Why do Western media always deferentially refer to Muhammad as the Prophet Muhammad For the same reason Obummer always refers to the koran and The HOLY Koran - with perfect accent, but the Holy Bible only as the Bible Good catch....

The Western Academy's deracination of history in changing dates A. D. and B. C. to "C. E." and "B. C. E." is an example of kowtowing to Jewish scholars' religiously-based agitation. They Jewish scholars might contrariwise find it vexatious and even antisemitic, if Western scholarship suddenly started referring to "the alleged prophet Nehemiah" or "the alleged King David" (asserting that David is insufficiently documented in "unimpeachable historical records" such as -- assuming they were trying to be deliberate pains in the butt - -- the Assyrian chronicles, Egyptian chronicles and monuments, and other "reliable" sources unlikely to mention David even on a good day!) or removing Israel from atlases as was recently done, or replacing it with a map showing instead "the Zionist entity" and employing other common Pali hate-speech. Then Jewish scholars would be completely justified in getting torqued off about the slights.
But as annoying as religious-fussiness-driven invasions of Western literature and history may have been, what is being done with Islamic subjects is just sinister. It's actually far worse, considering that Jewish Ph. D. 's haven't gone gun-crazy anytime recently, mowing down pews full of Christian apostates and idolaters or blowing up commencement ceremonies at Catholic universities.

islam has the entire democrat media complex as their defense counsel. Academia is worse. I attended an archaeology lecture a couple of years ago on the Moslem conquest of Cyprus and its change of cultures as shown by the material record.
After an hour or so of discussing much-reduced town outlines and slighted or destroyed churches, fortification schemes, and so on, I finally got to ask questions and so went for the money question: What happened to the pre-conquest population of Cyprus, much of which seems to have disappeared?
The answer, completely unavailable in Wiki by the way (yes, it's been munged into meaninglessness) is that the population, which in the 7th century was still majority-pagan, celebrating the ancient Greek (and Asian) rites, was slaughtered by the Arabs. The embarrassed lecturer told me, that it was deeply Not Done in modern academe, to admit that the Arabs slaughtered people like vermin, in their religious purging frenzies.
(Wiki tells us instead that for 300 happy years, Cyprus enjoyed a peaceful condominium of the Byzantine and Arab Empires. If you believe that one, I've got a nice mosque in south Florida that's just your size.) Much more pleasant (on the surface) to document the addition of qibla walls and mihrabs to former churches, or the rebuilding of large churches on much-reduced plans, and so forth, than to speak aloud about what happened to the unhappy people who were suddenly overwhelmed by the Religion of Peace.
