M*W: I don't study Islam, so all I know about Muhammad is what I've heard about him. I did not specifically say Muhammad never existed. I don't care whether Muhammad existed or not. However, whether he did or didn't exist, I'll bet there has been a lot of myth surrounding his existence, seeing as how he was a prophet of Islam. The stature of prophet carries along with it the aura of myth. Look at celebrities in Hollywood, for example, they carry an aura of myth with them, too. It's a dirty job being a prophet, but history seems to require that it be done.
For the record, I study christianity and its prophet Jesus (who, BTW, didn't exist) as well as the Eighteenth Pharaonic Dynasty which includes the Egyptian (NOT Hebrew) pseudonyms of David, Solomon, Moses and King Tut. They may have existed but not under the names we know them as.
