Oh yeah he is a Mullah! which means that he is a nobody

The answer is it is all islamic delusions and I happen to believe that Muhammad is a later creation of the islamic tradtion and that he never existed

>That he was not cuckolded by Khadija who could have sort solace elsewhere? After all she would have been well aware of his often brutal treatment of women - and it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that he in fact had no descendants at all.

Well if you have the time then read Henri Lammens' brutal and fatal attack on veracity of the sira (the biography of Muhammad) in his master work "Fatima and the daughters of Muhammad" and in the process he proved that all the sira is no more than another form of Quranic exegesis and that it is all qissas or stories that were written two to three centuries after the death of Muhammad in-order to explain all these Quranic allusions that do not make any sense and none of the ulama had a clue about what these allusions really mean and he also proved that that all the sira is unhistorical which means that Muhammad's sira is no more than another Harry Potter magic and all

Just imagine if you and I try to write a biography about the life of let us say George Washington without any literary sources! You know what the end result will be? It will be no more than a story and there will be nothing historical about such biography and this is indeed what happened in the case of Muhammad's sira. It is all bogus

>Of course this is conjecture but no less fanciful than the bulk of Islamic 'scriptures' - some of which show evidence that all was not as modern-day muslims would like to have the world believe when it came to Mo's supposed sexual prowess.

Do not forget it is all qissas (stories) that means nothing and lead us no where
