land where our Lord lived. LIkewise, Muslims enjoy making the journey to Mecca. It's no different (for them).
That’s what Hinduism is! Creating positive energy! Everything is God and you’re self is the other side of god! you can never see yourself truly but only feel it!
Your Worst Nightmare - Facts What you’re saying is true! Language is a curse becarfull of what words we use daily! GOD=DOG
The kingdom of God is humanity itself. We created God. We are God.
Too bad you hang your position on Paul/Saul's perversions of Jesus' teachings.
The conclusion is simplistic. The Prophet somewhat acquired a couple of texts from the Jewish religion and Christianity while traveling as a merchant around Syria, and took them all way back to somewhere in the Arabia desert. There he constructed the book by editing those texts. When he died many had converted but not sure where was the 'somewhere' so early mosques have diverse directions. Many years later some big warlords decided to be as cool as Roman emperors and felt like a cool religion was needed. The current holy city was designated as the original 'somewhere' and everyone in the following hundreds of years who doubted the decision was either killed or banished.
Thats why, its very diffrent and more logical to correct old versions of the same message, its an upgraded version of the same religion I think
Nice dream 🌏😃.Goes to show you havn't the faintest idea what you wrote about .
If simplistic, accurate. Your summary of what he says is brilliant and I mean that. It is what those skeptical of Islam fail to say in millions of words but which you've done in a few. Your comment is brilliant.
@@bilalabdulsamad9152 Hmmm, sounded pretty convincing to me.
@karlwalters3763 it must have sounded pretty convincing for someone who doesn't know a thing about islam. Don't blame you . Because if you knew anything about islam you would know everything he said contradicts the history and every sentence can be disproven . A simple google search or youtube search will show you the evidence for all the stuff thats being said. And quran and hadith is available free online if you want to check any of the claims. Making up stories and calling them as facts and people who are convinced by them is the biggest joke i see in this world.

Cute that he ignored that Jerusalem fell during the 2nd Righteous Caliph, Umar ibn Khattab. (he jumped directly to Muawiyyah). He ignored also that Mecca has at least one Oasis. He also can explain how in Jupiter's name, Rome can let a center of resistance bloomed right in the center of Syam. BTW, the fertile crescent trumped canaan.
Of course he skipped over the obvious. This video was made for Christians to feel better about themselves lol
They have done archeological research into what grew in Mecca. It wasn’t much of anything as they found no evidence of trees as described in the Quran. What is obvious is that the original holy site was not in current day Mecca. You only have to look to the oldest Mosques to determine which direction they prayed and it was not toward current day Mecca. This does not mean Islam is false, it simply means that their holy sites have changed. Jerusalem was never a holy site for Muslims prior to their conquering of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is mentioned ZERO times in the Quran.

4.50, wrong already. Istanbul was not the capital of the Roman empire, it was always Rome. But wen the Roman empire was divided into two, or better, collapsed, Istanbul was the -capital- of the Eastern Roman Empire. Since i am not allowed to post links,youtube considers this advertising, i just copied a few lines from WIKI. Following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the late 5th century, Constantinople remained the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire; 330-1204 and 1261-1453), the Latin Empire (1204-1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453-1922
That is true. There were two competing capitals.
I noticed that you haven’t mentioned the science of Hadith, this is not just stories, there are strict rules to follow so you can know if the story is correct, corrupted, or a lie.
Seriously, when he said he can't find anything from 7th centaury, it felt so weird. There is so much history from the start.
Islamic history and sayings of prophet Muhammad is preserved under such strict rules that no history rules can match.imams(researchers who studied every auspect of prophets life)has spent their lives to analyze each and every hadiths.proving certificates for each saying and rejected if it not fullfilling the criteria...when u study u vl come to know this way of research is far more authentic than ordinary history

Not being able to know something doesn't mean that it does exist.
*Atheists claim that they are intellectually superior to religious people because they are willing to question their beliefs, whereas religious people are dogmatic and refuse to question their deepest beliefs and won't consider evidence that could potentially undermine those beliefs.* . Well, have you ever heard an atheist say: "I wonder if constantly increasing individual freedom is a good thing." "I was wrong about democracy being a viable system." "Maybe the sexual revolution was a mistake." "The evidence shows that equality of the sexes is destructive." "Let's have a debate on if freedom of speech and religion is good for society." "Could it be that women need fewer rights?" I have never seen an atheist raise these questions or hold these positions up to serious scrutiny. Nor do they provide any evidence for their beliefs on these matters. They simply assert them and ridicule and mock anyone who disagrees with them.
Do you have more research on it? Would be interesting to watch or read.
He has many books. Tom Holland the historian. Not the Spiderman actor
It's not a Religion, it was one Army, slowly they converted a Religion
I find this fascinating but as an atheist, where would mankind be if religion had never taken a foothold in our past?

