I like Mr Juan Cole. It’s good attempt, but it’s typical look at Islam with western glasses. Prophet Mohamed met Christian delegations in Mecca or Medina. You can’t just ignore information from Islamic sources and then make false assumptions that Prophet Mohamed knew Greek or Aramaic.

I don't think that Dr. Cole is dishonest, but you get the sentiment that the Prophet Muhammad basically took inspiration and data from everybody around copying from the Bible,Torah and wrote the Qur'an. He spoke several languages and was constantly visiting again everybody around is just nonsense. All revelations came from One and the same God so it's only natural that the monotheistic scriptures resembles one another.

"I am translating Kafir as Pagan but I can't prove it", How about when Quran calls Jews and Christians Kafir? Kafir is a general term, which means: those who cover up (the truth). In general sense those who covered up the truth of Islam, not Islam that is started with Muhammad (pbuh), but Islam as the original one religion that was revealed to the Prophets and Jews and Christians covered it up with theology that they made up over a period of time. I think that is a proper understanding. I am just loving epistemological humility, which is a common theme among the orientalists (sarcasm intended). I compare them with Islamic scholars those giving durus in Madina and I find these guys so simplistic.

[@freecopt4003]

you do not understand what word Kaffir means. In Islam world is divided in 2 section the believers and Koffar the pleural word of Kaffir and v Kavir does not mean cover it means the one who does not believe in Allah not God and his prophet Mohamed and accepted the sharia law and those either the convert to Islam or be ki ed as Jews or Christians can pay the penalty or the neck sacrifice that you pay in humility or br ki ed.

Interesting lecture but I wonder how the professor would square his idea that the prophet Muhammad went around the near east, had contact with other cultures and religions and that he knew other languages with the fact that the Quran and hadith for that matter are all in Arabic and in a very hijazi style.

@Rodney James Genesis 25:1-2. "Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him zimran, and Joksham, and Medan, and Midian and Ishbak, and Shuah". Although, true son's of Abraham they to were not part of the covenant with Abraham.

[@liban4679]

@Rodney James Genesis 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you : behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. Genesis 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you and to your seed after you. Genesis 21:13 And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is your seed. Genesis 21:17 And God heard the voice of the lad. And the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth you , Hagar? Fear not. For God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Gen 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in your hand. For I will make him a great nation.

@@pfarquharson1 It might be said that the covenant is with Isaac only as the Bible says: Genesis 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto you at this set time in the next year. Well, this was in the beginning, then it was transferred to Ishmael’s descendants, Jesus said to the Jews that the kingdom of God shall be taken away from them: Matthew 21:43 therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Calling Ishmael as a fruitful, that he shall have a great nation is very clear in praising him, otherwise, if God knew that a false prophet came from his descendants where a great nation followed him, why did He describe this nation to be great? Also the nation Jesus told here doesn’t mean the Christian nation, God said that the sign of the covenant between him and the descendants of Abraham shall be the circumcision, which should be one of the fruits of the kingdom of God: Geesisn 17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised… 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. So it clearly tells that the sign of this covenant is circumcision, this covenant is everlasting and that the one who don’t circumcise breaks God’s covenant, which Muslims already do while according to Christians , Paul cancelled circumcision. Muslims are the real followers of Abraham. The Bible says: Genesis 12:3 and I will bless them that bless you, and him that curseth you will I curse: and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Muslims bless Abraham at least 5 times a day in their prayer. At the end of every prayer, a Muslim must say: “O Allah! send your Salat (Blessings, Graces, Honors and Mercy) on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You sent Your Salat on Abraham and the family of Abraham. O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You sent Your Blessings on Abraham and the family of Abraham. You are Praiseworthy, Most Gracious.” So if Muslims bless Abraham, the Bible says that God blesses who bless him, how come the followers of a false prophet be blessed by God?

[@pfarquharson1]

@@liban4679 After Genesis 17:20, come s Genesis 21 "But my covenant will i establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year" So, the Covenant was with Isaac. after Genesis 17:7, comes Genesis 17:8 in which God tells Abraham where the covenant people live: "And i will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and i will be their God". In Genesis 21:13, 21:17 and 21:18. God promised Ishmael to make him a great nation and father twelve princes. But God's Covenant was with Isaac, not Ishmael..
