Oh this time I will concentrate on the "and so on"

So the biggest literary fraud in the history of mankind aka the islamic historical tradition tells us, some 300 years after the death of Muhammad, about qissat al-muqawqas wa mariyya al-qibtiyya and it goes as follows:

Muhammad the Arabian warlord and caravan raider sent a letter to al-muqawqas the governor of Egypt asking him to become Muslim and al-muqawqas sends to Muhammad a slave by the name of Mariyya and Muhammad had sex with her and we have a big drama, among the many wives of Muhammad's in little abode, and Allah who is busy with his affairs take some time out so he can "reveal" surat al-tahreem! Oh and the rest is history. But I have the following questions for you:

1. If you read surat al-tahreem you will not find the name of a Mariyya or anything about a letter sent to a certain al-muqawqas right?

2. And if you read tafseer ibn Kathir you discover that this little drama was about Abul Qasim eating some bad 3asal nahl and having bad breath! And this is why we had this drama. Mariyya al-Qibtiyya? she is not even mentioned.

3. So the question now is: Did he eat bad 3asal nahl or did he have sex with a certain mariyya al-qibtiyya and this is why we have this little drama? So which one is? It is either one or the other and you know what? We can stop here and say that such qissa is not anymore than a qissa made up by the 3ulama to explain a Quranic allusion that no one has a clue what it means and this is not surprising in this opaque revelation called the Qur'an

4. Oh that is not all: As time goes by further writings about such fable have much more details so we are told that al-muqawqas also sent along with mariyya her sister Sirin (read this as Shirin which is clearly not a Coptic name but an Iranian name and a clear sign that those that transmitted this fable were Persians and not Arabs) and some food and god knows what and two donkeys by the funny names of daldul wa zarzur! Oh and there is a castrated Egyptian slave! and do you know what this means? It means that this was only a qissa! oh qissa? I do not translate arabic for wannabe arabs like you. and what a joke

6. The islamic tradition never identified who is really al-muqawqas but it is very clear that he is Cyrus the Melkite patriarch in Alexnadria and he is the one that surrendered Egypt to the invading Arabs in 642CE and more later

5. Now the tradition tells us that such letter was sent in 627CE but the problem here is that the Persians invaded Egypt in 616CE and did not leave Egypt until 628CE and Cyrus was not in Egypt then and he did not return to Egypt until 633CE or after the death of Muhammad and he left Egypt in 642CE after surrendering Egypt to the Arabs so who really got such letter? Let me guess it was not Cyrus

6. And did Muhammad write this letter? well the 3ulama that wrote the islamic tradition tell us that Muhammad was ummi or uneducated but this is not true as in Q96 it say iqra' bi ism rabak or read in the name of your God and it does not say recite and in the Qur'an tells us that he is al-rasul al-nabi al-ummi or the prophet (you can also read it as the messneger who is sent by Allah and therefore a prophet and who belongs to the Arabs line of prophets) who is also a prophet (nabi which is a loan word from Hebrew and is reserved in the Qur'an for Biblical prophets) but he is gentile (ummi) or non Jewish so it is a misreading of the word ummi which does not mean uneducated. We are also told that in Mu3ahadat al-Hudaybiya when he signed it as Muhammad rasul Allah he was told not to do so and he changed it with his own hands and his qalm to Muhammad ibn AbdAllah which means that he was able to write which means that he was not uneducated but again with the Qur'an being such poor literature it would not surprise me if he was indeed jahil

So now the question is: so did Muhammad write such letter in Greek or Coptic? Or did he write it is Arabic? But Arabic at that time was defective with no vowels short and times long and no shadda or hamza or sukun and you can read it any way you want to read it. And if it was written in Arabic did al-muqawqas have any arabs among his staff and help? What a joke

7. Now what is most amazing about such bogus story is the silence of the Coptic literary sources about such fable and we have papyri from Egypt as early as 642CE and we have John of Nikiu's narratives about the Arab invasion of Egypt. No one in Egypt, when the memories were still fresh, said that: Oh those are the Arabs and we know them because their leader Muhammad sent a letter to Cyrus who sent him a certain Mariyya al-Qibtiyya! and the silence of the sources here is significant because such story is bogus

8.Now back to mariyya al-qibtiyya: the bogus tradition tells us that she gave birth to a son and his name was Ibrahim but what is most amazing here is that all of a sudden she disappears and we are told that she died is 636CE or may be 640CE and only Allahu a3lam and oh Ibrahim? the only male child of Abul Qasim (we still have to sort out his kunya and who was really this qasim) he also died and not a shred of information about him for 300 more years because he never existed.

9. Oh more about the letter to al-muqawqas: we are also told this time by the Turks that they have such letter in an ivory box at the Topkapi museum! But if you check all the extant Muslim literary sources between 632CE and 750CE colletced by Hoyland in his survey you will never such letter and do you know why? because it is bogus

So you tell us ya ayuha al-falyasoof al-kabeer: did you still believe that Muhammad send a letter to al-muqawqas?

So much for the bogus story of the letters sent by Muhammad

See what happens when you become the slave of a foreign language and culture? I urge you to abandon islam and be free again
