It wasn't Mohammed who founded Islam.

Jesus Min, read a little about it. Do you know that the Hadiths are extra Koranic accounts of Muhammads life made by people who were there.

No, they weren't. They were bullshit stories written a long time later with a largely political purpose because of the various factions striggling for power. I suggest you read Spencer's book.

I listened to a number of his debates and read a good deal on his site. He ignores so much evidence that counters his points. Loads of it. Then presents some of the shittiest evidence that no historian would accept as true. (Coins with crosses and the misuse of the name Muhammad) and then makes wild speculation about it that he presents as fact. His argument is garbage. People just don't understand how we establish historical figures. Again, I'm to reiterate my point about Ghenghis Khan having no primary sources about him. Ghenghis Khan has less written about him, and much later too than Muhammad does. If someone wrote that Ghenghis Khan didn't exist no historian would take them seriously. Ancient peoples didn't keep records like we did and applying the standard that we have for modern figures to ancient ones just doesn't make sense historically. I'd be shocked if any credible historian took him seriously.

I need to repeat however, that because Muhammad existed, it does nothing for the case of Islam being true. Islam is so obviously false. Plus Muhammad was a pedophile, terrorist and slaver. He's about as bad of founder as you could ask for. Honestly Islam would probably be better off if he hadn't existed.