Wondering, Wondering, and still Wondering..... 😪😵
So many comments about this being "poorly researched" and "missing so much history/information". Yet know one know what's missing, or where to find it.
@Game Of Web You mentioned a single place, mentioned in a single verse from the Quran. Yet gave no historical relevance to it. Which is what the person in the video was referring too. Your other references to historical accuracy didn't even show a connection with the Quran. Your mention of Hirayrah is somewhat strange to me, in all honesty. There are some Islamic scholars, who quote him as being a liar. Saying much of his work was stolen from others. Also, that he was a later convert, and spent little time with Muhammed. As well as criticism by Aisha and Umar. Many point out that Umar even with the physically assaulted him. What quailifications do you feel on needs to be labeled an "arab" historian, or a "muslim" historian? The video presenter does have a degree, and has written several non-fiction books on historical figures, and historic periods.
@Game Of Web What are you talking about? You actually only addressed one thing I said directly. Yet not enough to dismiss my point. In reference to Hirayrah. Your talking about a well in the desert, and a place being mentioned in the Bible, still doesn't show the passage you cited, having any historical reference to something that took place. Do I really need to get into your going on about lawyers being total nonsense, in regards to my asking you about historian qualifications?
It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar ('Abdullah b. 'Umar) that the Messenger of moon elah Al'lah (may peace be upon him) observed: Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole.
@Game Of Web Again, you are not addressing what I actually said. Apparently it's more important for you to make up your own "version" of what I said. Also, you are assuming that the person never talked to anyone that was "arab" or "Muslim", simply because you did not see it in the video? That's absurd on numerous levels. I have no idea what documentary you are referring to on the "life" of Jesus. But, I will say all the ones that I have seen, offer no factual evidence on a historical life of Jesus. Simply speculation based on religious texts. Which are nothing more than historical narratives. Your reference about someone mentioning some person, named Muhammed, who taught something, offers very little to support your argument. It's really no different than someone in the 1st century CE mentioning a person named Claudius, who was a store owner. Very common. Your counter arguments are too emotional. You aren't taking the time to put together a coherent comment, that actually support your stance, with anything substantial. All you have really offered is emotion based snippets, that do nothing to actually refute the video.
@@skellingtonmeteoryballoon So you're commenting to the other person?

It is clear that Holland is not Christian, perhaps even anti-Christian. He cannot even pay us lip service when he says that the Holy Sepulchre is built on the site of Christ's crucifixion. He knows full well that "sepulchre" means tomb and that the emphasis is on the place of Christ's resurrection, but this word, he cannot even bring himself to utter. However, thank you for revealing all the confusion behind Islam, confusion being the key word here!
This guy encountered some of the same things I encountered. In the end, islam betrayed itself to me as a parasitic system of philosophy that rests on two main pillars; political and religious. It feeds off what it has conquered. There's nothing remarkable about it worthy of our admiration.
I'm wondering if Tom Holland is still alive or has been taken out!
Truth will prevail and falsehood demonish as it is the nature of falsehood to demonish itself. Despite what you may say, insult what you may, debase what you may think about ISLAM, curse what you may of its sacred book and its Prophet ... yet it is the fastest growing belief system in the world today ! Open your eyes, your heart and your mind and contemplate why is it so ?!
the same can be said about any institutional relgion
@Quentin Dunn cite references. Plus, devils/demons are separate created entities from humans. Do your homework.
It is no longer what Mohammed envisioned. Remember he brought the people back from polytheism to the One True God, the God of Abraham, which Jews and Christians also accept. When he wrote the Quran, he said not to write anything else down, even if he said it. Yet, after his death, power-seeking MEN wrote down the Hadiths, traditions, against Mohammed's will - just like the Jews wrote down the Talmud, which is NOT Scriptural. Both Jews and Arabs descended from Abraham and both are Semites as they came from Noah's son Shem.
I'm quite sure that the Emperor in Chang'an would have disputed the Emperor in Constantinople's claim to be Master of the Universe.
Agreed .
Did the "Emperor of Constantinople" claim to be Master of the Universe?
I always find it odd how Muslims believe the Bible is corrupted yet we don’t even know who wrote all the different quran versions. It comes from thousands of miles and centuries away. Who truly was Muhammad? Was there a Muhammad? Super interesting question.
An excellent documentary! Is the cinematographer and/or editor enraptured with Mr. Holland? He is lovingly kept in frame (in various filters and angles) for 65% of the footage. 😂 Nonetheless, a fascinating journey.
I hesitated reading the comment section, coz i know itll be a frenzy.

