Key Notes
Jiang presents the Constitution of Medina as Muhammad’s promise of religious openness: Jews, Christians, Arabs, and others may practice their religion under the prophet’s community.
He compares Putin's possible failure to Muhammad's death, arguing that a charismatic unifier may almost bind the world but leave civil conflict if he dies too soon.
Jiang argues that Muhammad was the Jewish Messiah expected to lead victory against Byzantium and Heraclius.
According to Jiang's reconstruction, Muhammad could unite the world by declaring himself the promised one, grounding Jews, Christians, and Muslims as children of Abraham, and dissolving religious divisions as tools of priestly and political exploitation.
He treats Descartes's angel dream, Muhammad's revelation, Einstein's daydreams, and Watson's double-helix insight as structurally similar moments of inspired knowledge.
Jiang presents Muhammad's rejection of the Trinity as a liberation for persecuted Christians who already found the doctrine nonsensical.
Jiang argues that Muhammad's message confirmed for many persecuted believers that their own perception of God had been right all along.
