It is silly, and divisive, to question the existence of Jesus or of Mohammad.
But it is entirely reasonable to inquire into whether or not they have come down to us in any accurate form - were they actually as described in the two (opposing) theologies.
For my part, it seems much more reasonable to look at their immediate followers, and their immediate followers, in order to determine how the historic persons came to be.

And; I am still confused, is this historical question worse than a cartoon, equal to a cartoon, or (since there are no visuals) merely worth being beaten up in an alley?

PS: Has anyone ever attempted to compare the entity of Allah with...oh,say; Satan?
After all, Lucifer would have known much the same as did Gabriel - and Christ.
It is an opposing theology - the "other" side.
And, six hundred years does not seem too long a time for a counter attack.

Allegedly, Mad Mo went into a dank cave so “Gabriel” could tell him the “word of god”. First, one does not hide in a cave to speak with the Lord, one goes to a mountaintop. If it was Gabriel, which it wasn’t, he would have been sent by the Lord, and there would have been no need to hide in a cave. Furthermore, If the Lord had something to communicate to Mad Mo, particularly something as important as His word, He would have communicated directly, as He did with Moses. The Koran is false, based on these things alone. I am no theologian, but tell me I’m wrong here.
