It is obvious that there is a 'missing link', which Muslims don't like to admit exists, between the historical environment in the 7th century, and that which the 9th-10th Century's SIN scenario leaves us. Too often the Standard Islamic Narrative (SIN) simply gets the wrong people in the wrong places doing the wrong things and at the wrong times.
However, since Muslims don't think this is a problem, we are going to have to solve it for them.
Odon has been listening to your questions about this very problem in the description boxes, and wants to help many of you who are confused concerning who exactly were all these groups of people who had an influence on the origins of Islam between the 7th century and the 9th century.
Consequently, in this episode he has returned to define and discuss (using the Qur'an as his source) who the main players were, and how they helped to create Islam as we know it today.
You may not agree with Odon's descriptions and analysis, and may think he is wrong in his assumptions for that which he considered happened in the 7th - 8th centuries.
Perhaps you feel that he has misconstrued what the Qur'an was actually saying, or misinterpreted the peoples described in its pages.
If so, tell us why in the comment box below, and Odon will look at your comments and if they are important or valid he will come back to you with his rejoinders.

This has to be one of the most enlightening hour and a half of my life. Thank you, Odon, for your research, and for compiling and presenting all the materials. It really does make sense. For someone who has always questioned the Standard Islamic Narrative, and trying yet failing to reconcile how the Islamic faith could be anything but an enemy to the Christian faith. It was always inconsistent how the standard narrative would paint the polytheists being the mutual enemies, with their initial Jewish and Christian allies (People of the Book), and later were warred upon after "betrayal" and breaking of treaties. I live in a Muslim majority country, where defending your faith against Muslim theological attacks can be seen as an insult to the Islamic faith. Thank you, Jay and Odon.

It would be interesting to see if some Muslims accept the revisionist history of Islam but try to keep the metaphysical claims. I’ve seen Mormons do this. They take some of the cutting edge theories in pseudo-physics like the possibility of multiple/infinite universes and apply it to the Mormon concept of many Gods of many planets.

As a man who grew up devouring every episode of Tintin or "Kuifje" as I knew the series more than 50 years ago I love seeing Odon and his pipe. I feel like I stepped into the series. Great work Odon. It's important and constructive to study the historical Mohammed and the early Muslims. Something for good reasons the historians are afraid to do. But the world simply has to take a critical look and analyze the ideology if it is to face it effectively. To me the analogies between 20th century national socialist ideology and islam are more than obvious. Imagine if the natsees (misspellings intentional) had been successful and the followers eventualy deify their leader Hytler. Their holy books are filled with inhumane horrors much the way the core-ann is filled with morally repugnant deeds, but for fear of retribution no one dares to point them out or take a look at the early founders of the religion in the early 20th century. Then 1400 years later a man like Odon comes along looking at the historical evidence and begins to demystify the great prophet Hytler. This is pretty much what brave modern scholars are starting to do and I am so happy about that. Too long has this evil ideology been shielded from criticism.

That was a fantastic episode. Kept my interest for the whole 90 minutes. Linguistic forensics is done all the time to the Bible, so it's great to see it applied to Islam. BTW, please tell Odon that his "Quranic Nazarene" term was not difficult for all of us. I understood the first time I heard you say it, it's Nazarenes in the world of the Quran. Similar to a Dickensian peasant or a Shakespearean villainess. A type of character endemic to a genre. If we treat the Quran as a piece of literature, we can probably squeeze more out of it. Thanks Jay and Odon.

I think I am definitely agreeable to what Odon has explained. There is not anything new to my understanding of the topic except the places and geographical setting, which Jay has been trying to expose that there is no reference whatsoever to Mecca in Saudi Arabia--- the proposition that I myself am wondering.

