Documentary film by Tom Holland for Channel 4 television, broadcasted in August 2012 (all rights reserved to Channel 4)
Tom Holland points to the "black hole" of the origins of Islam and investigates as a detective on the inconsistencies of muslim sources, the absence of ancient sources, the absence of any mention of Muhammad or Mecca before the end of the 7th century , the very late nature of the 1st biography of Muhammad (dated from 200 years after his death). He meets specialists, scholars and archaeologists (Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Patricia Crone, Guy Stroumsa, Fred Donner and Tali Erickson-Gini), visits the sites, contemplates the vestiges, looks for historical material, which he confronts with the Islamic narrative. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
i’m gonna be honest i thought it was gonna be spider man teaching me about Muhammad, but this is wonderful.
On his podcast they make sometimes make that joke.
Me too, ✋🏽guilty
Bruh 😂
Would be an interesting career move for him...
They kinda sound the same?
The cinematography is just pure transcendence
well .. looks like a normal TV style documentary to me.
not to say its bad .. but transcendant? well ok .. each to its own!
I read Holland's book, "Dominion"....what an incredible book.
"in the shadow of the sword" is also amazing and is focused on the rise of Islam.
Wow, I just got that one recently and had no idea it was the same guy. Very cool. I will have to look into him more.
I'm going to seek this book out. Tom Holland is fantastic.
Stories that never happened can be infinitely more powerful than stories that did.
which stories 'never' happened?
@@auhmav04 most of that 1 houe clip! Mohammad wasn't really a prophet of Allah! The whole thing is designed to stop the Arab world from imploding. What part of it is hard to understand? Faith is different to fact 🤷♂️

