Did a religion create an empire, or did an empire create a religion to justify its conquests? The standard historical narrative taught in schools is being challenged by explosive new theories suggesting Islam as we know it was a political invention fabricated after the Arab Empire was already established.
Join this unfiltered discussion as we examine the historical arguments that the Umayyad Dynasty constructed the character of Muhammad (potentially originally a title for Jesus) and repurposed pre-existing Arab pagan rituals—like the Kaaba and Djinn worship—to brand and unify their vast new domain. We also explore ex-Muslim perspectives calling sacred stories "fanfiction" and debate historical revisionism around Biblical events like the parting of the "Reed Sea."
