The Fantasy Islam of the University of Chicago’s Fred Donner (Part 3)

By

In this final part we will be concluding our examination of Donner’s book Muhammad and the Believers at the Origins of Islam. All major events occurred on the same date and day of the week – just different years? On p. 51 Donner made this claim to support his concerns about the accuracy of the […]

The Fantasy Islam of the University of Chicago’s Fred Donner (Part 2)

By

In Part 1, we looked at Donner’s book Muhammad and the Believers at the Origins of Islam and saw that Donner’s premise of an ecumenical “Believers’ movement” founded by Muhammad was not supported by fact. In Part 2 we will look at more misinformation in Donner’s book. Five prayers a day was established after Muhammad’s […]

The Fantasy Islam of the University of Chicago’s Fred Donner (Part 1)

By

A few years ago we saw the release of a book by Fred M. Donner titled Muhammad and the Believers at the Origins of Islam.

Robert Spencer: Linda Sarsour Says ‘My Beloved Prophet Muhammad Was a Human Rights Activist’

Only if Jews, women, and all non-Muslims do not count as humans.

Women’s rights activist says “Islam improves status of women”

By

They have to keep telling us, because only by constant repetition can propagandists compel people to discard the truth and embrace the lie. The author of this piece, Saadah Khair, is described here as an “activist, International Women’s Alliance for Family and Quality Education.” The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should […]

Linda Sarsour: “My beloved Prophet Muhammad was an activist. He was a human rights activist.”

By

Muhammad was a human rights activist? Do Jews count as humans? The Qur’an depicts the Jews as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181, 5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging […]

Islamic “reformer”: “Islamic orthodoxy deviated from its foundations by abrogating the peaceful verses of the Quran”

By

Juan Cole’s book about Muhammad is a work of fantasy. “Cole offers an ambitiously revisionist picture of the father of Islam, replacing the idea of a militant leader with one of a peacemaker who wanted only to preach his monotheism freely and even sought ‘multicultural’ harmony.” Great, except Muhammad wasn’t really a seeker after “multicultural” […]

Christian leader meets Middle East rulers: “We want what it was like when Muhammad was alive, a pluralistic region”

Says Johnnie Moore: “All we want is for what it was like when the Prophet Muhammad himself was alive, which was a very pluralistic region. There were Christians and Jews, there were synagogues and there were churches.” Yes, but what happened to them? According to Islamic tradition, there were three Jewish tribes in Medina when […]

Turkey: Mufti claims TV station insulted Muhammad, issues veiled threat with mention of Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre

By

This man is a Muslim cleric. He knows that Islam teaches that blasphemers must be put to death. The denial in the West about this obvious fact is pandemic, and no one will take any particular notice of this, even though Ahmet Altıok is a cleric in “moderate,” “secular” Turkey. “Turkish mufti threatens opposition news […]
