Of the three main monotheistic religions—Christianity, Judaism and Islam—the last is the only one rooted in clearly historical events. By contrast, the early development of Christianity and Judaism is largely rooted in myth. We know for a fact that a man named Mohammed was born in Mecca about 570 AD, and that he went on to lead a religious revolution that redrew the map of the world. Here’s how Islam took root and spread around the globe.

Have you read Josephus, Tacitus? Have you read the ancient preserved texts of 1 Corinthians 15, written within ten years of Christs life? According to the rules of evidence these are facts. Robert Greenleaf. Now why don't you mention the Haggith and the the stories about Mohammed there? Talk about Myth and tall tales, he might as well be called Paul Bunyan. IN the future, I hope scholarly men post answers and not fanatical supporters of Islam.