Yeh, Having been in the hotel industry, I have had the fortune of working with many, many persons from many, many culture’s, countries and ethnicities. Retired now for ten years, I regularly golf with Asian golf partners from Taiwan, Korea and those that actually lived in China and owned a factory in China. I very much enjoy hearing about their experiences, opinions, cultures and families. In “79”, I had many Iranian young men work for me. They needed to work due to assets being frozen and not being able to get back to Iran. 45 years later, I know for a fact some of these men have raised families in the U.S. and are as “Americanizes” as can be. Although I recognize there are many Muslims in the U.S., they DO NOT want to over-assimilate or have there families, descendants effected by the American culture. My neighbor is one. He will not shake hands with someone such as I. I have encountered this many times interacting with persons of that culture. So- although in our country and our culture, their religion does not allow to integrate. This is segregation. Just saying. Definitely now a religion of love in my humble opinion.
Huh? In the US? I could see if it was Europe. The vast majority of Muslims in the US are thoroughly assimilated and will shake hands with anyone who respects them. Hell, they even celebrate the fourth. The only difference I know is that they may forego the hot dogs in favor of a burgher or a beef alternative.

Whoever added that retalier, item barcode scanning sound effect, needs to be left alone in the worlds quietest room, with only that sound effect playing the same number of times it plays here.
The story is hampered by the fact that Arabs of that day did not keep written records. That came only later. So of course there is not a paper trail, showing the circumstances of Islam's rise. But to then offer your opinion as definitive, that Islam arose from the Arab empire, is imposing your version on a story where there is no documentation, either way. It's historical malpractice, in other words. It's true that Mecca became the focus many years later. The niches in the very first mosques were pointed at Petra, according to another account. That gave birth to a theory that Mohammed was from there, being a trader, and Petra being a trading center. And Mecca has literally no archeology at all, which is strange, and difficult to reconcile with the Koran. But something united the Arabs before they could become an empire. This was no small thing - they were famous for inter-tribal wars. To this point, I haven't seen anything that would disprove the standard narrative - that it was the rise of this new religion, brought about by Mohammed. Only the lack of a paper trail, which you'd expect, given who the people were.
Muhammed travelled to Syria with caravans
There is written evidence from that very era up to this day. There is no any other religion which has pure authentic and unadulterated records than Islam.
Mr. Tom Jelinek , your comment is logic, but Islam has nothing to do with Petra at all , it was on the way of the caravans. I think Jay smith came up with this one, that most of the mosques I mean the Qibla was directed towards south-east /west from the north of Arabia , we had no astronomers at that time too to have the Qibla direction towards Mecca 🕋 accurately, see nowadays mosques 🕌 for instance. Petra was nothing after the Roman conquest in the 1st century AD . It was inhabited by Arabs , the remnants of Thamud. By the way , Mecca still have many archeological sites , but unfortunately after conquest of Ibn Saud in 1925 , many of these sites were destroyed, some graves of the companions of prophet Muhammad se still there especially the great wife of prophet Muhammad PBUH who shared him the very first moments after he received the first revelation of Quran. My greetings.🌹
@ yaania rasheed , Arabs knew many names of a thing , they are “linguists by nature “ even before Islam, one of the Arab linguists named “Al’Asma’i” knew more than 50 names for the “Stone” 😁, I knew bedouins who still use different names of the stone, like , Mangula, Gla’aa, and still “in their mother Arab dialect” ,unbelievably, amazingly use metaphor . The way they point to things and the way they describe them, it’s like magic.
Even if there is a written trail, can you still believe everything that got to be written? I mean most of Roman history and life were written by those who could access education, or you can say the Elites. They never tell you what's like being the normies or even slaves. Maybe there were conquer that been exaggerated, like you'd find politics these days. Not every documents could prove the truth.
video production quality is amazing
I haven’t watched it yet, but all I know is there would be a lot more peace in the world if Islam never came into existence.

