Robert Spencer speaks in Los Angeles on Did Muhammad Exist?

Watch this because it is very interesting:

This orthodox christian does indeed make a well studied investigation of Islam history.

What he misses is that the idea of Islam being a political agenda was not original.
Islam is just a copy of an other very successful religion that was created for a political agenda, that we call Christianity.

Islam took parts from Judaism

Islam took parts from Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad was born in the sixth century CE.

Muhammad was born about 532

Muhammad was born about 532 ce Paul actually created the Christian religion in Rome in the first century ce he is the man that made Jesus a god Jesus' brother James was the head of the Christian church in Jerusalem and he thought Jesus's was the messiah but never considered him a god to Jews the messiah was a man who would come and free the Jewish people from Roman occupation and the corrupted temple cult but they never considered Jesus to be to be a god the book the zealot is very informative about first century life and what was going on politically at the time.

"Islam's self-identity is

"Islam's self-identity is that it is the authentic and ideal expression of monotheism. Muslims are raised with the view that Islam is God 3.0, Christianity is God 2.0, Judaism is God 1.0, and Hinduism is God 0.0."
