Came across this documentary, and watched it all today
Tom Holland is a 'popular historian' . In the documentary, he speaks about the history of Islam or more correctly ,the lack of it. He makes no definitive claims, but raises some interesting questions;
EG:
That Mecca is not mentioned in the Quran, then giving a suggestion about where the prophet may have been born..
That the first mention of Muhammad on coinage is 60 years after his death.
That Muslims claim god gave them the prophet and then god then gave them an empire. He asks if the Muslims of the seventh century were Muslims at all . Holland suggests instead, that perhaps Islam grew as a result of the new empire.
I would be very much interested in any opinions members might care to give

Ich wollte ein neues Online-Casino ausprobieren, das stabil läuft, übersichtlich ist und auf allen Geräten gut funktioniert. Dabei stieß ich auf spinogambino casino, das modern aussieht und schnell lädt. Die Bonusangebote sind fair, verständlich erklärt und speziell auf Schweizer Spieler zugeschnitten. Besonders gut gefiel mir, dass ich die Spiele sofort starten konnte und die Navigation intuitiv war, sodass ich direkt loslegen konnte, ohne lange suchen zu müssen.
Reading the thread about the history of the Bible made me realize how some things take time to fully understand. After feeling a bit overwhelmed, I decided to take a break with chicken road . I started with small bets, and a few wins brought a smile. The game was quick, enjoyable, and kept me distracted for a while. I ended up feeling relaxed and ready to continue my day.
