What did those people believe? Not events, they took one person's word for something. What witness testimony of what event? You couldn't possibly believe the evidence for Islam is better than the NT.
Neither religion's "evidence" measure up to anything but wishful thinking.

To compare apples to apples, what things did Jesus say that were "borrowed" from another source that didn't quite get the historical consensus right on closer inspection?
If they all lined up exactly, you'd be saying that proves it's the word of god. If they don't, that proves it also. Pathetic.
