It wasn't Mohammed who founded Islam.

Just as I said in the bible thread, the first mistake a theist makes when trying to objectively assess their own holy book is to assume any of it is real. If you do that, you're innately biased and your analysis is worth nothing.

Every single event or character of importance needs to be independently and objectively verified. If it cannot, then the logical thing to assume is that it didn't happen.

And showing some of the book to be correct does not in any way give credence to anything else in the book. To say it's either all true or all false is ridiculous. And of course, to assume it was "divinely inspired" is also ridiculous. That's a claim that needs substantiating, and I imagine that would be impossible with conventional methods.

Also, trying to establish the truth of an account by appealing just to the supposed author's motivations is speculation and totally invalid.
