I'm probably one of the most critical people of Islam on these forums but my criticism of Islam doesn't make my brain fall out of the side of my head or make my degree in history disappear. Muhammad almost certainly existed. What difference does it make anyway? Muhammad existing, the awful, slaver, raider and pedophile that he was? It makes Islam look worse honestly.
The purpose was not to say if the man existed or not.... but if he did start the notion that he was a prophet... or of someone else started it for him, possibly a few decades later.
