432 | Exposing the Myth of the Buraq with Brother Mel

Al Fadi and Brother Mel continue their talk  about the
connection between Islam and the Zoroastrian religion of
Persia.  Today they talk about the myth of the Buraq; which
Muslims believe it  is a flying horse, which took Mohammad
to Jerusalem to Al Aqsa mosque and then to heaven. The origin of
the name is Persian which means : A riding animal, a rider or a
horse.  In Zoroastrianism a demon god rides on a
horse.  This shows the willingness of Islam to copy other
religions.  They also touch on the origin of the names Aisha
and Fatima. They think that they are Jewish names of two wives of
Ishmael according to the Jewish Tergum.
