Here is a good article by Spencer: https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/articles/2008/did-muhammad-exist-muslim-prof-isn-t-so-sure,-out

Spencer used the results from Kalisch in his book.

Muhammad could have reacted by seething with resentment and lashing out at the world

Like the defense of projecting one's own malignant character on others who show no sign of that malignancy (progressives claiming conservatives are racist when it is the progressives that seek to define, promote, and benefit from race divisions among society, for example), this useful idiot unwittingly states the true nature of his hero and then claims said nature is only what other people are like, all in the same sentence.

Mechanically praying 6 times a day and rote memorization of a tale of fantasy work wonders on logical thinking - not.

Muhammad could have reacted by seething with resentment and lashing out at the world

Fixed it.

Just as we know a tree by the fruit it produces we know the quality of a religion by it’s ‘product’... And Muslim cultures create war, misery, and poverty... that’s telling.

“Happy Birthday, Muhammad,”

Does he get to rape the six year old girl after she jumps out of his birthday cake?

The nyt is actively working to end this civilization and to replace it with another.

They hate Christianity so much, they are willing to get all the women in this country raped by bearded savages and to get all the gays thrown off buildings by bearded savages.

Plus, when the pre-civilization barbarians get control, they’ll eliminate the entire staff of the nyt first.

How to Be a Muslim


I ordered a book for Amazon called, ‘How to Hug.’
But I sent it back when I discovered it was the
ninth volume of a set of encyclopedia.

But the historical criticism of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures that academics have engaged in for centuries has never been undertaken in an Islamic context, for reasons that should be obvious. The Qur'an is a book never to be doubted, never to be questioned: when one Islamic scholar, Suliman Bashear, taught his students at An-Najah National University in Nablus that the Qur'an and Islam were the products of historical development rather than being delivered in perfect form to Muhammad, his students threw him out of the window of his classroom.

Sometimes you actually have to admire the muzzies. If only nineteenth century German students had done this we might not be in this mess today.

I hope Robert Spencer isn't endorsing or promoting historical criticism of the Hebrew Bible???

I have no idea why you are posting these links to me. Did you somehow get the bizarre idea that I was defending islam? Islam is a false religion, and that is the one and only reason not to practice it. Simply declaring that it must be false because its "gxd" is a big meany is nonsense, since G-d cannot be judged by criteria external to Himself, and also because according to these same modern western standards the Biblical G-d is also a "big meanie."

My sole purpose was to wonder if Mr. Spencer thought such blasphemous criticism of the Holy Words was a good thing in the true religion merely because it is in a false one.

Yes, and Wellhausen still should have been defenestrated.

Just a link that shows that is has been done. Luxenberg himself claims to have chosen a pseudonym "upon the counsel of Arab friends, after these became familiar with my work theses," to protect himself against possible violent repercussions.

So compassionate, he let his 9-year-old bride keep her doll baby after he “married” her.

Another op-ed that apparently didn't appear in the print version of the paper.

Spencer should try submitting his own op-eds to the website.

Well, he always gave people the option of becoming slaves or converts before he executed them.

The NY Times building would have been torched and their staff hanged by angry mobs of patriotic Americans 150 years ago.
