Pagan Moonotheism and the Kaaba: exploring the origins of Islam (livestream with Lloyd de Jongh)
Channel: Reasoned Answers
Date: 06/03/2022

Lloyd joined me live to continue our exploration into the origins and precursors to Islam.  In this episode we continue looking at pre-Islamic Arabian pagan gods and goddesses, with a special eye towards the origins of the Kaaba.  After the presentation, Alonzo Harris was given a chance to make a presentation on the apostle Paul, being chickened out and failed to show (despite posting under another name in the live comments).

The traditional history of Islam is flawed.  It was written centuries after Muhammad lived, edited, cleaned, and has continued to develop right up until present times.  Thus, most Muslims learn a fairy tale that has almost nothing to do with actual history.  In recent years, historians have been quietly working to discover the truth, tucked away in institutions and research journals, safe from jihadi threats.  

The academic work is beginning to filter down to the public.  Most discussion on it has focused on northern antecedents to Islam, painting an incomplete picture.  This video continues our series completing the picture by bringing to light the southern influences of Islam.
