AAF, you are not Muslim, therefore anything you say about Islam has not much credit with me.
Hello Norsefire;
No credit for outsiders; believers of every religion, always, say that to each other.
As someone who believes strongly in the correctness of 'Abu Ba'ajah', therefore, I should give no credit for your above statement! An eye for an eye; and a tooth for a tooth; and the one, who starts it, is the aggressor; right?
Now, let's look closely at your statement!
Concerning a specific belief system (e.g. Islam), whom we should trust more, the insiders or the outsiders? All things being equal, the outsiders are closer to the truth and more objective and trustworthy than the insiders are, for the following reasons:
{1} More often than not, the insiders are blinded by their faith in the belief system in question.
{2} More often than not, the insiders are accustomed to discussing only trivial and non-crucial matters of their belief system.
{3} More often than not, the insiders are unable to see the true foundations of their belief system.
{4} More often than not, the insiders have partial or complete amnesia with regard to the historical situation prior to the installment of their belief system.
{5} More often than not, the insiders have distorted and unrealistic views about the history of their belief system.
{6} More often than not, the insiders have very mythological and false images of the founders of their belief system.
{7} And finally, more often than not, the insiders hide the unpleasant aspects of their belief system from themselves, from their children, and from outsiders.
Therefore, it's in your best interest to give all the credit to my research on the real name of the Muslim Messiah and to pay no heed at all to the confused and misleading mythological stories of your imams about his true name.

Dear Muslims;
You have to understand that there is absolutely no 'Allah':
