Professor Hired for Outreach to Muslims Delivers a Jolt
Islamic Theologian's Theory: It's Likely the Prophet Muhammad Never Existed
Islamic Theologian Says Prophet Muhammad Likely Never Existed - WSJ.com
Given the lack of evidence for his existence I have to chalk Mohammad up to being a fictional character like Achilles or perhaps an Amalgamation of several characters streamlined to fit a narrative and implement a state religion.
to be idiot is easy and free, even you have some degrees. I wonder why 'Some' people in Usa are in race to create new lies about Islam,
and to insult Islam.
btw, insulting the religion of 1.5 b people is seen 'democracy/freespeech',
killing people up to 50-60 in afghanistan is seen 'mistake',
practising the religion of Islam is seen 'concession' etc. i did read a book about Nazi's Germany and there were similar approachs to 'inferior' people by 'superior' Germans .
Muhammad and Jesus did indeed exist. I believe it's illogical to purport that they are fictional.
This doesn't surprise me in the least.
I wouldn't be surprised if Buddha never existed, either.
Yeah. I think that's what all of them are.
According to Christians and Muslims, but there is no non-Muslim or non-Christian primary sources standing as testament to their actual existence.
@AgentFerris
i will nominate you for the nobel prize; after all, you are smarter then 1.5 b people .btw,
i am sorry to have responded this thread in the first place, next time i will visit a mental hospital to wast my time with people in there, at least the people in there take medical care and pills for their problems.
Yes and that is all that matters.
Who cares what Non Muslims/Christians think?
I'm not lying about anything, there is no evidence compelling enough to bring Mohammad from the realm of mythical figure to historical figure. If he existed why was he not recorded by the Byzantine or Sassanid Empires?
Well my view is that Islam is directly at odds with secular liberalism and an affront to individual liberty and an insult to any thinking person considering that all 5 sects of Islam hold as the only accepted view that homosexuality, apostasy, adultery, and/or premarital sex are not only crimes but capital and/or corporal offenses.
Yes, you don't have the right not to be offended. This is not Europe and I'm not a PC leftist I'm an anarchist and an atheist and Islam embodies the very worst in both organized government and organized religion.
The war in Afghanistan is a war of self defense. We do not target civilians and when they are killed we mourn not cheer which is distincitively different to the modern Islamic means of waging war through the intentional targeting of civilians and cheering each of their deaths as a victory.
lol It is Islam which considers those who are not Muslims to be inferior, Christians and Jews will be tolerated as third class citizens but you better watch out if you're a pagan. Anyways Islam isn't a race, I do not judge people on race but I most certainly do judge people on the ideology which they hold. I find it ironic that I'm being lectured about equal rights considering the fact that equal rights is as alien a concept to Islam as the deliciousness of a pulled pork sandwhich and a cold beer.
So it doesn't matter to you if he actually existed or not? I think that would be kind of a big sticking point in the mind of any rational human being.
Wait, an anarchist is using Government Sources (period pieces) to justify his opinion. Oh Irony...
I believe he exists.
Someone who doesn't follow my religion telling me he doesn't exist doesn't matter
In other words you don't care about the facts if they contradict your preconcieved ideas.
:shrug:
You have no evidence and it wouldn't matter.
Non Muslims discussing Islam rarely get a look in when it comes to debates over Muslims Prophets whether Jesus, Moses or Mohammed.
Actually you have no evidence that he is anything more than a fictional character.
Not sure I follow here.
Considering I follow the Qu'ran. That is all I need.
Non Muslims opinions on Islam and our Prophets existence means nothing to Muslims.
Yes and that is all that matters.
Who cares what Non Muslims/Christians think?
Exactly. If people want to believe in Mohammad, Jesus, the easter bunny, tooth-fairy or Santa Claus, who cares? As long as they don't tread on me, I could care less what they think. Although, I do find them to be illogical and perhaps a bit delusional, who cares?
It makes people fight.
That's the only reason I care.
And I didn't care much about that, either, on a personal level... until I had a dog in the fight.
Now I wish religion had never been invented.
But I suppose they'd just find something else to fight about, wouldn't they?
Government sources? No I'm wondering why there are absolutely 0 contemporary Byzantine or Sassanid historians who wrote of such a supposed significant figure.
Considering I follow the Qu'ran. That is all I need.
