I would say they have a problem with evidence. Supernatural revelations that only one person hears has got to be the lowest level of evidence possible (especially as the only evidence). There are no miracles to speak of and no witnesses to compelling events that back up claims of truth. Additionally, it is my understanding that Mohammad tone changed and inconsistencies over the course of writing--which is interesting since it was supposed to have been revealed from Gabriel--who probably would have been more consistent. It is also my understanding that the teachings on Jesus and other matters were clearly influenced by existing works that were circulating in the Arab world.
Well, the Koran has no inconsistencies if you believe it first and read it the RIGHT way. And does your "understanding" come from as close a study as the bible?
