To be clear, if you were to ask a lot Muslims what was true, they would take your position mostly based on respect for some long dead religious figure.

However, I’m telling you that if you interrogate the primary sources, you would struggle to corroborate the story. In fact, every attempt shows it to be false.

I have little interest in following some long dead religious figure that is deemed β€œauthoritative”. My sole focus is in working out what is actually true.
