Did Muhammad Exist? Dr. Jay Smith Responds to Raymond Ibrahim's accusations!

After Jay returned from speaking at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills on July 6, Hatun Tash (see the previous video on Pfanderfilms), a good friend and colleague called him up to ask if he would be willing to do a "Live-Stream" with her in order to go through the two videos put out by Raymond Ibrahim (April 9 & 11) and have Jay respond to each of his accusations, point-by-point, to which he agreed. Raymond made it clear in his videos that the "non-existence of Muhammad" was indeed the weakest of all polemics, and that Muslims (intimating that he was included) were laughing at him. It was to have been a 30-60 minute live-stream, but due to the many responses required, it stretched into just over two hours. Here, then is that interview where Jay attempts to respond to all of the accusations Raymond Ibrahim throws at Jay concerning whether "Muhammad ever existed". After it was all done, Hatun still refused to take a position either way, choosing instead to 'sit-on-the-fence'. Let's see if you, however, agree with Jay or with Raymond.