Dear Mr. Holland , i will try to be just and subjective and I will ask some questions: you made it to the desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan 🇯🇴 met some bedouins and heard from them about Islam, but never met some well known scholars in Jordan like Dr. Zaghlol AlNajjar , Dr. Mohammad Nouh and many others who would definitely enlighten you about your inquiries, why? One hour and 11 minutes I saw 4 people talking about Mohammad and kept saying “I do not know” as an answer for most of your questions and comments, are you convinced that you interviewed the right people? What are you trying to tell us here? Do you think that this work had been produced based on a proper scientific research? I need answers please!!!!
Check my comment above
You’ll never get the answer cause this was made to make us Muslims look bad to justify the occupation of Palestine simple as that
Search out who Tom Holland is, his scholarly accolades and his stance on religion/ideology and find he has no agenda, he simply goes where the actual evidence leads... not simply relying on the islamic insistence of a history with no archeological evidence to back it up.
He has written a book as well, the perusal of which , ought to be a more oppurtune
correspondence.
what you consider "enlightening" is merely evasive answers.
Whenever Holland talks about its “weight,” you can’t help but think, “Yeah, of course. Islam is oppressive, not liberating. It’s the worst iteration of the monotheistic patriarchy in history.”
Maybe he should look in some of the Ancient Chinese accounts and writings in their ancient history. The Chinese were trading in that area and even with the Romans through various tribal Merchants including Arabs and desert peoples etc from very Ancient times. The Chinese may have some interesting writings about these Arabs and early Islam peoples/religions/practices. Chinese were always guarding their border lands against invaders, they had many tribal vassal states as well so the Chinese were great historians and record keepers, they are sure to have accounts worth reviewing.
By the 8th century or earlier Chinese ceramics were exported to Egypt and Western Asia, and of course much silk was exported to the Roman and Byzantine empires. I don’t remember when the first reference to Islam occurs in Chinese sources, although members of the Sassanian royal family fled to China after their defeat by the Arabs. I The Battle of Talas in around 750 was when the Chinese and Arab armies first encountered each other. The Arabs won.
@@malin5468 Thanks for that , what did they win? Did they win against the Mongols?
@@edmurks236 The Arab Abbasid empire was expanding east and the Chinese expanding westward. There is a description in Wikipedia. You can Google it.
@@edmurks236 that was before the Mongols i believe
@@mikefitzpatrick43 Ok but did the Islam army ever fight the Mongols? I must research it.
I am not a Muslim. However, studying extensively that religion and its history, it seems Dr. Holland tip toed around Islamic references that documented extensively the period he is examining. Our understanding would be very poor if we ignored early Christian historians and commentators. In the corpus of what is written by Muslim historians are also records of scientific knowledge, literature, philosophical ideas, theological analysis, etc. that enriched our world to this day. The views of the film are very limited to satisfy a certain audience not an academic one.
Exactly. Orientalism in a nutshell.
Well said, I also find it weird that some have knowledge about how Islam spread and that there is a story about it.
Your assumption being that an academic audience's satisfaction should be the primary goal of this or any documentary.
Keep in mind that Jews and Christians thought of early Islam as a dangerous cult. Most of them didn't have anything positive to say about it; similar to how many American Baptists and Protestant Evangelicals view Mormonism.
What sources exist during that time?
@@cedricroney1475
Highly unreliable, highly biased sources. People weren't concerned with accuracy in the past. They were more interested in telling tall tales and BSing their way, becuz humans are attention seekers. In essence, not much has changed. Humans were and have remained unreliable, baised sources. It may be the way our brains are wired.
They were only allowed to show this once in the UK, because of massive protests from Muslims. So I can only recommend "In the Shadow of the Sword" by Tom Holland, that is the book he basically are "advertising" for here, to get the full story of what he gives the "headlines" for here. (I've read it probably 4-5 times!)
This video also has been refuted by scholars and historians as well. He seems to be more ignorant and close minded to bother to look further more research.
@@AFGsultanZLet me guess....rEfUtEd by highly biased Islamic lunatics that present some idiotic philosophical mumbo jumbo without ANY material historical evidence....
The Aisha story alone shows that Islam is just another stone age delusional cult....of course the prophet had to be an Arab lol😂
As stupid as the virgin born resurrection ascension white Jesus or the circus show gods of Hinduism.
Alone this anthropomorphic and cultural stupidity of these abrahamic religions make them so stupid....can only shake my head in disgust.
@@AFGsultanZ
The video was refuted by scholars by using taqquiya
Incredible! The supposed "religion of peace" censoring through threats and civil unrest any bad press or uncomfortable facts about the religion's history. Tsk tsk, muslims...
@@Quijote-Salvaje yes the outer or exterior Islam will always be at odds and miss some of the key points as well
Change of the qibla (Arabic: تحويل القبلة) is the event in which the qibla of Muslims (direction of performing some rituals) was redirected from al-Aqsa mosque, in Bayt al-Maqids (Jerusalem), to the Ka'ba (in Mecca). The event occurred in Rajab, 2/January, 624, after the revelation of al-Qibla Verse. According to the majority of historiographers, the change of qibla occurred in Masjid al-Qiblatayn in Medina in the middle of the noon prayer. One interesting point about the redirection of the qibla is how people turned in the middle of a congregational prayer to over 160 degrees.
This was an eye opener meaning that we generally have to dig for answers if we are expected to accept and believe in anything. I found this video to be good , objective. But there is still a long way to go in looking for answers and I pray that we as humans get at least some of those answers, personally I don’t judge which is right or wrong, only to be able to find peace for at least myself. This video might or might not be it but it’s good to know there are efforts being made .

Correct. Merely narratives & motives until the reality is maybe revealed. All mankind is like this. What would miraculously set this people apart or make them immune. God ? Truthfully...what is that anyway ? Monotheism - corruption & divisiveness. Convenient really.

