Jay was invited to Calvary Chapel San Jose (CCSJ) on Sunday, August 4th, to unpack in two hours the newest material he has on the problems with Islam's Origins.

This is the first of four videos where he introduces this newest form of Polemic, the External Polemic, or better known as the "Historical Polemic against Islam's Origins".

The other two forms of Polemics are Internal, and Cultural Polemics, which he defines and explains in this episode.

He then moves into the questions which underline why we even have historical problems with Islam's origins; namely, that there simply are no origins for Islam at all in the 7th and 8th centuries!

In fact, historians who go back to that time period come up with a big blank when questioning who Muhammad was, or where Mecca existed, or even whether there was a Qur'an that early.

What's more, everything we do know concerning how Islam began was not even created, nor written down until the 9th - 10th centuries, or as he will show in this episode, not until the 10th - 16th centuries, and thus 100s of years too late to even be credible.

Consequently, since everything we know about "the book, the man, and the place" (i.e. the Qur'an, Muhammad and Mecca) is written hundreds of years later and too far to the north, why don't we go back to the 7th - 8th centuries, to the central parts of what is today Saudi Arabia and find out what really happened there, and who really was "Muhammad", and what really was the Qur'an?

Sit back and enjoy these 4 episodes which take you on a journey concerning our newest and possibly most damaging Polemic yet, that concerning the historical origins of Islam.