I think Holland wasting His time in the dessert. He missed out or may be forgot that there is Hadith book written by The disciple of Muhammad's companion. He quoted what His teacher (the companion who met Muhammad) told to Him. If I'm not mistaken it was 50 years after the death of Prophet so theory that says Hadith is fabricated 200 years after prophet is rubish
His video is like his books: too long, too wordy. Having said that, his books are must-read if you have any interest in ancient history. Absolutely eye-openers.

What gets me is how Islam takes credit for scientific discoveries. If anything, religion has mostly stifled science. People made discoveries regardless of it
If you are interested in learning more, you can always look further into the history of modern science and see that without the Christian monasteries and universities of the Middle Ages, there would be no "science" today. The scientific method that was developed in Europe has no match in anywhere else in the world: Not in the desert, not in the east and not in the past.

What A Great Effort.... Good job Mr. Hollend.... Thank you for every thing....
The Austin School YT channel has the best most factual teachings on history
This sounded dodgy right from the very start so I searched 'Is Tom Holland historian legit?' and found a lot of discussions on his lack of training as a historian and his poor analysis skills. To quote Ben Glowerstock, a historian in The Guardian: The scattershot nature of Holland's investigations is particularly apparent in his breezy reference to the Qur'an manuscripts that were found in Sana'a, Yemen, in 1973. He hints darkly at censorship to explain publication delays caused by textual variants in a palimpsest but is unaware that the palimpsest itself and two other manuscripts are actually now with the publisher. He is also unaware that a second cache of Qur'an manuscripts was discovered five years ago in renovations of the Great Mosque in Sana'a and that in February 2010 the Yemeni authorities granted permission for them to be studied. But Holland is at his most irresponsible when he turns to the Meccan origins of Islam. After reasonably supporting Patricia Crone's argument against the tradition of Mecca as a mercantile centre, he goes on to ask whether the place itself might not be an invention in the story of Muhammad. He raises the possibility that the Qur'anic pagans, called mushrikun, might be confederate tribes simply because the word is constructed from the Arabic root for "sharing". He looks for these tribes in southern Jordan and not only thinks of placing Muhammad among them but proposes that his own Meccan tribe, the Quraysh, took its name from the Syriac word qarisha, which, according to Holland, would have been "duly Arabised". This jaw-dropping idea depends on Holland's mistaken view that the Syriac word could allude to a confederation.

Ask yourself this question. Who would be the most powerful God. A God who want your sons to die for him in order to get to heaven or a God who sent his son To die for you so that you can live.
cant have a son.. thats a physical thing. God is metaphysical. So no I dont want anyone to die for my sins, every indiviual is accountent for their actions. What your saying is since (the europianized version of christianity) says jesus died on the cross for them, this enables peole to ignore their morales and dont fear sinning, cuz its already taken care of 2000 years ago. NO. Every man and woman is responsible for their actions and will be taken into account in this or the next life ;) And guess what, saying that he has a son, who then again has a father, who then again has a mother who then again has a ghost, is one of the greatest sins of God. bible says "thou shalt not have other gods than god"

All you idiots making comments about Islam should actually read a book and stop learning about shit off KZhead. Islam was no more militant then Christianity during the Crusades or Judaism or paganism
Jesus
@Edmund Your ether a very stupid person your your a lier... Jesus is less then the illiterate man Mohammad at least in their own scriptures...
The "Greatest Man" according to Islam, that ever existed......never existed.
ask 2 billion people or do your own research on who was the greatest man on Earth never throw words in air
@@Alone_79 Yes your quran says Isa was Holy, muhammad was not. There is your answer.
@@dreday547 you didn't even read The Quran mate 😅 all prophets are holy not only Isa (A.S) or what you Christians call Jesus don't try to act cool by showing you know everything bruh

There is a book. In which there is no doubt. A guidance for those who believe in the unseen.
The Oxford English Dictionary.

