[El Cid]

So, Bill, when is “Killing Mohammed” coming out?

I don't believe Mohammad was killed. Died of natural causes. AIDs, choking on a pork-chop bone, or something like that...

Well, there is some disagreement on that. Some people wanted to see Mohammed dead.

The fallout after his death created the Shiites and the Sunnis sects, based on who was to be the rightful heir to the pestilence known as Islam.

There is some historical research showing that Mohammed never existed as a real historical person. He was a myth created after the Arab tribes defeated the exhausted, from fighting each other, Byzantine and Persian Empires. The tribes resided in the borderlands of the two, and struck when opportunity presented itself. But as for the Mohammed story, historians do not have a Josephus to verify a historical figure. It is even postulated that the Koran itself was not even written until a century or two after the Arab Conquest.