The War Between Light and Darkness.
"The war of Light and Darkness sounds well, but in this post-Freudian world, men realize that the Darkness ascribed to one's enemies is a projection of the Darkness in oneself that is not fully admitted. So in this way the distorted image of ISLAM is to be regarded as a projection of the shadow side of European Man."
[Prof.(Reverend) William Montgomerry Watt in his "Influence of Islam in Medieval Europe" page 83].
Islam is out to kill all non-Muslims.
@@wayupnorth9420 then how do they get more Muslims on their side ? Manufacturing them
excellent analogy
Is the lack of historical evidence right after the life of Mohammed more to do with the schism in leadership (Sunni vs Shia) rather than how Tom portrays it as an unknown? He never really touched on that in any great detail.
This strengthened my belief in Christ, thank you!
He’s not real either….
@@milkbunnies dude, you can pretend all you want- there's no serious scholar that disputes the actual existence of the man Jesus, that lived in and around Judea around 2,000 years ago. If you don't care to believe in the deity of Jesus- well, that's another issue you have altogether.
This guy encountered some of the same things I encountered. In the end, islam betrayed itself to me as a parasitic system of philosophy that rests on two main pillars; political and religious. It feeds off what it has conquered. There's nothing remarkable about it worthy of our admiration.
I'm wondering if Tom Holland is still alive or has been taken out!
Truth will prevail and falsehood demonish as it is the nature of falsehood to demonish itself.
Despite what you may say, insult what you may, debase what you may think about ISLAM, curse what you may of its sacred book and its Prophet ... yet it is the fastest growing belief system in the world today ! Open your eyes, your heart and your mind and contemplate why is it so ?!
the same can be said about any institutional relgion
@Quentin Dunn cite references. Plus, devils/demons are separate created entities from humans. Do your homework.
It is no longer what Mohammed envisioned. Remember he brought the people back from polytheism to the One True God, the God of Abraham, which Jews and Christians also accept. When he wrote the Quran, he said not to write anything else down, even if he said it. Yet, after his death, power-seeking MEN wrote down the Hadiths, traditions, against Mohammed's will - just like the Jews wrote down the Talmud, which is NOT Scriptural. Both Jews and Arabs descended from Abraham and both are Semites as they came from Noah's son Shem.
I'm a 62yo Chinese Malaysian teacher. I'm not sure if I gained much from what was intended by Tom. Maybe he's trying to convey the "truth" that there's no historical records or sources. Even historical records of other histories are basically premised on presumptions constructed from sources that are "flawed". My sense is that all history is based on presumptions made from the little information unearthed.
He pretty much implicate this,.. th-cam.com/video/4EaopH_EPfc/w-d-xo.html
Yes, this is steeped in modernist/rationalist assumptions that determine the frame of inquiry
Tom Holland's documentary "Islam: The Untold Story" was heavily criticized by scholars and experts for its numerous inaccuracies and factual errors.
One of the most significant inaccuracies was Holland's assertion that there was no archaeological evidence to support the traditional Islamic account of the life of Prophet Muhammad. Holland claimed that no physical evidence of Muhammad's existence or the early Islamic community had been found, and suggested that this was evidence that the traditional Islamic account of Muhammad's life was a later fabrication.
However, this claim was widely refuted by scholars and experts. Islamic studies professor Jonathan Brown, for example, wrote in a review of the documentary that Holland's claim "reflects a rather bizarre ignorance of the field of early Islamic history and archaeology."
Brown explained that while there is relatively little archaeological evidence from the early Islamic period, there is abundant written evidence from the time that supports the traditional Islamic account of Muhammad's life and the early Islamic community.
Other experts also pointed out factual errors in Holland's documentary, such as his claim that the Kaaba in Mecca was originally a Christian shrine, and his suggestion that the early Islamic conquests were primarily motivated by economic gain rather than religious ideology.
In response to the criticism, Holland issued a statement in which he acknowledged that some of his claims had been "unhelpfully phrased" and expressed regret for any offense caused. However, he maintained that the central thesis of his documentary remained valid.
Overall, the controversy surrounding Holland's documentary highlights the importance of careful and rigorous scholarship when exploring complex historical topics like the origins and development of Islam.

So much internal repetition. Seems each scene and clip is reused three or four or more times in the course of the flick. Could be edited down to 20 min. or less with no loss of content.
"For the first 100 years after the founding of "Islam", none of the Mosques "Qibla" faced towards "Mecca", for the first 120 years of Islamic history, none of the surrounding Nations knew about the existence of "Mecca", the word "Mecca" appears only once in the Quran, the most revered site was referred to as "Mashjd al Haram", "forbidden gathering place". The Al Aqsa Mosque "Qibla" does not point to "Mecca", the Khirbat al Mafja Mosque built 724 AD, 103 years after the founding of "Islam", its "Qibla" does not point to "Mecca", all Mosques built in first 100 years after founding of "Islam", pointed to Petra in Jordan... There is no record of "Muhammad" being "born in Mecca", the Quran describes "Gardens, Orchards, Fields" surrounding "Muhammad's birth place", soil tests have shown that there have never been fertile ground around "Mecca"...to the West, Northern Africa, Spain, the Umayyad-(traditionallists) built Mosques facing Petra, in Iraq, to the East, the Abbasid-(reformers) built Mosques facing "Mecca", 683 AD Ibn Zubayr destroyed the original "Kaaba" in Petra....."

