Ya aiuha al-faylassof al-kabeer....

So run this one by me again: How can you really build up a case IN A COURT OF LAW that indeed there was a historical Muhammad that was born in 'Am al-Feel, and claimed that Allah that pre-Islamic Arabian deity spoke to him via an angel called Gabreel or was it 'Asrafeel, in a poor and disgusting part of the world called Arabia, and that he went on, among other things, to marry a 6 year old and have sex with her when he was 53 years old and she was 9 years old, raided caravans, and killed his enemies, raped women, and oh I forgot all these atrocities were committed in the name of his Allah that pre-Islamic Arabian pagan deity. I will be waiting for your answer with great anticipation.

Welcome to the study of history and it ain't pretty.

I will be waiting for your answer, and if you think that I will go away, forget about it.
