It wld be v tricky to write a bio of Muhammad using the historical methodology that @rezaaslan has applied to that of Jesus. #No7thCJosephus
@holland_tom That's bc we know very little about M's world. We know everything about J's world.

@rezaaslan Well - ALMOST everything! -
@holland_tom@rezaaslan It might be difficult for you, Tom. Reza did a pretty good job in No God but God. Loved Rubicon, by the way! -
@MonkeyCh0ps The account in NGBG was more about the Muhammad of Muslim tradition than the man of history (Tho@rezaaslan may disagree?) -
@holland_tom@MonkeyCh0ps I do not agree w the "hagaristic" sources you relied on. Think Crone et al are mistaken.