I'm not sure what I expected from this at the start, but what I found was that spending over an hour telling someone that there is no evidence for something can be pretty boring.
Counting can put you to sleep. Counting money changes that. If you debate islam v Christianity, this is gold.
I can`t believe that Tom hasn`t mentioned Medina throughout this documentary, even though all of the Korans surahs are divided into the Meccan(surahs that were revealed anytime before the migration or the Hijra) and the Medinan suras, that are those supposed revelations that occurred after the migration to the city of that name. Mecca is(and was I suppose) barren, while Medina IS much greener, with fertile soil to grow fruits and vegetables.
Exactly.
Precisely, Tom Holland's idea is that if Islam was passed off as having appeared in Medina or in another place close to Jewish and Christian influences, that would make Islam less original and there would be nothing miraculous to convert to him. Presenting Islam as being born in the depths of the Sahara far from any religious influence would give more credit to this religion as being a divine revelation.
It doesn't fit the descriptions, however. It has no olive trees, for instance - how do you explain that?
@@alialmunguy316 it would, if it were. However, all you need to do is do some source criticism to rule that out.
He came to this study with an attitude there's nothing he gone get. He doesn't even know the surahs are devided into two and goes ahead as far as Israel to place the context of the Quran SMH!
After a while in I couldn’t wait to read the comments, wasn’t disappointed
Profound.... so much to learn, process and understand. Nice balance in providing content and context for consideration. Excellent video for those reasons...well done sir.
Emotionally driven and unbiased way of researching, if you have at least bothered yourself to look the prophet wasn’t at all a bedouin or nomad neither were most of his companions, but you needed that image to strengthen your argument and belittling the subject. I’m not even discussing the topic of the prophet lifestyle and history recordings which are authenticated throughout a strictly scientific standards more than any previous nation even more detailed than the history of America which almost a century later and i can give you all the resources and evidences you need . Me not the bedouins of Jordan whom they had nothing to do the prophet’s life. Don’t make a joke of yourself speaking of science yet desperately misleading the audience
when I was a child, I believed in Islam as the best, peaceful religion as we were told to believe. As I grow up in and saw the reality and history, now I am certain that there is and never was. ALL LIES! made up stories. I hope one day the world wake up and ignore this madness of God and their religion and all other lies. I am sure that the world face two most dangerous treat!

