For example, the whole religion itself hinges on a very narrow narrative that Mo supposedly spoke to an angel in a cave. That's it. That's the whole premise of Islam on which it further builds the quranic and hadith and everything else.
This narrative in itself is never really questions. Kinda like virgin birth (or some other stupid shit-fact) in Christianity. It's just taken on it face value and never really questioned the very possibility of it.
It's because taking this narrative at face value makes more sense than other explanations, the best explanation of everything Muhammad did is simply that his prophecy is genuine. It's unbelievable that modern historians of Islam concede that Muhammad was sincere, which really leaves one with two choices : either mental illness, something like motor seizures of temporal lobe epilepsy, the result of its spells are the Qur'an, or that the revelations really came from some agent outside of him.
The diagnosis of epilepsy is only defended within the circles of christian polemics. Orientalists like W. Montgomery Watt or Theodor Noldëke completely reject it.