Immanuel Christ Iesous already returned, just as He promised. He returned to the original problematic "jerusalem," and stomped on the ieuds until His garments were saturated with their blood. The sacerdotal fortified city of peace (a jerusalem) in the East was founded in the early 4th century AD, at a small ruined fort. You're saying the Qhaz arrived in the later 4th century AD, just after the j😢4rerusalem was founded. They were literally contradicting Our Lord, so liars and murderers, just as He tells us. They were probably plotting to seize the Christian city and do exactly what they're doing now. They claim to be "jews, but do lie." Oddly that word, "jew" was selectively added to the Holy Bible in the 18th century AD to confuse the unlearned. "Romans" are "the people of the Prince," Our Lord. None of the 3 "judahs" call themselves Ioudaios. Christ's royal line goes through to the royal lines of Greece and Persia to the judahites being called "Romans." They fulfilled prophecy when they ended the ieuds' AntiChrist Kingdom. They also rescued the few who weren't beheaded at the altar and cannibalized. Further, they protected the family and friends of Our Lord from the ieuds who sought to murder them. Most of the apostles are buried in Europe, as is Abram. Ioudaois were randoms, "those who inhabit," a geopolitical district called a judea or a iudeoRUM. There are many judeas and jerusalems, but the one in the Syrian desert is not Biblical Jerusalem. In fact, that Egypt isn't Biblical Egypt. That is Aeria, which was renamed Egypt by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC. Biblical Jerusalem, Egypt, Syria, D'imasq, Persia, Babylon, Eden, etc. are elsewhere. The promised Jerusalem is located by Rome, which was previously called, "The City." It is the city which established the hiero/heavenly peace/pax/salem. The Holy Bible describes lands which in no way match the present lands.

Should he have existed as a preacher (or one of the preachers) of what would become the Quran, we now know he was not preaching on his own, he was part of a group composed of Jewish-Nazarenes religious teachers and Arab preachers, that preached to some Arabs.

It is also impressive that the original Hebrew root was preserved in so many languages ( cover in English, couvrir in French).

This is an hypotheses suggested by the Lebanese scholar Joseph Azzi (Abu Musa al Hariri): the Nazarenes (Quranic Nazarenes) might be the ancestors of the Alawites (their Arabic name: Nosaïri, meaning "little Nazarenes") The Alawite territories in Syria are the same as the Nazarene's. One could find in the Alawatie creed (a very mysterious and secret creed) some common ground with the Nazarene creed But apart from this (name+territories+very far fetched conjecture about a common creed), we have nothing. This is not very much to establish a relationship between Nazarenes and Alawites. But it is nonetheless an interesting and audacious hypotheses.

I sounds like Odon is some way down that path already.

Good video Thank you for your efforts Nevertheless, Surah 9 contains a lot of confusion, even in relation to the traditional Islamic narrative. We find that verse 30 of the same Surah makes Jews and Christians equally polytheists. On the other hand, in this surah, there is a verse that breaks all the conditions that were adopted in the process of collecting the Qur’an, one of the simplest (there must be at least two witnesses in order for the verses that will be added to the Othmaln version to be recognized). But verse 30 of Surah 9 has caused problems to this day, because a Muslim allows himself to marry a Christian or Jewish woman and she has the right to remain in her religion, but she must accept that her children to become exclusively Muslims, ((on the pretext that she is from the People of the Book)). While Muslims do not allow their women to marry a Christian or a Jew, even under the condition that their children to become Muslims, ((because they "Christian & Jewish" are polytheistic)). This is a small part of the racial discrimination practiced against Christians and Jews in Islamic countries, while Muslims who immigrate to the secular West consider it a "legal right to practice these Islamic political traditions.". Unfortunately, Westerners, including most Christians, consider that there is absolutely no problem in marrying their daughters to Muslims or nonchristians in general, on the pretext that it is “personal freedom,” while Eastern Christians consider that this is in addition to being adultery, but it is acceptance of traitors who have joined their enemies but want to live among them, so this matter is completely rejected. And whoever practices it is considered outside his community and must be boycotted.. Rather, this matter was confirmed by the Apostle Paul himself in (Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14).