6:50 the saddness in his voice, unavoidable
THIS IS THE TOO-OFTEN-UNTOLD STORY It’s hard to believe that after 1,400 years anything remains to be said about Muhammad, Islam’s texts, and Muslim history. First, Muhammad said he got the Qur'ān privately from an angel in a cave. When he nevertheless found that he was making only a small impact in Mecca, in 622 he left for Yathrib with some fellow emigrants-Islam’s Hijrah-changed Yathrib’s name to Medina, and embarked on a different route to influence: war, which has remained Islam’s way ever since (though Muslims are certainly on a peace offensive now, apart from their war in Africa’s Sahel). “The Apostle...struck whoever turned his back to (God) until he came to Islam, willingly or grudgingly” (Islam’s first caliph, Abu Bakr, quoted in al-Tabari's History of the Prophets and Kings”). Grudgingly, huh? An interviewer in 2011 asked Ahmad Abu Quddum “So we are commanded to fight in order to spread the religion of Allah?” “Yes,” he said, “this is Islam’s way of spreading.” In his new home, Muhammad drew up a Constitution of Medina that made him the town’s leading citizen. Meanwhile he fought a series of battles, offensive and defensive, including 627’s Battle of the Trench-a siege, really-after which he personally beheaded at least 600 men and a woman of Medina’s Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe for not supporting him. “The Messenger of Allah...slaughtered 700 people-that is our Prophet and our religion” (KZhead’s Abu Muhammad Ar Rusi). While in Medina, Muhammad sat in judgment of a man who’d killed his children’s mother for having slandered Muhammad, who found the man not guilty: “Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood” (Abu Dawud 5:4361, a canonical hadith). In early 630, Muhammad triumphantly returned to Mecca at the head of an army. He died there in June 632. So what do Islam’s texts say? They are extensive, but include Qur'ān 2:2, which discourages THINKING about the Qur'ān: “This is the Book about which there is no doubt.” Qur'ān 2:285 makes the point clearer still: “We hear and we obey.” And Qur'ān 5:101-02 adds “Do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you....A people before you...became disbelievers on account of them.” So what is Muslims’ mandate? Qur'ān 2:251 says “And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted....” (The brackets are in the translation.) Qur'ān 2:216 has Muhammad saying “Fighting is enjoined on you.” And Bukhari 4:52:311 has him saying “When you are called by the Muslim ruler for jihād fighting, you should go forth immediately.” And Muslims’ defense of Islam is to be brutal. Qur'ān 5:33 says “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides.” Qur'ān 8:67 says “It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allah's enemies] in the land” (brackets of which are in the translation), which makes of Muhammad a brutal man of war. Indeed, Qur'ān 9:3 says “Allah and His Apostle are free from liability to the idolaters.” Quickly then, Qur'ān 9:5 says “When the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush,” a clear exhortation to premeditated murder. Finally, in 712, eighty years after Muhammad’s death, al-Hajjaj bin Yousef cited Qur'ān 47:4’s “O True believers, when you encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads” to justify a slaughter of thousands in Brahmanabad, far up the Indus River valley. But does that typify Muslim history? Muslims invaded India, not the reverse; Persia, not the reverse; the Byzantine Empire (including Syria and Egypt), not the reverse; Africa’s Maghreb, not the reverse; Europe, not the reverse; and fought the Chinese on the Talas River, far from Arabia. “The Mohammedan Conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history,” wrote Will Durant (1885-1981). And in 636-37, Muslims besieged and took Jerusalem, to which they had no claim aside from arrogance. Moreover, to this very hour, no one has ever invaded Arabia’s Hejaz, which embraces both Mecca and Medina. Have Muslim jihādis misunderstood Islam? Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), a Muslim sociologist admired in the West, once summarized Muslims’ obligations this way: “In the Muslim community, the holy war is a duty because of...[the obligation to] convert everyone to Islam either by persuasion or by force....The other groups did not have a universal mission, so the holy war was not a religious duty to them....All of them are unbelief. This is clearly stated in the noble Qur'an. [To] discuss or argue those things with them is not up to us. It is [for them to choose among] conversion to Islam, payment of the poll tax [jizya], or death.” Abul A'la Maududi (1903-1979) wrote "The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power in this world that tries to get in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy....The believers [are] under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life." And in 2015, Abu Bakar Bashir said “If the West wants to have peace, then they must accept Islamic rule.” That, then, is what the world is up against and what much of the world is loath to face. It’s also what humanity MUST face if it’s to survive. “Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error” (Muhammad, quoted at Abu Dawud 3:4590).
Mohammed was just another “Joesph Smith” who was discontented with the religions of his day, so he borrowed from several religions and made up the rest claiming “private revelation”. It gained for him a lot of power- which further bolstered his pride and insanity.
I believe their egos make Muhammad compare more closely with Donald Trump than with any other contemporary or recent figure.
That sums up all religions.
@@michaelbattenfield4100Perhaps Mohammed was role model for Joseph Smith. Mohammed was a shepherd, merchant, prophet, rebel, war lord and theocratic despot. Mohammed had plenty of wifes, but he had no living sons. The death of the prophet and the betrayal of her trusted men are also silent history. Fatima's children and Ali were brutally silenced.
