Frontpagemag.com ^ | September 4, 2015 | Raymond Ibrahim

The media is abuzz with news that a portion of the Koran, which Muslims believe was first recited by their prophet, Muhammad, may actually predate Muhammad himself. Many seem to think that such news will have a large impact on the Muslim world and make Muslims rethink the veracity of their faith.

If you want a detailed history of "Mohammed's History" (spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc.) then watch William Federer explain it, from Jan. 25, 2012 at CC Chino Hills, CA. It's a MUST WATCH for everyone,Christians, Athiests and even Muslims!

This Video exposes the "Hidden Truths" and "Goals" behind Radical Islamic Muslims! - (EVEN WORSE);
It's one hour, thirty-two minuites and 26 seconds long, but it's worth your time.
Watch and learn Mohammed's History - Exposing Islam's "Hidden Truths" - Of Radical Muslims.

Also read ISLAM--Religion of Peace?

Click here to view Books by WILLIAM FEDERER from Amazon.com.

I remember our Heavenly Father telling us HOW to handle other religions,
how to show the proper reaction to their false gods.
Also: Here's a great example of responding to those followers of FALSE gods.
Jerubbaal and Joash of Judges 6 and Judges 7 are well worth your time.

Moslems and islam are totally irrational, so this won’t make the slightest difference.

So sad but true:

But of course, while Western academics, politicians, and media can openly discuss this issue of the Koran’s dating—after all, it’s “scientific”—criticizing the Koran from a moral point of view, which is what’s needed here, remains unthinkable (remember: morality is relative in the West).

And so, when all is said and done, the mantra that “Islam is peace” will continue to be chanted mindlessly in the West

Remember what our Heavenly Father said:
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith. For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ).

"...there is very little that Western scholars and scientists can do or say about Islam that would have much influence on the Islamic mindset.

It makes no difference.

A copy of the quran could be found fossilized in the crap of a dinosaur and they'd still insist it was the word of mohamhead.

As far as questioning the veracity of their religion...will any muslim scholar (now that IS an oxymoron) come forth and question the word of mohamhead?

No...to do so would invite the fatwas of the ayatollahs and the radicalized imams and would be summarily dismissed as attempts to discredit the worlds most beautiful religion.

And I wouldn't be surprised to see obie wan dipshit issue a fatwa, uh, er, an Executive Order, discounting any and all accounts of anything that might discredit mohamhead.

Looks like a rehash of information covered in the 1977 book ‘Hagarism: The Making of the Islamic World’ by Patricia Crone and Michael Cook.

This is why I proposed that Europe, if they want to accomodate Muslem refugees, must sterilize birth age women as a condition. That way, the reproduction curve is set back enough so that the new generation is Westernized and reproduces at a similar rate.

So, Mohammed plagiarized?

Maybe, maybe not.

There is a firm tradition among Arab Christians that Mohammed started as a Christian missionary to the pagan Arabs, sent by the Assyrian Church of the East, who went rogue and set up as a warlord. This tradition received support from textual analyses of the "received" text of the Qu'ran used by modern Muslims that show passages of it, which are nonsense in Arabic and thus the subject of all manner of fanciful interpretation by Muslim jurists, are prefectly sensible East Syriac, the language of worship of the Church of the East.

I have observed that the Assyrian bishop of what is now Kirkuk at the time Mohammed began his preaching was one Mar Gabriel, and that there is an ancient custom in the Christian East of calling the local bishop the "angel" of his church (attested in the title of the Orthodox Bishop of Bosra and Haran, "the Angel of Haran" and in the Apocalypse of St. John, addressed to the angels of the churches of Asia Minor). If my surmise is correct, then before he went rogue, when Mohammed said he had received a message from the angel Gabriel, he was just saying he'd gotten this from his bishop, not asserting that the Bodiless Power who had visited the Virgin Mary at the Annunciation was talking to him.

The passages may not have been plagiarized, just passed on per instructions, then incorporated into the whole body of the text most of which was generated after Mohammed set up on his own to justify his predations.

He captured Hebrew scribes and forced them to write his koran. God even got some messages like the Bible Codes in the koran.