THIS IS THE TOO-OFTEN-UNTOLD STORY
It’s hard to believe that after 1,400 years anything remains to be said about Muhammad, Islam’s texts, and Muslim history.
First, Muhammad said he got the Qur'ān privately from an angel in a cave.
When he nevertheless found that he was making only a small impact in Mecca, in 622 he left for Yathrib with some fellow emigrants-Islam’s Hijrah-changed Yathrib’s name to Medina, and embarked on a different route to influence: war, which has remained Islam’s way ever since (though Muslims are certainly on a peace offensive now, apart from their war in Africa’s Sahel).
“The Apostle...struck whoever turned his back to (God) until he came to Islam, willingly or grudgingly” (Islam’s first caliph, Abu Bakr, quoted in al-Tabari's History of the Prophets and Kings”). Grudgingly, huh?
An interviewer in 2011 asked Ahmad Abu Quddum “So we are commanded to fight in order to spread the religion of Allah?”
“Yes,” he said, “this is Islam’s way of spreading.”
In his new home, Muhammad drew up a Constitution of Medina that made him the town’s leading citizen. Meanwhile he fought a series of battles, offensive and defensive, including 627’s Battle of the Trench-a siege, really-after which he personally beheaded at least 600 men and a woman of Medina’s Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe for not supporting him.
“The Messenger of Allah...slaughtered 700 people-that is our Prophet and our religion” (TH-cam’s Abu Muhammad Ar Rusi).
While in Medina, Muhammad sat in judgment of a man who’d killed his children’s mother for having slandered Muhammad, who found the man not guilty: “Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood” (Abu Dawud 5:4361, a canonical hadith).
In early 630, Muhammad triumphantly returned to Mecca at the head of an army. He died there in June 632.
So what do Islam’s texts say? They are extensive, but include
Qur'ān 2:2, which discourages THINKING about the Qur'ān: “This is the Book about which there is no doubt.”
Qur'ān 2:285 makes the point clearer still: “We hear and we obey.”
And Qur'ān 5:101-02 adds “Do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you....A people before you...became disbelievers on account of them.”
So what is Muslims’ mandate? Qur'ān 2:251 says “And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted....” (The brackets are in the translation.) Qur'ān 2:216 has Muhammad saying “Fighting is enjoined on you.” And Bukhari 4:52:311 has him saying “When you are called by the Muslim ruler for jihād fighting, you should go forth immediately.”
And Muslims’ defense of Islam is to be brutal. Qur'ān 5:33 says “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides.”
Qur'ān 8:67 says “It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allah's enemies] in the land” (brackets of which are in the translation), which makes of Muhammad a brutal man of war.
Indeed, Qur'ān 9:3 says “Allah and His Apostle are free from liability to the idolaters.”
Quickly then, Qur'ān 9:5 says “When the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush,” a clear exhortation to premeditated murder.
Finally, in 712, eighty years after Muhammad’s death, al-Hajjaj bin Yousef cited Qur'ān 47:4’s “O True believers, when you encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads” to justify a slaughter of thousands in Brahmanabad, far up the Indus River valley.
But does that typify Muslim history?
Muslims invaded India, not the reverse; Persia, not the reverse; the Byzantine Empire (including Syria and Egypt), not the reverse; Africa’s Maghreb, not the reverse; Europe, not the reverse; and fought the Chinese on the Talas River, far from Arabia.
“The Mohammedan Conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history,” wrote Will Durant (1885-1981).
And in 636-37, Muslims besieged and took Jerusalem, to which they had no claim aside from arrogance.
Moreover, to this very hour, no one has ever invaded Arabia’s Hejaz, which embraces both Mecca and Medina.
Have Muslim jihādis misunderstood Islam? Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), a Muslim sociologist admired in the West, once summarized Muslims’ obligations this way:
“In the Muslim community, the holy war is a duty because of...[the obligation to] convert everyone to Islam either by persuasion or by force....The other groups did not have a universal mission, so the holy war was not a religious duty to them....All of them are unbelief. This is clearly stated in the noble Qur'an. [To] discuss or argue those things with them is not up to us. It is [for them to choose among] conversion to Islam, payment of the poll tax [jizya], or death.”
Abul A'la Maududi (1903-1979) wrote "The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power in this world that tries to get in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy....The believers [are] under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life."
And in 2015, Abu Bakar Bashir said “If the West wants to have peace, then they must accept Islamic rule.”
That, then, is what the world is up against and what much of the world is loath to face. It’s also what humanity MUST face if it’s to survive.
“Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error” (Muhammad, quoted at Abu Dawud 3:4590).
Mohammed was just another “Joesph Smith” who was discontented with the religions of his day, so he borrowed from several religions and made up the rest claiming “private revelation”. It gained for him a lot of power- which further bolstered his pride and insanity.
I believe their egos make Muhammad compare more closely with Donald Trump than with any other contemporary or recent figure.
That sums up all religions.
@@michaelbattenfield4100Perhaps Mohammed was role model for Joseph Smith.
Mohammed was a shepherd, merchant, prophet, rebel, war lord and theocratic despot.
Mohammed had plenty of wifes, but he had no living sons. The death of the prophet and the betrayal of her trusted men are also silent history. Fatima's children and Ali were brutally silenced.

When Muslims conquered Persia they let them rule the empire, minting coins was done by the Persians and Arabs did not know how to make them. That's why they have no coins. Also we know that glorifying Muhammad and making paintings was forbidden so a coin with his name is probably haram. The more I watch the more I see that the researcher doesn't have enough knowledge about Islam.
We've all heard about it being the religion of peace! We also know actions speak louder than words!

Very fascinating. It's very surprising that there is no written description of the religion of the Arabic conquerors of Jerusalem. Interesting that they targeted the Temple Mount. The coin was very fascinating as well. I'm not an archaeologist, but why is someone allowed to handle an artifact like that with their bare hands?
That's the strange thing. I am always watching historical and archeology documentaries and I've never actually seen that with something that old (touching it with bare hands). Maybe they can with coins. Idk. I don't remember seeing people touching coins at all. Just looking at them in their cases

As used in Scripture, the word "blasphemy" means expressing something disrespectful or evil about God. Among the worst forms of blasphemy are those which twist sacred truths about God into lies.

