That’s right.
Mad Mo was a disgusting pervert!
Fascinating take on this.
Ishmael was described as a wild man
and he would be at Odds with all.
So it is Written, so it shall be done

(I’m binge watching THE TEN COMMANDMENTS)
My theory: Satan, knowing he was defeated by the risen Christ, wanted to strike back. So he found a simple-minded pedophile that he could influence into creating a religion that is a mirror image of Christianity - where evil in God’s eyes is considered good and vice versa.
Momad’s wife reportedly thought he was possessed by a demon - I think she was an observant lady.
The only thing wrong about the video is that Momad probably never existed (by that name) in the first place.Exactly. And if he actually existed, he was but a minor tribal chief whose name became convenient for later "Muslim" rulers who made up his story, probably sorted out from a confused mass of tribal legends, to justify themselves.
I thought it was because Abraham preferred son Isaac, forefather of Hebrews, to son Ismael, forefather of Arabs.The story was reverse engineered to justify MoMo's cooption of Judaism and Christianity.
I had never heard this so I did a quick web search and found a book called The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran.
Bfl
Yes that’s it. I got it mixed up about author hiding literally, but it was hiding identity using pseudonym. You know how sensitive the headchoppers are
My understanding is that Mohammed was educated by a Jewish tutor. He saw the unity of the Jews and Christians and lack of unity in the nomadic people in the middle east with their multiple idol gods and determined to unite them under a one god system to complete. In this, he determined that allah, the moon god to be supreme and declared the other idol gods forbidden was the way to go and proceeded accordingly...by the sword.
...as it’s been many years since I studied this, my understanding is open to correction, with references.
Makes sense. He started out with a more positive attitude toward Jews, and in his later life hated them and wanted to kill them all (I guess because they knew he was nuts and he didn’t like that). That is reflected in the Koran, and muslims tend to adhere to his later scrawlings rather than his earlier.
He dated a Jewish woman and the parents did not approve of him plus the woman dumped him.
