Gday,

There is no doubt that Mohammed existed, occasional attempts to deny it notwithstanding. His neighbours in Byzantine Syria got to hear of him within two years of his death at the latest; a Greek text written during the Arab invasion of Syria between 632 and 634 mentions that "a false prophet has appeared among the Saracens" and dismisses him as an impostor on the ground that prophets do not come "with sword and chariot". It thus conveys the impression that he was actually leading the invasions.

How underwhelming.
Where is the actual CITATION for this alleged Greek document?

Anyway - at best you have evidence of a "false prophet".
So what?

Did you accidentally omit the other 1/2 of your post?
The part where you showed this "false prophet" actually WAS Mohamed?

Or do you somehow argue that it MUST have been Mohamed, because... well, because WHY?

Did you notice that your web-site actually pointed out just how LATE and meagre the alleged "evidence" was? That we don't have any hard contemporary evidence?

"In the case of Mohammed, Muslim literary sources for his life only begin around 750-800 CE (common era), some four to five generations after his death, and few Islamicists (specialists in the history and study of Islam) these days assume them to be straightforward historical accounts. "

So, it's just like we said -
there is NO CONTEMPORARY evidence for Mohamed.

Just CLAIMS.
