Volume 9, Book 93, Number 639 : Narrated by 'AishaThe Prophet used to recite the Quran with his head in my lap while I used to be in my periods (having menses).

One wonders why he made a point of doing this - and how did he recite it when she wasn't having her period

I'm sure you know what Muslims would tell you: Allahu A3lam or Allah only knows! As if Allah really knows

Well I'm sure you must be aware that the ahadith tell us that Muhammad used to cross dress and he slept with a dead woman and he might have his likes for other men etc...

Now we know that al-Ahadith are all made up, anachronistic and bogus and as you might know the Persians had no like for Islam or the Arabs and along the lines of if you cannot beat them then join them the end result is that 70% of the Islamic literary sources were written by Persians and not Arabs and even the sira or his biography was written by Ibn Ishaq who was the grand child of a Mesopotamian Christian who was sold as a slave to the Arabs. I suspect that the end result is that many Ahadith show that MUhammad was a nasty character and as for the sira this is why in Ibn Hisham's redaction of Ibn Ishaq's sira (which is not extant) makes it very clear that he is editing and deleting all the unpleasant information Ibn Ishaq transmitted in his sira but we still got much of the nasty stuff about Muhammad

And many Muslims have no like for Ibn Ishaq or for many of the Persian Ulama again he who laughs last laughs best and i suspect that Ibn Ishaq and the Persian Ulama that had no like for Muhammad and islam must be laughing in their graves
