Banned in some countries. A UK seasoned history author attempts to find archaeological evidence for the alleged Arabian Prophet of Islam outside of the Qur’an/Hadiths having access to latest findings, venturing to the lands in question seeking hard key historical evidence. Also, R. Spencer’s book “Did Muhammad Exist?” review; “Essentially, Spencer maintains that the Arabian empire came first, the theology came later.” He concludes: “A careful investigation makes at least one thing clear: The details of Muhammad’s life that have been handed down as canonical—that he unified Arabia by the force of arms, concluded alliances, married wives, legislated for his community, and did so much else—are a creation of political ferment dating from long after the time he is supposed to have lived. Similarly, the records strongly indicate that the Qur’an did not exist until long after it was supposed to have been delivered to the prophet of Islam.” “Did Muhammad exist? As a prophet of the Arabs who taught a vaguely defined monotheism, he may have existed. But beyond that, his life story is lost in the mists of legend, like those of Robin Hood & Macbeth. As the prophet of Islam, who received (or even claimed to receive) the perfect copy of the perfect eternal book from the supreme God, Muhammad almost certainly did not exist. There are too many gaps, too many silences, too many aspects of the historical record that simply do not accord, and cannot be made to accord, with the traditional account of the Arabian prophet teaching his Qur’an, energizing his followers to such an extent that they went out and conquered a good part of the world.” (pp.214-215)
How will Muslims respond to this book? Some may seek to curse the author. They may respond in outrage. But that will not disprove the facts presented here. Islam is supposed to be a religion based in history. It is supposed to be a religion of reason. But if history will not support the claims of Islam, is it time for Muslims to rethink the legitimacy of Islam? Blind commitment to the teachings of the local imam will not be enough in this age of instant information and verification of facts” http://www.answering-islam.org/author…

Note by A2T-DoJtC: In SyroAramaic which much of Arabic comes out of, the word “Muhammad” is not a proper name but an honourable title “The Praised/Anointed One”, a SyroAramaic title reference to “The Christ” of the Bible in Syria + vicinity indisputably proven by historical evidence then it would have of an Arab Prophet unable to be found outside of the Qu’ran/Hadiths minus a few spurious sources from MONKS (big hint) unable to be corroborated/verified by other contemporaneous sources satisfactorily, thus being pseudopigraphica’s based in Mystery Religions, thereby being suspect as to grave error in translation understanding either by deliberate device for men’s desire to conquer the world or due to general illiteracy of such populations of these times in such areas which would have aided significantly in dispersing the erroneous translation definition. Is the circa 1306+ year old story of an “Arab Prophet” built on honest history or is it a corrupted version of various astro-polytheistic pagan & heathen nature religions of southern Mesopotamia merged w/ certain corrupted versions of Biblical stories adopted by the Arab mind thus being understood in a philosophical, mystic, heathen context w/ only touches of Abrahamic chronicles when seen through the lens of verifiable history? For the student whom diligently, rigorously seeks & studies factual ancient/classical history, digs even deeper, they’ll find Islam’s monotheistic position begins when Constantinople “Christianity” (OT & NT) has already been in the same areas since circa mid 3rd century A.D. seeking converts. Could modern Islam be a Roman-Greco Byzantine cult that could be called ‘Arabian Arianism’ intermingled consequently w/ various anti-biblical ideologies/religions of different flavours which RomanGreco “Christianity” basically is depending on where it is in the world as in the case of Islam, thus giving Islam it’s start around 700AD (official evidence, not tradition) w/ eerie clues being how closely the head-dress of an Islamic women and Roman & Constantinople nun’s covering is for example? Or is Islam a more nefarious strategy by Rome’s Mystery Religion agents through murder & suppression of true history among other things to use as a fierce attack dog for decimating the world population, as is already occurring in order to usher in a One World Order?
In the above documentary, some either know an “Arabian Prophet” is myth into reality and are being dishonest, or they are unaware of such evidence.
Did an alleged “Arabian Prophet” with the alleged ‘name’ of “Muhammad” actually exist, or is this really a synagogue of satan Romano-Iudeo deception?

The One Finger Sign….
– The gesture is alluding to tawhid, the indivisible oneness concept of monotheism in Islam.All adherents to the Muslim faith believe in tawhid. Thus, many mainstream Muslims believe that ISIL militants have corrupted the meaning of this symbol, which has a history of being used in a non-violent manner …
Break on Through
A document drafted by members of the global Christian community convening at the 3rd International Christian Forum, held in Moscow, detailed how over the past ten years the Middle East’s Christian population has shrunk by 80% and warned that unless current trends are reversed, Christianity “will vanish” from its ancient homelands in a few years’ time. Around the year 2000, there were 1.5 million Christians in Iraq; today there are only 100,000 — roughly a 93% percent drop, the document notes. In Syria, the largest cities “have lost almost all of their Christian population.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has taken control of six churches in the war-torn southeastern city of Diyarbakir in his latest move to squash freedom of speech and religious movement.
The state-sanctioned seizure is just the latest in a number of worrying developments to come out of increasingly hardline Turkey, which is in advanced talks with the EU over visa-free travel for its 80 million citizens.
Included in the seizures are Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches, one of which is over 1,700 years old.
But the seizures have outraged worshippers at the churches, who fear a government coup against their religion are now threatening to take legal action against the decision.
Ahmet Guvener, pastor of Diyarbakir Protestant Church, said: “The government didn’t take over these pieces of property in order to protect them. They did so to acquire them.”
And the Diyarbakir Bar Association – which represents Christians worshipping at one of the churches, has now officially filed an appeal the government’s action.
In a statement the group said: “Among the expropriated plots, there are structures belonging to public institutions … and places of worship and residences considered as historical and cultural heritage.
“This decision, which seems to be made by the request of the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning without any reason or justification, is unacceptable within the limits of constitutional order.”
Victoria Coates told PJ Media: “What’s happening in southern Turkey is all too typical in the Middle East today, as ancient Christian communities are displaced and persecuted by sectarian violence.
“The government of Turkey should move swiftly to return these churches to their rightful owners, and not take advantage of the situation to seize them permanently.”
Erdogan has courted open controversy in recent months with the seizure of opposition newspaper Zaman, which has unsurprisingly since toed a sycophantic pro-government line.
His apparently anti-democratic moves have provoked outrage in Europe, where politicians have been left bowing and scraping at his feet in a desperate bid to resolve the migrant chaos.
As part of a deal designed to stem the flow of people entering the continent EU leaders have promised to open up Europe to 80 million Turks and to accelerate talks on the country joining the 28-nation bloc.
