The calendar argument is phenomenal. Taking a month off every year is quite questionable.
Reminds me of the Roman empire and Jesus. Both Jebus and MoMo were created way later than their supposed time of existence for political purposes. Now pastafarians fight back with the flying spaghetti monster, who's to say he's not gonna win he is definitely the most delicious out of the 3 and I already proved his existence every time I tried to make spaghetti and meatballs.
I find it hard to believe that all these stories around muhammad, the sira, the hadit about his wifes, family and miliary conflict are pure fiction. I think there was this figure muhammad although he might have been very different from what we read about him
