Muhammad the Greatest: A Comparative Study

[Al-Fatihah]

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. You are making the claim that he existed.
So show us the evidence.
If you can't then it is as much hear say as Zeus, Jesus, Abraham or Moses.
all characters with doubtful historicity.

Response: I'm afraid it does, for you are making the claim that Muhammad is a fictional character, with absolutely no evidence, thus proving nothing.

Why, oh why is always when a thread like this is made and someone claims to have made a study, that they never have a peer reviewed paper to show? If reading fiction was all it took to be a scholar, I would have been one for 20 years!

Response: the better qustion is why a thread like this is always filled with the same hypocritical responses like yours, in which something is climed as fiction with no evidence for it.

You have yet to demonstrate the truth of anything regarding the foundation of your religion. All I have seen are baseless assertions and an appeal to documents with dubious authenticity and veracity.

Response: That is not the topic of the thread. It is rather you making baseless assertions. The topic is why Muhammad is perceived in a negative manner. No assertion was ever made. It is rather you dodging answering the question and wanting to divert to a different subject.

Mohammed is seen in a negative manner because of the actions of his more vocal followers and because of what the texts say.

[Al-Fatihah]

Wow, no interest to defend your position or have a discussion at all huh?

Does anyone else think this guy's a moronic poe?

Response: Likewise.

I told you why, but you chose to dismiss it.

(Caveat: I have not personally read the koran so can only go on what I have gleaned elsewhere)

Response: Yet there is nothing in the Qur'an or sunnah that reflects anything negative, supported by your inability to quote and prove otherwise. Thus it shows that Muhammad is of the best in moral and character.

Resonse: And I refuted your reason, and you chose to dismiss it.

Yeah, Al-Fatihah, better known as "Fatihah" is full of shit as ever.

Poes sure do get around.

Query: How do we determine if there is any truth to a claim, or do we simply take the claimant's word for it?

Response: Truth is what can be proven as a fact based on testable evidence.

Query: What is this evidence and how do we go about testing it?

[Welsh cake]

Stimbo, don't bother, he's a waste of time.

He's not here to debate.

[Cyberman]

Just cleaning my claws.

Resonse: And I refuted your reason, and you chose to dismiss it.

You refuted by saying people should accept the truth regardless of people's behaviour. I then challenged your claim of truth and you claimed I was changing the subject.
