Defending the Prophet Against Orientalist Critique

This is part two of the session from ISNA 2008 entitled, “Defending the Prophet (peace be upon him) Against Orientalist Critique” that I gave at this year’s convention. This speech was given immediately after Shaykh Yasir Qadhi’s lecture on the same topic.

Here is the description of the session from the ISNA Program Guide:

In light of the recent spate of attacks against the honor of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him), it is imperative that Muslims are aware not only of what is said, but, even more importantly, how to respond to such misinformation. How much of these slanders are pure fabrications? And how many have an element of truth but have been distorted or exaggerated? Even more profoundly, how does on understand and explain incidents that are indeed historically true, but are viewed in our times as being immoral or unethical? It is our goal to address a series of such incidents from the Seerah and explain the best methodology in defending the honor of our Prophet (peace be upon him).
