TOTALLY debunks the myth that is Islam!
Investigating Islam with Dr. Jay Smith (2 Corinthians 10:5)

15 September 2023: Jay Smith shares a compelling message challenging Islam's foundations using 7th-century evidence and historical sources, which reveal their timing and location discrepancies compared to the events they describe. This thought-provoking message casts doubt on the traditional Islamic narrative, using their own historical framework.

I am the Watchman; Hear my Shofar
The word of יְהוָ֥ה (YHVH) came to me: “Son of man, speak to your people; say to them, ‘Suppose I bring the sword on a country, and the people of that country take one of their men and appoint him their watchman. Now if, upon seeing the sword coming against that country, he blows the shofar and warns the people; then, if the sword comes and takes away someone who heard the sound of the shofar but paid no attention to it, the responsibility for that person‘s death will be his own — he heard the shofar but paid no attention, so the responsibility for his death is his own; whereas if he had paid attention, he would have saved his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the shofar, so that the people are not warned; and then the sword comes and takes any one of them, that one is indeed taken away in his guilt, but I will hold the watchman responsible for his death.’
  “Likewise you, son of man — I have appointed you as watchman for the house of Isra'el. Therefore, when you hear the word from My mouth, warn them for Me. When I tell the wicked person, ‘Wicked person, you will certainly die’; and you fail to speak and warn the wicked person to leave his way; then that wicked person will die guilty; and I will hold you responsible for his death. On the other hand, if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he doesn’t turn from his way; then he will still die guilty, but you will have saved your own life.” [Ezekiel 33:1-9]

The Rise of Islam
by Rickard L. Sawyer
ThM, ThD, DMin, MA, MBA
Professor of Theology and Comparative Religion
Golden State School of Theology, Oakland, CA

Pick up any newspaper or magazine, or turn on any television or radio news broadcast, and within a very few minutes you will find a reference to “Islam, one of the world’s three great monotheistic religions,” as if Islam has much in common with Judaism and Christianity! You will even hear so-called “Christian” and even Jewish leaders suggesting that the “god” of Islam is the same as the God of Avraham, Yitz'chak, and Ya'akov, the God of the Bible and the only true God. Nothing could be further from the truth. Islam has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Judaism and Christianity. Muslims are not our friends, and they will never be our friends. Islam is now, and shall be until Messiah returns, totally incompatible with either Judaism or Christianity.

The Origin of Islam
by Grady L. Davis
BD, MSM, PhD
Chairman of Directed Individualized Studies
Golden State School of Theology, Oakland, CA

Mohammad was born in Arabia in the city of Mecca in 570 CE. He came from a prominent and highly respected family. When he was 25 he married a wealthy widow named Khadija. Their marriage was a happy one although only one of their children, Fatima, lived to maturity. Mohammad spent most of his time in solitary meditation. He began to have many disturbing visions. Once he believed he saw the angel Gabriel. …

Five Pillars of Islam

Besides the six doctrines to be believed, there are five (seven, actually) duties to be performed by every Muslim.

Six Doctrines of Islam

The basic doctrines that every Muslim must believe, no matter where he lives, or to which particular Islamic sect he belongs.

Major Sects of Islam

There are three major sects of Islam, briefly defined here.

Minor Sects of Islam

In addition to the three major sects of Islam, Sufism and Black Muslims are considered minor sects of Islam.

The Vocabulary of Islam

A glossary of common Islamic words and phrases.

The Adhan

The Islamic call to prayer that Baraq Hussein has called “the most beautiful sound on earth,” and what it really means.

Islam and the Bible

The Bible is one of the many “holy” books recognized by Islam. It is, however, superseded by the Qur’an. Islam denies that Yeshua (“Isa”) is the Son of God, although it describes the virgin birth in a passage similar to Luke 1:26-38. The Qur’an calls “Isa” a prophet, equal to Abraham, Jonah, and others, but places him far below Mohammad. All other things attributed to Yeshua as being God are denied by Islam.

Allah is Not God

Proof from comparing the Qur'an to the Bible that Allah is absolutely, positively not the God of the Bible.

