The Jealous Grinch Who Stole Christmas (and Jesus's Title)
Let’s talk about Muhammad—or more specifically, his title. Here’s something you might not know: “Muhammad” wasn’t even his birth name. That’s right, the title—meaning “the praised one”—wasn't bestowed upon him at birth or accompanied by any divine proclamation. Instead, it was appropriated, lifted straight from Syriac-Aramaic Christians, who had long used this term to refer to Yeshua Messiah (Jesus).
The Syriac spelling makes this clear: ܝܫܘܥ, directly translating to “the praised one.” In Arabic, it became محمد (Muhammad)—not borrowed, but outright stolen. You can still find ancient inscriptions in old churches where this title was first used, exclusively for Jesus. Muhammad didn’t just take the title; he rebranded it, stripping it of its original meaning to elevate himself while undermining the figure it originally glorified.
This wasn’t an isolated incident. Islam’s founder seemed fixated on rewriting existing legacies. Take the term “Arab.” Before Islam, it wasn’t an identity but a Roman term for desert nomads. Inspired by the tribal cohesion of the Jews, the Arabs decided to adopt a similar narrative. Elaborate myths emerged, tying them to Abraham through Ishmael—despite a glaring 13-generation gap between Abraham and their supposed ancestor, Adnan.
The pattern is clear: take an existing legacy, twist it, and claim it as your own. Look at Jerusalem, renamed “Al-Quds” to erase its Jewish roots. Even Jesus—a Jewish teacher from Judea—was transformed into an “Arab Palestinian prophet” in Islamic narratives, erasing his Jewish identity. It’s always the same strategy: rewrite history, erase the original, and declare ownership.
But Muhammad’s jealousy didn’t stop at stealing titles or rewriting identities. His entire ideology reflects an obsessive envy toward the Bible and its figures. When Jews and Christians rejected his claims, he turned that rejection into doctrine, branding them as corrupt and casting himself as the “final messenger.” The Torah, Psalms, and Gospels—all predating Islam by centuries—were dismissed as “distorted,” while Muhammad positioned himself as the arbiter of divine truth.
And let’s not ignore the hypocrisy. Shirk (associating others with God) is Islam’s “unforgivable sin,” yet their texts lavish Muhammad with praise that borders on idolatry. From his “glowing white skin” to “sweat that smelled like roses”—it’s all there in the hadiths, dripping with reverence. So much for humility.
Fast forward to today, and this jealousy continues to fuel the actions of modern followers. Take the Christmas market attacks in Germany. These aren’t just acts of violence—they’re ideological tantrums. Christmas celebrates Yeshua Messiah, the true “praised one,” and that drives them mad. The festive lights, the joyful hymns, the recognition of Jesus’s divinity—it’s everything Muhammad tried and failed to overshadow.
Instead of surpassing it, the response has always been the same: if you can’t beat it, destroy it. That’s the essence of these so-called “haram” declarations. They can’t handle that Jesus is celebrated while Muhammad’s legacy is rooted in contradictions and borrowed glory.
Meanwhile, the West largely shrugs. “We don’t care if you insult our Jesus,” they say, mistaking centuries-old jealousy for mere cultural differences. But there’s nothing “just” about it. This is a war on biblical faith—a relentless effort to erase, undermine, and replace its teachings. Eastern Europe might still stand firm, celebrating Christmas unapologetically, but much of the West? It’s all lattes and appeasement.
Here’s the bottom line: you don’t negotiate with jealousy. You don’t laugh it off or appease it. You call it what it is—a tantrum. A centuries-old inferiority complex wrapped in doctrine.

Telegram has announced a number of measures aiming to tackle the spread of disinformation through its platform in Brazil. These features are part of an agreement between the platform and the country's authorities ahead of the elections in October. During a meeting with the president of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) on June 6, Telegram's Vice President Ilya Perekopsky announced the initiatives. According to the executive, Brazil is the first country in the world where Telegram is introducing the features, which could be expanded to other countries facing threats to democracy through the dissemination of false content.
