Why the Historical Critique Matters to Islam with Jay Smith

There is more than one way to show Islam is false. One can criticize the moral character of Muhammad (as portrayed by the hadith). One can show the internal contradictions. One can explore the logical problems of believing the Quran comes from God. But perhaps the best critique of all is to show Islam's history is fake - if the Quran isn't what Muslims claim or Muhammad isn't who Muslims claim, then there is no Islam. Jay Smith of Pfander Films joins me live to explain why Christians should care about Islam's (fake) history.

Great collab, Dr. jay smith historical critique is devastating to Islam god bless both of you 🙏🏼

[donquixote]

G-d bless you Thaddeus. You always bring me to tears starting with your lovely prayer.

[danieladedosugbadero]

You are treasure troves to all humans who desire to know the truth regardless of whether they have a faith allegiance or not. GBU both.

[rockzalt]

Great discussion! Jay's sort of like a walking Encyclopedia or like a chatGPT. Ask a question and out pops a relevant reply.

[IslamicOrigins]

Amazing that Jay's wife was key to lead him onto mission work with Islam. I never knew that.

[philippbrogli]

The thing I enjoyed the most is the prayer at the end. It showed the character of Jay.

[miovicdina]

Jay Smith is extremely important for understanding the very beginnings of what is today called Islam.
The results of his scientific research in the field of the history of the first versions of the Quran and "Islam" in 6th-7th-8th century Arabian Peninsula and today's Israel/Palestine/Jordan is mind-blowing, eye opening, shocking. It will change your whole perspective on Islam.
Everything by professor J Smith on YouTube is a must watch. Must hear.

[horseman]

I get the reason why the founders of Islam called for hate and violence against the critics. They knew it was all deception. It was a good tool for subjugation but the wonder is how an educated person of today stays enslaved therein! Hard work is needed!

[watchmantodayreloaded]

I downloaded Creating the Quran from a link from one of Lloyd's videos. I've just started working my way through it.

[Stardust]

Always appreciate and value the prayer you begin with in every livestream.

16:20 so encouraging about the Angels.
I have been praying for Bob and Chris and our other warriors at SC for some time, but have just been inspired to pray for angels to attend to protect

[johnblake]

More great content Thaddeus. Love hearing from Jay. Thaddeus your patience and generosity distinguishes your channel from every other youtube.

[samuelflores]

God bless you Both and your ministry! Please continue to Spread the Truth of islaaam, the religion of No Holiness, No Righteousness and No Salvation! Jesus is Lord and the Only Way to the Father!

[karenthompson]

If orality works so well why did Allah have His Koran on tablets? Why wasn’t the Koran just an attribute 🤔

[qgdertyuiojh]

The two Muhammads, i.e. the Jewish Muhammad and the "John of Damascus" Muhammad are new to me. I definitely have to look into that. Oh my word - This is GREAT STUFF !!!

[muskyoxes]

Any religion that doesn't let you leave is not even worth a glance
