Muhammad: The Counterfeit Jesus

Date: 11/09/2020

Early Muslims faced a dilemma - very little was known about the supposed prophet of Islam.  The Quran seemed to indicate he was just a messenger who couldn't work miracles, but that when they talked to Christians this figure proved weak and embarrassing compared to Jesus.  So, what did they do?  They took stories about Jesus, modified them slightly, and pretended they were about Muhammad.  Today, orthodox Islam considers this obvious borrowing (which contradicts the Quran) to be part of the authentic sacred tradition.  This is just one several examples of how the sira clearly and unambiguously deify Muhammad.  Ayo from The Third Apology and Lloyd de Jongh join me live to continue our look at the Muhammad Muslims know, but are afraid to talk about - the divine figure of the sira.
