ISLAM: ISLAM IS BASED ON EPILEPTIC PROPHECIES

Islam Based on Epileptic Prophecies, says Book From Iran-Native Neuropsychologist

CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Religious prophet Muhammad suffered from epileptic seizures, according to a book recently released by a Tehran- native and Muslim-raised neuropsychologist. Abbas Sadeghian delivers these findings in the book Sword & Seizure, which is based on historical text, including the Koran.

Sadeghian was inspired by a comparable paper he presented in 2001 at New York University's Fielding Institute. He says Muhammad had suffered from "complex partial seizures," which are displayed through "excessive sweating and light trembling, olfactory, auditory and visual hallucinations, epigastric sensations (bad taste), excessive perspiration and hyper-religiosity." He says evidence of these is recounted throughout the Koran.

When asked by a reporter from the Canton Repository if the same diagnosis could apply to Jesus, Buddha or other religious figures, Sadeghian replied there aren't nearly as many independent historical documents detailing their lives.

"In order to do proper analysis, you must have documentation independent of what the person wrote," he said. "Muhammad lived longer and had people around him who were aware they were living in a historic moment. They documented observations in extreme detail and in real time."
