I think you're aware here that you are committing an ad populum? Be that as it may, I wouldn't consider 1,9 billion people to be a small minority.
That's 5th of the world's population and it's probably smaller because most of those Muslims (who believe him) are not allowed to say that they don't believe him. So it seems that most Muslims don't believe Mohammad because it makes sense but because they will be killed.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
