  &quot;I am translating Kafir as Pagan but I can&apos;t prove it&quot;, How about when Quran calls Jews and Christians Kafir? Kafir is a general term, which means: those who cover up (the truth). In general sense those who covered up the truth of Islam, not Islam that is started with Muhammad (pbuh), but Islam as the original one religion that was revealed to the Prophets and Jews and Christians covered it up with theology that they made up over a period of time. I think that is a proper understanding. I am just loving epistemological humility, which is a common theme among the orientalists (sarcasm intended). I compare them with Islamic scholars those giving durus in Madina and I find these guys so simplistic.

  Interesting lecture but I wonder how the professor would square his idea that the prophet Muhammad went around the near east, had contact with other cultures and religions and that he knew other languages with the fact that the Quran and hadith for that matter are all in Arabic and in a very hijazi style.

  I don&apos;t think that Dr. Cole is dishonest, but you get the sentiment that the Prophet Muhammad basically took inspiration and data from everybody around copying from the Bible,Torah and wrote the Qur&apos;an. He spoke several languages and was constantly visiting again everybody around is just nonsense. All revelations came from One and the same God so it&apos;s only natural that the monotheistic scriptures resembles one another.
