Was Muhammad just a Jew with some of his own beliefs? Because Islam just seems like Judaism with Christianity sprinkled on top.
The parallels between the two religions is pretty big.
The monotheistic religion of the Jews inspired many imitators, the most successful of which would claim to be a continuation of their religion

He tried to pass himself off as a Jewish prophet in the line of the OT prophets, but he failed to answer the questions the Jews had to determine between real prophets and false prophets, and this humiliation is why the Koran is so vehemently anti-Jew. But yes despite this his teachings were still basically a garbled and mangled version of Judaism, he wasn't a very creative or original thinker and he pretty much just repeated the stories he'd learned from the Jews to the best of his ability. This impressed his tribe but didn't fool the Jews for a moment.

What are the questions?
Will need to know if I'm approached by a presumptive Jewish prophet and need to test him
>>1536104
well in the bible how you test if someone is a real prophet is you trick them into eating at your house after they said God told them not to by saying that an angel of God came you to and told you to feed them. if they die, then you know they were a real prophet. i understand why Muhammad wouldn't agree to this test

pretty sure Muhammad claimed to have recieved his teachings from the angel Gabriel so that second question is bunk, also that first question seems nonsensical since Jews no longer thought sacrifices could occur outside the temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed. couldn't finish the video because it was such awful shilling. the only worse than muslim apologists is evangelical attempts of attacking islam

Except everything in that video is directly taken from the Koran.

He's an atheist. He used to be a devout muslim, but lost his faith when he studied the Koran in detail.
