[Capt. Tom]

I don't know how you could make a case Muhammad did not exist when there are at least 6 different Hadiths where the different authors interviewed people who knew Muhammad, were his warriors , were married to him, and were his friends who related what Muhammad said and did about implementing Islam.

Seems to me Muhammad is a well documented historical figure. -Tom

There are multiple cases suggesting Muhammed did not exist since the texts origination remains in question. For instance: The Lost Archive, Missing for a half century, a cache of photos spurs sensitive research on Islam's holy text

Academic scholars such as Angelika Neuwirth, Christoph Luxenberg, Patricia Crone etc. examine early versions of the koranic texts and appear to agree that Arabic is not the mother language in these original texts, which makes sense given the Arabs were predominantly illiterate.

Scott's hypotheses are largely derived from surviving historical artifacts. Ask yourself, is it mere coincidence that throughout the existence of Islam, doctrinal jahiliyya triggered the elimination of artifacts and evidence contrary to islam's established narrative of supremacy?

[Cronos]

The Hadiths were collected and written down centuries after Mohammad allegedly lived. I think the theory is plausible. In a very literate society where the Moslems were rulers, why is it that the Koran is not written until the 8th century? And no coins commemorating MOhammad or Islam until much later?
