1. 1. Did Muhammad Exist?

   An Inquiry into Islam’s Obscure Origins

   

   A controversial historical critique that questions the traditional account of Islam’s beginnings, arguing that contemporary evidence for its prophet and scripture is scant and late. Drawing on coins, inscriptions, early chronicles, and the evolution of hadith and sira, it contends that key elements of the faith and its central figure were consolidated decades after the Arab conquests under political and theological pressures. It calls for reassessing early qibla directions, terminology, and the timeline of canonization.

2. 2. The Complete Infidel's Guide To The Koran

   

   A polemical, critical examination of the Quran that surveys its text, historical context, and translations to argue that certain passages have been used to justify violence, patriarchy, and intolerance; the book highlights contested verses and episodes from early Islamic history, offers skeptical readings and contemporary examples, and is written to challenge traditional interpretations and provoke debate about the scripture’s meanings and effects.