The Bible is 66 books written by 40 different authors. It has a common message throughout. Mohammad was in Medinah for decades, it was part of a trade route, for many years Christians and Jews past through. He was heavily influenced by both. The Quran was written only by him, some of that influence is visble in his writings. The dead sea scrolls validate the Bible. The Quran has no such validation

I have always been fascinated by the notions that Mt Sinai the Christian monastery is there, and I have a book called “Where Moses Walked”.
Sinai is where God spoke. Sinai is where God stopped talking. Then I realized that guess what? If God is God? God is everywhere and don’t have to pay admission to be close to God.
1 Corinthians 3:16 “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” So we don’t need to pay admission or go on a hadj or pilgrimage to the Holy Land to be close to God. God is everything, everywhere and in every believer.
True enough, as He is omnipresent. But many Christians enjoy visiting the Holy Land where our Lord lived. LIkewise, Muslims enjoy making the journey to Mecca. It's no different (for them).

This is actually ridiculous 😅. Holland seems to visit people, places not to inquire but ask how what they say relate to what he presumes. He literally gives his own meaning to what he finds out.
Literarily, he talks about Islam without using any Arabic text as reference, that was his biggest blunder
While I think the questions he asks about the early historicity of Islam are important and useful, so so much about some the things he says just reaks of eurocentrism and a certain type of white superiority complex. It comes out when he speaks about other empires and compares them to largely Western/Christian ones. So terrible

I lived in The Kindom of Saudi Arabia for just over 3 years as a civilian just After Retiring from the United States Air Force Feb 28, 1994. My story starts with the Gulf War of Desert Storm for which i was originaly assigned to deploy from Okinawa in Dec 1990 to Jeddah, KSA (Kindom of Saudi Arabia). But i did not deploy until just before the end of Desert Storm and the beginning of Desert Calm to Riyahd, KSA. And then Returning to Okinawa in July 1991 after having deployed to Daharahn, KSA.
Now fast forward to my civilian time living in Jeddah, KSA. working for Lockheed/Martin on the Royal Saudi Airforce Base in Jeddah from Dec. 1995- Feb. 1999. Having experienced life living in the Kindom of Saudi Arabia these years is just as confusing to myself as it is now to all of you in this documentary.

Mohammad is mentioned clearly in the Quran , Surah Alfath , verse 29, and it says:
Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allāh and [His] pleasure. Their sign is in their faces from the effect of prostration [i.e., prayer].
Also it would be more objective to bring an Islamic Theology scholar to present the Islamic view on this, with all respect to prof. Nasr , but he is more of a philosopher and we needed a theology point of view as well.

We should refrain from any kind of respect for so called sacred places, persons, books, revellations etc. Instead we ought to draw them into the clear light of historical research, investigation and enquiery. If the result is that there is'nt anything to know about it because of lack of evidence and proof, then there is no reason to mystify things. People are just people and so was Abraham, Jesus and Mohamed. And as far as we know God does'nt write or dictate books, commandments etc. Its all manmade, all religions derives from human immagination, fear, and the desire to miracleize things.

"The evidence shows that equality of the sexes is destructive."
"Let's have a debate on if freedom of speech and religion is good for society."
"Could it be that women need fewer rights?"

I haven’t watched it yet, but all I know is there would be a lot more peace in the world if Islam never came into existence.
The story is hampered by the fact that Arabs of that day did not keep written records. That came only later. So of course there is not a paper trail, showing the circumstances of Islam's rise. But to then offer your opinion as definitive, that Islam arose from the Arab empire, is imposing your version on a story where there is no documentation, either way. It's historical malpractice, in other words.
It's true that Mecca became the focus many years later. The niches in the very first mosques were pointed at Petra, according to another account. That gave birth to a theory that Mohammed was from there, being a trader, and Petra being a trading center. And Mecca has literally no archeology at all, which is strange, and difficult to reconcile with the Koran. But something united the Arabs before they could become an empire. This was no small thing - they were famous for inter-tribal wars. To this point, I haven't seen anything that would disprove the standard narrative - that it was the rise of this new religion, brought about by Mohammed. Only the lack of a paper trail, which you'd expect, given who the people were.
Muhammed travelled to Syria with caravans
There is written evidence from that very era up to this day. There is no any other religion which has pure authentic and unadulterated records than Islam.
Mr. Tom Jelinek , your comment is logic, but Islam has nothing to do with Petra at all , it was on the way of the caravans. I think Jay smith came up with this one, that most of the mosques I mean the Qibla was directed towards south-east /west from the north of Arabia , we had no astronomers at that time too to have the Qibla direction towards Mecca 🕋 accurately, see nowadays mosques 🕌 for instance. Petra was nothing after the Roman conquest in the 1st century AD . It was inhabited by Arabs , the remnants of Thamud. By the way , Mecca still have many archeological sites , but unfortunately after conquest of Ibn Saud in 1925 , many of these sites were destroyed, some graves of the companions of prophet Muhammad se still there especially the great wife of prophet Muhammad PBUH who shared him the very first moments after he received the first revelation of Quran. My greetings.🌹
@ yaania rasheed , Arabs knew many names of a thing , they are “linguists by nature “ even before Islam, one of the Arab linguists named “Al’Asma’i” knew more than 50 names for the “Stone” 😁, I knew bedouins who still use different names of the stone, like , Mangula, Gla’aa, and still “in their mother Arab dialect” ,unbelievably, amazingly use metaphor . The way they point to things and the way they describe them, it’s like magic.
Even if there is a written trail, can you still believe everything that got to be written? I mean most of Roman history and life were written by those who could access education, or you can say the Elites. They never tell you what's like being the normies or even slaves.

