Still,the origin of Islam confuses me.
1. Mohammed said that he was praying alone in a cave when the angel Gabriel appeared to him and ordered him over and over "To read"!
2. Mohammed said he told Gabriel over and over that he couldn't read.
3.I'm thinking: Didn't Gabriel do a background check on this man who Allah chose to lead a nation?
4. for instance, Gabriel probably knows if I can read or not. 5. God/Allah obviously knew that Mohammed could or not read just as he knows whether or not I can read.
5. I'm wondering: Did Allah simply forget to tell Gabriel, either on purpose or by mistake that Mohammed couldn't read.
6. Whatever happened, Allah placed Gabriel, at least, in a very embarrassing situation.

In comparison, think about the following:
1.Mary in the Bible.
2. Gabriel appeared to Mary before Jesus was born.
3. I bet that Gabriel knew every detail of Mary's life before he visited Mary.
I bet he had been watching Mary for many years before he visited her. I bet he knew whether or not Mary could read.
4. However, for some unknown reason,600 to 700 years later, Gabriel didn't know that Mohammed could not read. I find that to be strange.
5. I hate to be critical of you, angel Gabriel, but it looks to me that you didn't do you homework before you visited Mohammed in the cave.
6. What about Mohammed 's parents, Gabriel? As you know, Mohammed's parents died before he became an adult.
My point is this: If you really wanted to learn about Mohammed-----for instance, if you wanted to learn everything about young Mohammed--- why didn't you simply ask his dead parents? I'm sure that they would know if Mohammed could or couldn't read.
I'm sorry Gabriel, but in my humble opinion, you messed up big-time when it came to learning everything about Mohammed before you found him in the cave praying. It looks like the only thing you knew about Mohammed was where to find hm: I guess God didn't give you any more detailed information about Mohammed.
7. Sadly, God alone knows why he didn't give you more information about Mohammed before he sent you on your historical journey to mother earth.
CNN, FOX NEWS: I'm sorry to say this: But in modern times, aggressive reporters from such news outlets like CNN and FoxNews would probably find out more about Mohammed's past than you knew before you visited Mohammed in the cave for the first time around 600 AD.
8. Dear Gabriel, this is Mirse.I wrote the original message above.
Why didn't you simply just visit earth a few times to do a preliminary study of Mohammed first hand before you made your official visit to Mohammed in the cave? Yes,if it had been me, I would have visited earth a few times and studied Mohammed up close. You would have been invisible so no one would have seen you.
