Mel and Jay respond to 30 erroneous "Muhammads" in the 7th century!

Everyone is now trying to find the Muhammad of Islam in the 7th century, as there just doesn't seem to be any references to him that early. Increasing we are finding Muslims and some Christians who are trying to refute our historical critical analysis of Islam's origins, especially concerning Muhammad, which is great, and timely, in preparation for next week's debate on this very subject. In this video Mel and Jay go through around 30 of those supposed references to Muhammad, and show that they are all very similar, as they either reference someone who is MHMD "the desired one" in Arabic (thus not 'Muhammad'), or someone who is a warrior who claims to be a prophet, often with a sword, who leads the 'Saracens' (which means the Plunderers) and who pillages, rapes and thieves Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians, and that's it. These references would fit almost any nomadic plunderer during that time, which should not be surprising. What is curious is that none of these 30 references to MHMD point to anyone from Mecca or Medina, or say that this individual (or individuals) is a Muslim, who received a Qur'an (or any holy book), or that he belonged to a religion called Islam, or that he died in 632 AD, the very criteria needed to prove that he was the 'Muhammad' of Islam. What's more everyone of these references places him in Gaza, Jerusalem, Damascus, Kufa, or in northern Iraq, or even in Persia, and nowhere near the Hijaz where the Muhammad of Islam was born and spent his first 52 years. Until someone can find the true Muhammad of the SIN we are going to have to assume that he was nothing more than a later character compiled over a few hundred years in order to give the Arabs of Arabia a much needed prophet with a much needed revelation, and simply redacted back to the 7th century time period, and the Hijaz environs.
