James Kaddis, the very popular pastor from 'Calvary Chapel Signal Hill' in California interviews Jay concerning the the earliest characters in #Islam, none of whom have any historical antecedents; in other words, they just don't seem to exist in history at all, and this includes the prophet #Muhammad, as odd as that may sound.

Everyone has been looking for the name MUHAMMAD in the 7th century, since his biography and his sayings don't even appear for another 200 - 300 years, or sometime in the 9th to 10th centuries (though that view is soon to be blown away as well; so hold this space).

So, is Muhammad referred to in the 7th century, in the time period he supposedly lived?
To find out, let’s begin with the name itself.

In the 7th century or earlier, in #Arabic, it would have been ‘MHMD’ because there were no vowels in Arabic that early, just 16 consonantal letters. The 3 Arabic vowels (Dhamma, Fatah, and Kasra) were only created and added in the 8th and the 9th centuries, so hundreds of years later.

Consequently, in the 7th century the word "Muhammad" would have been simply for letters, MHMD, which when pronounced would have likely been "Mahmad".

However, it's not important how the word was pronounced, but how it would have been written in the 7th century, and we now realize that we have been looking for "Muhammad" when we should have been looking for "MHMD" in the 7th century, and not the word “Muhammad”.

That is why there has been so much confusion in this debate; because the word MHMD was really quite common in the 7th century and even before, and it was not the name of a person at all.

MHMD means “the praised one”, or “the blessed one”, and even “the anointed one”, which later became synonymous with “the Messiah” later on..

Thus, it was not a name but a title.

It was first used in Ugaritic in 1400 BC.

Then it was used in Hebrew, in 1000 BC, and is found in the Bible 11 times.

Probably the most famous example is Song of Solomon 5:16, where the Hebrew ‘Machmad’ means “Altogether Lovely”, and refers to Solomon.

It was subsequently employed by Saint Ambrose in the 4th c. AD as a title for Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

Subsequent Church Fathers followed St. Ambrose's example and interpreted the Song of Songs 5:16 passage as the Church and Christ, so that the term “MHMD” was employed for Christ.

Following Saint Ambrose's usage in the 4th century AD the church fater ORIGEN interpreted the Song of Songs passage in two complementary aspects: the first, as the unique Scripture where the eschatological nuptials of Christ and his Bride are present; the second, as the spirit of Scripture fully manifest in all its erotic power to unite the reader with the Lord.

ST. GREGORY OF ELVIRA (d. 392AD) used MHMD to refer to Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

ST. JOHN CASSIAN (360-435AD) also used MHMD this way.

ST. AUGUSTINE (396-430AD) is another who believed the MHMD was Jesus Christ

APPONIIUS, in the middle of the 7th century, so within the century we are looking at, employed the title MHMD for Jesus Christ as well.

This suggests that “MHMD” was a common title for Jesus by the 7th century in the church in that part of the world where Arabic now became the international language of both the Christians and the Jews.

Speaking of the “Jews”, in 523 AD a Jewish inscription has been found using the same four letters MHMD as a title for the Messiah who they were still waiting for. But they also used that title for their Exilarchs (Jewish authorities in the seminaries found in Hira (Iraq).

If fact we know of 5 exilarchs in the 7th century who used the title MHMD before their names; such as MHMD ben Husiel, and MHMD al Salman, suggesting that each exilarch assumed that they were the long awaited Messiah. After each exilarch died, the next one employed that title for themselves.

So, by the 7th century, the Christians used MHMD to refer to the returning ‘Messiah’, while the Jews used MHMD to refer to the Messiah yet to come (that is why it was used with all of the 5 Exilarchs).

Now we can understand why Muawiyah, in 663 AD, as the first caliph of the Umayyad Dynasty mints a coin with his image on the front holding 2-3 crosses, and then on the reverse side he has the four letters 'MHMD' written at the bottom.

It's obvious that he was a Christian and not a Muslim, because of the 3 crosses on the front and back of the coin. The word MHMD thus stands for the title of 'the #anointed one', who can be none other than #Jesus Christ himself

You will be BLOWN AWAY when you hear “MUHAMMAD’S” IDENTITY!

Arabic-Islamic philosophy
Unfortunately, there is very little good literature in Europe that deals with Arabic-Islamic philosophy. "Western" research is extremely Eurocentric and full of prejudices. If at all, Semitic philosophy is only accorded an intermediate position between ancient times/Hellenism and the European Renaissance/Enlightenment. However, Arab culture was the cultural high culture in the period of European late antiquity and the Middle Ages and the true heirs of Hellenism, which was by no means as "European" as the Germanic tribes would like it to be. The sphere of influence stretches from the Indus to Spain and it is very wrong to dismiss this treasure of humanity as "barbaric", while at the time people were sitting on the proverbial trees and knew nothing at all. Other Semitic cultures, such as the Hebrews, only wrote storybooks during that time. The only important European philosopher who appreciated the merit of the Arabs was #Nietzsche, so you know what you have.

Has anyone found a translation of the declaration of ISIS on the attack in Moscow, or can anyone translate it?

I've been looking a little on the internet, but there seems to be nothing. A copy of the statement on "X" is very short: https://twitter.com/SimNasr/status/1771285574445383846

What interests me in particular is the reasons they give for it.

Bahia Shehab - Rebel Cat

Graffiti
“Tamaradi ya Outta” or “Rebel Cat” was a call to women to join the revolution. The verb “to rebel,” was feminized in Arabic so more women could relate to it, and the word “cat” was added, a term used to describe a foxy women but also could be used to catcall someone on the street.

Fairuz is more than a singer: she is an icon, a true global superstar. Nouhad Wadie’ Haddad was born in Beirut, Lebanon on November 21, 1934. Although her singing career began as a teenager she didn’t adopt the name Fairuz (the Arabic word for turquoise) until she worked as a singer on a Lebanese radio station in the 1950s. She rose to stardom because of her exceptional vocal skills that blend western and Arab musical styles. Fairuz was already known as the “First Lady of Lebanese singing” when she went on her 1971 North American tour. The U.S. is just one of the many countries in which she has performed sold-out tours and shows in her lifetime.

She was a mainstay on Arab radio stations around the world for decades and has sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

Fairuz is often called “the soul of Lebanon” and remains the greatest living Arab diva.