The “Jesus” of Islam

by Mufti A.H. Elias

“Muslims do believe that ‘Isa’ [Yeshua] … was sent down as a Prophet of Allah, but he is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. Muslims do not believe that Isa …, also known as Jesus by Christians and others, is dead or was ever crucified. We believe that he was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world. Like Jesus …, Muhammad … is also a Prophet and Messenger. Muhammed … is the last Prophet, though, and there is none after him. Hence, Islam is the last religion, complete, with the Holy Qur'an as the unchanged and perfect word of God for over 1400 years, as God promised to preserve it till the last day for all of humankind, unlike sacred texts of other religions which have multiple versions and are ‘revised’ periodically. God, or Allah in Arabic, is Divine and Supreme Being and Creator.”

The Twelfth Imam

Islam is anxiously awaiting the return of the Twelfth Imam (Mahdi) of the Islamic Caliphate to restore the Caliphate and establish the rule of Islam and the worship of Allah throughout the entire world. The description of this individual in the Qur'an and other Islamic literature exactly matches the Bible’s description of the Antichrist.

Messiah and the Mahdi

This article briefly discusses the role of the Islamic “messiah” and why I believe that his rise to power is imminent.

Death to Infidels

In Islam, all non-Muslims are called unbelievers or infidels. The treatment of the infidels in Islam is divided into two categories. The polytheists, pagans, idolaters and heathens have the choice of converting to Islam or suffer death. The Jews and Christians, whom the Koran calls “people of the book,” can retain their religion but on the sufferance of accepting humiliation and subjugation to Islam and payment of Jizyah (poll-tax) to the Islamic rulers.

“Moderate” Islam Does Not Exist

Ten proofs from the Qur'an that any “Muslim” claiming to be “moderate” is denying the Qur'an, and therefore not a “true” Muslim.

Can “Good Muslims” Be “Good Americans”?

This is very interesting. We all need to read it from start to finish, and send it on to everyone. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities.

A “Moderate” Muslim Speaks Out

A “Moderate” Muslim Student at UCSD “Israel Apartheid Week” Agrees All Jews Should Be Killed

“Black Muslims” and the Nation of Islam

“Black Muslims” may describe any black people who are Muslim, but it historically has been specifically used to refer to black nationalist organizations that describe themselves as Muslim.

What America Needs to Understand About Radical Islam

This article discusses why the barbaric Islamic cult is totally incompatible with any civilized society.

The Truth About “Palestine”

The video dispels certain myths concerning the origin of the name “Palestine” and of the “Arab Palestinians.” It documents that the “Arab Palestinians” are in fact mostly from other places, and migrated to what is now Israel at the same time as the Zionist Jews, many of them because of the economic boom that the Zionist Jews produced in what was then British Mandate Palestine.

Palestinian National Covenant

The Palestinian National Covenant — the “Constitution” of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (P.L.O.) — simply does not permit the existence of the State of Israel. Therefore, there can only be peace in Aretz Yisrael when either the P.L.O. or Israel is totally eliminated from Ha'Aretz. …

Hamas Charter

Hamas’ targeting of Jewish civilians is part and parcel of its mission — as set out in its governing Covenant or Charter — to “fight the Jews and kill them” and to replace Israel with an Islamic state. According to the Charter, any type of peace negotiation and diplomatic end to the conflict “stand in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement.” Hamas is the duly-elected government of the self-proclaimed, though in reality non-existent, “State of Palestine.”

The Apostate “Church”:
“Evangelicals” Who Don’t Know Who God Is

An Evangelical Who’s Who Sign A Letter Declaring That Allah Is God: The apostasy (2Thess. 2:3) is now here!! It is not at all surprising that “the Church” has fallen away from the true Biblical faith with false shepherds like these leading the flock!! This is but one of the many reasons why I have separated myself from apostate “Christianity” and returned to the Torah of HaShem.

The Qur’an

Literally, “that which is often read, recited, or rehearsed.” The religious text or Law of Islam; falsely claimed by Islam to be the final and complete inspired word of “God” transmitted to the “prophet” Mohammad by the angel Gabriel. … This is what the God of the Bible says about the Qur'an: “But the prophet (Mohammad) who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods (Allah), that prophet shall die.” [Deuteronomy 18:20] …

The War Between the God of Israel and the god of Islam

by Joel Chernoff, General Secretary, Messianic Jewish Alliance of America

“…The good news is that God Himself will intervene and break the back of the Moslem faith. The G-d of Israel will confront the armies of Islam supernaturally and send them the message that the God of Israel is God and not the god of Islam. Not only that, but Isaiah 19:23-25 states that the Arab world will turn and follow the God of Israel and that they, with Israel, will become unified in the worship of the God of Israel ...”
