It's hard to discern just how one could accept Mohammad as "maybe" a true prophet without offending against right reason in the matter of discerning good from evil.
We know --- if the hadiths are true --- that Muhammad was a highway robber / caravan raider, a rapist of captured women, a collector of jawari who acquired a little child to sexually molest when she was 6 and have intercourse with when she was 9, a tyrant who set up the assassination of his political critics, a war criminal who massacred disarmed men who had surrendered, a raver who experienced (or faked) abnormal mental states in which he was possessed by a bodiless entity who spoke through him, and who incited and approved of his deeds.
You're familiar with the sunnas which to this day approve of such behaviors, I suppose?
If one who professed the Good Lord Christ were to affiliate also with this lecherous, bloody-handed charlatan, I think it would indicate not only that they had lost their Faith, but that they had lost their minds.

Thanks for the re. and a brilliant deduction.
Let's face it; some of the kings of the Old Testament were just as lecherous, greedy, and nasty as Mohammed. That's simply the nature of the Middle East.
Nicely put.
