The Paraclete Debate: The Holy Spirit or Muhammad?

We had a power outage at the start, jump to 6:04 to get to the restart

In the Gospel of John, Jesus says after he is gone he will send the Paraclete (παράκλητος).  Commonly translated "Helper" or "Advocate," this has traditionally been understood as the coming of The Holy Spirit by Christians.  Muslims, however, have interpreted the same verses as a prophecy of the later prophethood of Muhammad.  

Truth matters, so let's debate it out!  Mary Harb (@toomanymarys7355) represented the Christian position and Muhammad Ammar Adil represented the Muslim position.  They met live on July 23 for an informal debate (this video), and then Mary joined me for an after party here: https://youtu.be/hnzTM9DWMAI