I agree with Jay: Odon's chart with the shifting meanings of the terms is a significant discovery. But... What I see is that through 640 and the rupture of the failed apocalyptic Temple in Jerusalem Odon does an excellent job of bringing to light the initial motivations and actions of some of the Arabs who were the nucleus of what would become Islam. The correspondence between Nazarene and SIN theology regarding Jesus is striking (was the Messiah, was never crucified, is not God, will come back for the Last Judgment). And given the dating of the Sira, the Hadith and surviving Quran manuscripts, the SIN seems certain to have taken shape in the Abbasid period from 750. But the problem then is the next layer of the onion: the history from 640 to 750. As a French speaker, I have the advantage of having been able to read Odon's book. This leads me to many questions, but I will concentrate on just one: Odon mentions quite favorably the archeological and textual work of Dan Gibson on Petra as the original location of the Kaaba, as described in the Islamic tradition. But in Odon's work the linkage is unclear between qiblas pointed to Petra (which Odon cites) and the Temple built by the original Arab/Nazarene Umma. Gibson, one could say, has largely attempted to rescue the SIN, claiming just one major rewrite, that of the location and identity of Mecca. Given Odon's work on the Nazarenes, this seems to undermine much of Gibson's work: Muhammad, inhabitant of Mecca and recipient of revelations, would not at all constitute the origins of Islam. So, my question is: how did the cult surrounding the black stone come into the religion taking shape among the Believers? Odon, in his book, mentions Zubayr, as does Gibson. Odon agrees with Gibson that one should ascribe to Zubayr the selection of the site of the current Mecca and the transportation of the black stone away from Petra. But Odon does not really describe how a cult arose around Petra and the black stone, so much so that all qibla pointed towards it in the period 640(?)-750. If anything, Odon's work would seem to reinforce the much more widespread belief that the early qiblas point toward Jerusalem and the Temple of the Returned Jesus. After all, Gibson might have made measurement errors or, if Gibson's measurements are accurate, the convergence he found might be a coincidence due to the imprecision of tools from 640-750. Given the reality that the black stone is a part of the SIN, this may be why Odon is ready to incorporate Gibson's work despite the apparent contradiction. It would appear to me that, given the early qiblas, the role of Petra may be larger than Odon has so far acknowledged. The Nazarene communities and the Quraysh communities were scattered in various directions, largely due to trade patterns, and perhaps the historical Muhammad did come from Petra. Perhaps in the period 570-640 the pilgrimage cult of the Nabateans towards Petra remained widespread among Arabs of the Levant and even had become syncretized with nascent Christian beliefs (this is in line with Arabs also being willing to abandon trinitarian theology, as Odon is positing). Perhaps in the aftermath of the failure of Jesus to return, Arabs reverted to pre-Christian belief systems.

I suspect that this coalition was a bit ecumenical, likely recruiting some non-Christian Arabs trying to find common ground between Jerusalem and Petra. When the coalition failed, the Arab believers retooled their beliefs to spin away from Jerusalem, and Petra was like an old comfortable shoe. We know the earliest qibla was Jerusalem, and then Gibson shows it became Petra after some sort of fallout. He wouldn't deny that. So it seems, after the coalition broke, the believers gave up on Jerusalem, spun away from the Jews, and turned to their familiar homeland of Petra. They descended on Petra to make that city the Jerusalem of the Arabs. This is probably where we get the hadiths of Mohammad cleaning out the kaaba. These new Arab believers were trying to legitimize their Arab culture to keep their old culture and make it monotheistic. Lo and behold, they do in fact treat it like a copy of Jerusalem, down to making a qibla for it. All of this actually fits in perfectly with Odon's model. In the fallout, they were in direct competition with Jerusalem, and suddenly "Mohammad" says Jews are the ultimate enemy. It was a polemic to steer believers away from Jerusalem. Gibson and Odon are actually proving each other.

Should there have been a Mecca... We tend to think according to the concepts of the Islamic Narrative. Why should there have been a Mecca? A unique place of origins? When you really look into it, the only reason would be to have a context for the "Prophet" and his prophecies. But we are unveiling this: there was no prophecy, there was no prophet. So is the search for the real Mecca that relevant?

