Muslims today believe in fiction created by the Abbasid Caliphate. 1. Mecca didn’t exist in the 7th century A. No archaeological evidence. B. No historical evidence. C. No or very little water. 2. Mecca (only mentioned once in the Quran) wasn’t on any historical map until 900. The Quran talks about a fertile place, which is not Mecca, A. A stream B. Fruits C. Olive trees D. Fields etc. None of these were in Mecca in the 7th, 8th, 9th, or 10th centuries, and it was not until the late 20th century that Saudi Arabia started to build water desalination plants. 3. Medina was an insignificant little place. 4. The term ‘Mohammad’ (Praised One) was first found on a Christian coin in 661, referring to Jesus, which had Christian symbols. 5. The term Mohammad was used by Arab Christians for Jesus until the mid-8th century. 6. The Mohammad that Muslims believe in today was invented by the Abbasid Caliphate in the late 8th or early 9th century. Mohammad is mentioned only four times in the Quran. The Muslim/Abbasid Mohammad in the Quran is the last of the four (Surah 33:40), an Abbasid interpolation; the first three refer to Jesus. 7. The Dome of the Rock was not a Mosque; it was built by Abdul al-Malik as an anti-trinitarian Christian building. Both Abdul al-Malik and his brother were anti-trinitarian Christians and used Christian symbols on their coins. 8. Abdul al-Malik sent a directive throughout his Kingdom saying that the term ‘Mohammad’ should refer to Jesus. 9. The only original parts of the Dome of the Rock are the inner ambulatories, and the Mohammad’s written on them refer to Jesus (in fact, the term Jesus is on one of them), and they are decorated with lots of grapes, a Christian symbol. 10. There were no Islamic Qurans in the 7th Century. The proto-Quran was Christian lectionaries written in Aramaic and old Arabic. This has led to many mistranslations in the much later Islamic/Abbasid Quran. Conclusion: What Muslims believe today is a fraudulent story started by the Abbasid Caliphate when they came into power in 750. The Abbasid Caliphate bastardized the Arab Anti-trinitarian Christian lectionaries (combined with the mistranslations) to form their Quran to suit their agenda. Islam did not create an empire. The empire created Islam.
