Living by the Point of My Spear

Who was Jibreel the ghost / inspiring angel?

Extract from Living by the Point of My Spear

Muhammad claimed that Jibreel, the ghost or inspiring angel, was sent by Allah to erase divinely inspired text.

He said that the inspiring angel in their first meeting ordered him to read, saying “Read in the name of your Allah repeatedly for three times”, but he refused to read1

Muhammad concluded by saying “then I awoke from my sleep”.

This tells us that the inspiring angel, Jibreel occurred only in a dream.  If Muhammad’s first encounter with Jibreel was a dream, it follows that all his so called encounters with Jibreel were actually nothing more than dreams.

If all Muhammad’s inspiration came from dreams, then it follows that the Quran, the clergymen and the bloody wars and the thousands of fatalities that occurred from these wars have all sprung from a dream!

The Muslim leaders and clergymen try to deny and hide the fact that the inspiring angel and the prophecy are simply based on a dream!