@@OdonLafontaine Thank you for replying. Well yes, it’s entirely possible that there was no prophet or revelations, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that there was no progenitor for the figure Mohammed. I would guess that if there was one he was more warlord than prophet, I understand that there were a number of warrior prophets in the period although the only one I can name is the Berber Prophetess queen of the Berbers. Perhaps he led a group that carried out raiding in the run up to the Arab conquests. The other thing that I wonder about is what happened to the Quresh tribe are they known by another name now. According to Wiki the name does live on as a family name now.

Thank you brother Jay and Odon for this incredible work. I have a question regarding the reading of "mushrikun" in the Quran. How are we to think about passages like 6:137-138, where it appears the SRK root may indeed refer to pagans/polytheists who, for example, offer their children as sacrifices? Or, is this also referring to Trinitarian Christians? God bless.

Busra and the birth of MHMD as described in the Quran are particularly interesting. The story of the light coming from Amina's nethers and pointing to Busra, once during conception and the other time during birth, seems to fits more in the region of As-Sham and Latakia. Bohira (Bohaira) the Monk proclaimed MHMD's special nature during MHMD's caravan stop there. The story didn't come out of nowhere. Bohira could have been a source of not only the sermons discussed in the video, but the origin of MHMD.

Having read the book in French (Le grand secret de l'Islam) a couple of years ago now, I was really glad that Olaf was put in touch with Jay and Mel. One thing that still intrigues me is with respect to point 6 in this video, the Nasaara as mentioned in the Quran, the Nazarenes. The root is ن ص ر that is: n, s (emphatic), r. The same triliteral is found in the name Ansar, the "helpers" whose origin are not really defined. It would seem to me plausible then, that the Nasaara and the Ansar designate the same group, with the Ansar possibly their military wing.

Just looked at Dan Brubaker’s short video addressing those who objected to the portion of his book where he addresses the addition (or corrections) by inserting the word “Allah.”Looks like these are written to change the original wording stating “He” with Allah. If the early writings that later became part of the Koran were actually done with Jewish/Christian influences, then it is easy to understand why the later writers would want “Allah” to appear much sooner than it actually did to connect Allah back to creation.

I was following the work of brother Bruno Bonnet Eymar, on the substrates of the Cor'an. The deepest layer is biblical of the Syriac and Aramaic language, as Luxenberg and others believe. The error that occurs, let alone the RASM was forgotten, the transmitters (8th Century) thought in adding diacriticals and vowels, disrupted the true nature and content, the meaning of the Qur'an. If hopefully, I make sense of my french translation. François Tessier

Being from Nazrath and being a Nazarene at the time of Christ were sort of equivalent. Nazarene at this time meant "descendant of David", and Nazrath was the city of the descendants of David. Knowing this, you understand now how cynic Pilate was when he wrote the "titulus crucis" (notice fastened to the cross), which really meant "Jesus the descendant of David, king of the Judeans". This is why the Judeans protested...

20:47: Ras (رأس) means head or point according to Google translate, not river, which is Nahr (نهر). In the context of the map Ras could mean a point of land sticking out into the sea, for example a headland. I would think the "R." is simply short for River. Nahr is correctly used for river in the map at 20:33, although the name seems to be placed too far North to match the river on the 20:47 map. The R. Korásh must be identical with the present day Nahr al-Khabir al-Shamali, as it is the only river in the area major enough to be named on Google Maps. It flows from the North East towards the South West and into the sea south of Latakia.

Excellent 👍👍👍 Personally I for one belong to the community of Christians in India who trace their origin to Apostle Thomas. Here generally we're called 'nasrani', meaning the follower of Christ. According to our tradition Apostle Thomas established seven and a half churches in Malankara (part of present Kerala state). This church continued till it was discovered by Portuguese in 1498. Thereafter this church divided into Catholic and traditional churches. The resultant non-catholic church came under the Patriarch of Antioch. When British came, under the influence of CMS missionaries in Kottayam District in Kerala, reformation took place followed by a division of the Church into Mar Thoma Church (to which I belong) and the predecessor of the present Orthodox and Jacobite churches. Most of these facts can be seen from the judgments of various courts in the Church cases.

