Mel & Jay respond to the Criticisms against them from the debate

Since the debate last week there have quite a few attacks against Jay and Mel concerning things they have said in their videos, and against the material Jay used in the debate with Raymond Ibrahim, much of it against Mel and his arguments for the term MHMD in the 7th - 8th centuries. This video is an attempt to respond to those criticisms which came from primarily four people: Thadeus, Mary Harb, Jai, and Daughter of Christ. In order to respond to them correctly, Jay asked both Thadeus and Jai to write down their grievances against Mel and himself, which they did, and both Mel and Jay then responded to those grievances in this video. Thadeus has asked that those who comment in the comment box below do so politely and courteously. If we find anyone who uses ad hominem or any vitriol against the four we are responding to, we will have to delete their comments.
