There is no manuscript evidence for Muhammad in the 7th century. No complete Quran. No archaeological proof of Mecca. And now, top Muslim scholars are starting to admit it publicly. In this episode of Tip of the Spear, Brandon Holthaus sits down with Dr. Jay Smith — professor of Islamic Apologetics and Polemics at Veritas International University and one of the leading Christian voices engaging Islam through history, manuscripts, and theology. For over 30 years, Dr. Smith has debated Muslims publicly at London's famous Speaker's Corner and around the world. In this conversation, Dr. Smith breaks down the three pillars of Islam — the Quran, Muhammad, and Mecca — and explains why the historical evidence behind all three is shockingly thin. He reveals that the earliest manuscripts of Bukhari (Islam's most trusted source for what Muhammad said and did) date not to the 9th century as claimed, but to the 14th and 15th century — up to 800 years after Muhammad's death. He also shares recent admissions from Dr. Yasir Qadi and Dr. Shabir Ali that Western historical scholarship cannot support Islamic tradition, and that Muslims must rely on a "bubble of belief" rather than evidence. This is a conversation every Christian needs to hear — especially as Islam continues to expand across the West. 🔗 Follow Dr. Jay Smith: Pfander Films on YouTube: / @pfanderfilms Veritas International University: https://www.veritas.edu 📖 Key Topics Covered: • No 7th-century evidence for Muhammad, Mecca, or the Quran • The "three-legged stool" of Islam — and why it's collapsing • How Christian manuscript evidence compares to Islamic tradition • Yasir Qadi's stunning admissions about Islamic scholarship • The 800-year gap between Muhammad and the earliest Bukhari manuscripts • Why Saudi Arabia's modernization push may reshape Islam from within • MBS, the Wahhabi collapse, and the geopolitical realignment of the Middle East 👉 Subscribe for more: / @tipofthespear 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode. #BibleProphecy #Islam #DrJaySmith #TipOfTheSpear #Apologetics