This is my best effort at understanding the change of location of the birth of Islam from Syria to Saudi Arabia. Ibn al Zubayr was a fundamentalist Muslim who warred against what he saw as the immoral expression of Islam under the Umayyads. He made his last stand in Saudi Arabia. He had renewed worship at a holy place presumed to be Mecca but nobody knows for certain yet. He sent his son north to Syria and Persia to fight and spread a message of true Islam against the Umayyads. This attracted the Abbasids in Persia, who saw a chance to defeat the Umayyads on the basis of this ‘righteousness’ and did so in 750AD. My guess is that Ibn al Zubayr had cemented belief in the town in Saudi Arabia as the spiritual centre of Islam, distancing and differentiating it from the sinful centre of Umayyad excess. The Abbasids accepted this for the same reason but never held political residence there. Their power base was in Baghdad. It is alleged, then, that the story of the origin of Islam was transplanted to Mecca as the holy place renewed by Ibn al Zubayr, and Muhammad’s early story, along with the Quraysh tribe he grew up with, moved south to accommodate the new interpretation.

I think Ibn al Zubayr was not a "fundamentalist Muslim" but an illuminate who thought he was himself the Messiah As for the choice of Mecca, keep in mind that it was not chosen at first to be "the spiritual centre of Islam". Up until the end of the 8th cent., (and even the 9th) the Standard Islamic Narrative is not complete yet (so no "revelation", and then no need for a "place of the revelation"). Mecca gradually became this "spiritual centre": - at first as Ibn al Zubayr's place, and the place of the Black Stone - then, when it was conquered by the Umayyads, they first kept it as a "reserve sanctuary" - then it was made into Abraham's place instead of Jerusalem. This happened along the invention of the Islamic Narrative, when Arabs parted with their Nazarenes origins and claimed to be the new "choosen people", instead of the Jews. It could have happened in the 8th cent., before the Abbasids, or after. - then it was made into the Prophet's birthplace, etc. This happened with the developments of the Islamic Narrative - end of 8th cent., and even later.

I appreciate your work, but I'd like to point out a fallacy. From what I understand of history, there have been many pagans who nominally became Christians but, at least to some degree, added Yahweh to their pantheon instead of abandoning their old beliefs completely. This could occur especially easily when people adopted Christianity for political or economic reasons rather than because of being fully persuaded that Christianity was right and their old beliefs were wrong. The argument that the traditional Islamic interpretation of the mushrikun could not be right because of the distinction between monotheism and polytheism is based on a false (or at least potentially false) assumption that everyone who believes in God/Allah will also accept the accompanying teachings that He is the only God.

Then why name him Allah, which means "the One God"? You may add another divinity to an existing pantheon, but not one that is supposed to be unique and whose very name says so. This Allah name was also the name used by the Arab Christians (note the semantic proximity with the Hebrew Elohim). Besides, the demonstration that mushrikun were actually Christians is also based on other complementary arguments: - this is the exact same accusation that the one made by rabbinical Jews towards Christians (eg tampering the adoration of the One God by giving him Jesus and the Holy Ghost as "associates", with the same SRK words) - Christians are nowhere else to be found (almost) in the Quran but for those "shirk" accusations - Quranic mushrikun react as Christians, and believe in the One God - The mushrikun-Christian meaning make a lot of contextual sense for a renewed reading of the Quran. It solves many contradictions of the traditional islamic reading - There were no pagan-polytheists to be found in the 7th cent. No evidence has been found of active Arab pagan cults. Thousands of evidence has been found of active Arab Christian or Jewish cults

If one accepts this, there seems to be a major mismatch between the desert armies that broke out of deep Arabia and conquered the Middle East in a couple of decades and the origins of Islam. It seems that their early military success may have predated their contact or adoption of Islam, the origin of which was to their more settled north. It looks like they conquered the birthplace of Islam and adopted it en route.