@@naveedsolangi8704 the proper word mentioned in the holy Quran is Bacca, which means weeping place and this refers to Petra in Jordan !
@@praneshramachandran8745 Can you prove that Brother?
The conclusion is simplistic. The Prophet somewhat acquired a couple of texts from the Jewish religion and Christianity while traveling as a merchant around Syria, and took them all way back to somewhere in the Arabia desert. There he constructed the book by editing those texts. When he died many had converted but not sure where was the 'somewhere' so early mosques have diverse directions. Many years later some big warlords decided to be as cool as Roman emperors and felt like a cool religion was needed. The current holy city was designated as the original 'somewhere' and everyone in the following hundreds of years who doubted the decision was either killed or banished.
Thats why, its very diffrent and more logical to correct old versions of the same message, its an upgraded version of the same religion I think

4.50, wrong already. Istanbul was not the capital of the Roman empire, it was always Rome.
But wen the Roman empire was divided into two, or better, collapsed, Istanbul was the -capital- of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Since i am not allowed to post links,youtube considers this advertising, i just copied a few lines from WIKI.
Following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the late 5th century, Constantinople remained the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire; 330-1204 and 1261-1453), the Latin Empire (1204-1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453-1922
That is true. There were two competing capitals.

That means I am the God

Your other references to historical accuracy didn't even show a connection with the Quran.
Your mention of Hirayrah is somewhat strange to me, in all honesty. There are some Islamic scholars, who quote him as being a liar. Saying much of his work was stolen from others. Also, that he was a later convert, and spent little time with Muhammed. As well as criticism by Aisha and Umar. Many point out that Umar even with the physically assaulted him.

'Umar) that the Messenger of moon elah Al'lah (may peace be upon him) observed: Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole.
@Game Of Web Again, you are not addressing what I actually said. Apparently it's more important for you to make up your own "version" of what I said.
Also, you are assuming that the person never talked to anyone that was "arab" or "Muslim", simply because you did not see it in the video? That's absurd on numerous levels.
I have no idea what documentary you are referring to on the "life" of Jesus. But, I will say all the ones that I have seen, offer no factual evidence on a historical life of Jesus. Simply speculation based on religious texts. Which are nothing more than historical narratives.
Your reference about someone mentioning some person, named Muhammed, who taught something, offers very little to support your argument. It's really no different than someone in the 1st century CE mentioning a person named Claudius, who was a store owner. Very common.
Your counter arguments are too emotional. You aren't taking the time to put together a coherent comment, that actually support your stance, with anything substantial. All you have really offered is emotion based snippets, that do nothing to actually refute the video.
@@skellingtonmeteoryballoon So you're commenting to the other person?
Whoever added that retalier, item barcode scanning sound effect, needs to be left alone in the worlds quietest room, with only that sound effect playing the same number of times it plays here.
" you can't accept Muslims history, but you can't reject it either" that sounds too Christian.....i cant imagine what would be like " history" if we apply the same standards to other "matters" especially Christianity
Calling this "the untold story" is a stretch to say the least
Yeah? where have you heard this version of it before?
Maybe it is not told by the first Muslims. Anyway they only believed what they are told.
