The hidden origin of islam

The standard histories of Muhammad and the early development of Islam are based on Islamic literature that dates to the ninth and tenth centuries--some two centuries or more after the death of Muhammad in 632. Islamic literary sources do not exist for the seventh and eighth centuries, when, according to tradition, Muhammad and his immediate followers lived. All that is preserved from this time period are a few commemorative building inscriptions and assorted coins.
Based on the premise that reliable history can only be written on the basis of sources that are contemporary with the events described, the contributors to this in-depth investigation present research that reveals the obscure origins of Islam in a completely new light. As the authors meticulously show, the name "Muhammad" first appears on coins in Syria bearing Christian iconography. In this context the name is used as an honorific meaning "revered" or "praiseworthy" and can only refer to Jesus Christ, as Christianity was the predominant religion of the area at this time. This same reference exists in the building inscription of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, built by the caliph `Abd al-Malik.

The implication of these and other findings here presented is that the early Arab rulers adhered to a sect of Christianity. Indeed, evidence from the Koran, finalized at a much later time, shows that its central theological tenets were influenced by a pre-Nicean, Syrian Christianity. Linguistic analysis also indicates that Aramaic, the common language throughout the Near East for many centuries and the language of Syrian Christianity, significantly influenced the Arabic script and vocabulary used in the Koran. Finally, it was not until the end of the eighth and ninth centuries that Islam formed as a separate religion, and the Koran underwent a period of historical development of at least 200 years.

most of america alone goes by kjv thats still hundreds of millions.

@mrlogicalman1 : The number of native english speaker may be around 400 millions. A large fraction is catholic, agnostic, jewish, muslim, or non-anglican. A minority, compared to 2-3 billions of christians. Add to that the fact that KJV is archaic in language its present day appeal is small. The impact irrelevant to christianity and in reference to Trinity even more irrelevant as KJV is a translation made 1600 years AC.

@januk36 u r nuts :-D alaykom salam

@januk36 WRONG. If God exists,which he does.. Everything is from him. He gave you a way to disbelieve or believe. Just because the laws of nature are evident to you as being Gods creation and other things are beyond your belief,does not mean he did not make everything else as well. It is impossible for a human to write a Quran. Especially to be prophecized about in advance. What would Jesus have had to gain from saying Mohamed would come?

[karllegaladvice]

@januk36 How can you say you know he does not want you to believe? Where is your heart? It cannot be wrong to deny God? In the end,there is only his will. Does not mean he wills you to do wrong, imbecill.

[januk36]

@karllegaladvice : Wa-assalam aleikum and leila sahida.

[januk36]

@karllegaladvice : The only thing that is from god - if he exists - are the laws of nature.

.

What you follow is the concoction of some semites. Probably Mohammed in your case.

[januk36]

@karllegaladvice : You said: "You have a choice to obey or disobey"

--

Since nothing is supposed to go against "his" will, whatever choice is made is in accordance with his will. What is in accordance with his will cannot be wrong. There is no obeisance or disobeisance.
