Claim of Clowns: Was Islam created by the Catholic church?

 

Well folks, This is the funniest claim & heresy from orthodox Christians without any evidence & references.

None of the Muslim & Christian scholars & academic historians ever claimed that.

That claim was first held by an American cartoonist Jack chick who wrote a comic. This comic is a conspiracy theory that claims that the catholic church is the founder of islam by influencing Mohammed's first wife. Jack chick, who neither was a historian nor an academic scholar but a conspiracy theorist🦧 Even many christians reject him and his heresies 

Now here is the Refutation against his baseless allegations:

He claimed Waraqah ibn Nawfal was a Roman Catholic who influenced Prophet PBUH by Hazrat Khadija which is the most funniest part here.

First of all, The Christian church has never been particularly strong in the Arabian Peninsula & Arabian Peninsula wasn't much influenced by the Christianity at that time.

Secondly, Roman Catholicism wasn't anything at that time until Jul 16, 1054 CE: Great Schism where Catholicism split from the Christianity. 

"On July 16, 1054, Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius was excommunicated, starting the “Great Schism” that created the two largest denominations in Christianity—the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox faiths" [1]

So nearly 422 years later of the Prophet's PBUH death, Roman Catholicism was split and formed which means Waraqah ibn Nawfal was just a random prototype Christian who had nothing to do with the Roman empire & the Byzantine.

Thirdly, the Prophet's PBUH first wife before accepting Islam wasn't any Christian but she was a part of Pagan society which people used to worship idols 

Fourthly, In the past, those who opposed Prophet Muhammad PBUH labeled him as a sorcerer, magician, or poet, asserting that he made up the Quranic verses. Interestingly, none of his detractors suggested that he was delivering these verses on behalf of another entity, like the Vatican or he was influenced by christians.

So Jack chick considered Islam as the younger daughter of the mother holy catholic church, where islam the daughter turned against his own mother catholic church which led to the crusades?😐

Who has defeated thousands of Catholics during crusades?😐

Rest in peace History!
