Thomas Aquinas Critique of Muhammad and Islam

In this video, we delve into the writings of the Angelic Doctor of the Church, Thomas Aquinas, particularly his work "Summa Contra Gentiles," where he critiques the teachings of Islam and its Prophet Muhammad. Aquinas argues against the promises of carnal pleasures and the commandments that align with such desires, as stated in the Quran and Hadiths. He further critiques Muhammad's mixing of truth with fables, the lack of supernatural signs to validate his prophethood, and the forceful means by which Islam spread.

We explore specific Quranic verses and Hadiths that Aquinas cites, such as Surah 4, Ayah 24 and Surah 5, Ayah 110, and discuss the implications of these teachings. Additionally, we examine Aquinas' assertion that Muhammad's followers were not wise men but were compelled by force and desire.

Join us as we uncover Aquinas' detailed arguments and his ultimate conclusion that Islam should not be followed by those seeking the truth. If you enjoy this analysis and want to see more, please like, subscribe, and consider becoming a member to support the channel. As always, God bless.
