Mohammed was a Child Rapist.

Good point. A negative witness ought to hold more weight than a positive one, at least in the question of whether or not the subject of the negativity existed. IE why would a known credible historical source rant and rave against someone who they knew didn’t exist?

The last of Gospels was written by John in about 90-95AD Or about 60 years after the life of Jesus

There are papyri of those Gospels and the Epistles that date from about that time, maybe 110 AD

So how exactly do we have less reliable information on the life of Jesus than Mo-hammered

This woman is an idiot whatever else she is

The writer is secular or an historicist, someone who submits all past narrative to examination based on established principles of textual criticism and philology. Almost all of the people who are doing the ground breaking research into the origins of Islam and the life of the pedophile prophet are secular. Some are former Muslims. All cut very low profiles and keep far away from any public forums. However, the current investigations into the origins of Islam and the development of the Koran are literally explosive as they undermine and deny almost the entire elaborate structure of the accepted historical narrative about these topics.

And he had a flying magical horse, he thought dogs were demons [and black dogs were the devil himself] and that salamanders were all powerful evil spirits who could destroy men’s souls at will.

[well, okay..I admit I’m a bit of a bedevilment to some FReepers so maybe he had that one right]

Who’s the pervert prophet
That’s a sex machine to all the goats?
Mohammed, ya, damn right

Who is the man that would cut the neck
Of his brother man?
Mohammed, can you dig it?

Who’s the cat that won’t be found
When there’s danger all about?
Mohammed, right on

They say this cat Mohammed is a bad mother
Shut your mouth
But I’m talkin’ ‘bout Mohammed
Then we can dig it

He’s a absolutely insane man
But no one understands him but his goat
Mohammed

With apologies to Issac Hayes...

The more relevant question is, what do we actually care about Mohammed.

To which the answer is, very little.

"one doctrine after another reshapes him as a figure for veneration"

Interesting. The lying pedophile of the Koran may be a flattering revision of the real mass murderer behind that death cult.
