Jesus' execution is in the romsn and jewish records and mohammed's family were a well known middle eastern merchants.I think it is pretty well documnted and accepted they both existed as people...you are perhaps getting confused with their claims to divinity?

All known 'external' documentary sources are either proven or suspected Christian interpolations, pious frauds or have been disputed or discounted for other reasons.


> and jewish records


Jewish, Christian and Islamic sources are considered self-serving therefore not acceptable as credible evidence.

There is no independent or credible evidence that Prophet Mohammad (saaw) was a historical figure, unless you can demonstrate otherwise.

Widely accepted as matters of faith - that doesn't count as evidence, though.


>...you are perhaps getting confused with

> their claims to divinity?


No, not at all, but let's not go there before first clearing up this point.

I'm sorry - you were the one that offered up evidence. Opinion is not evidence, I'm sure you know that.

Ok, I've got this ancient document written in Hebrew that says G-d gave me your house, valuables and your ass. You can keep the ass, just PM me when you've vacated the premises and I'll nip over and take possession. Leave the ???? on the table. May the Lord go with you.

How did you guess? Don't tell me - the little voice in your head, wasn't it?


Seriously, there ain't no evidence, is there? Just wishful thinking and blind faith. Have a good holiday.

Wikpedia -


Muhammad's life is well documented within numerous records in historical texts, although like other premodern historical figures not every detail of his life is known

How fascinating Mick! He seemed the most down-to-earth superb Human Being on God's Earth!


Did you meet him and what was he like M8?


Mick give yourself a treat for 5 Minutes and put the following into "You Tube"


"Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues"....this was why Rory was universally loved. After 2 mins 30 seconds the crowd in France are on the stage head-banging with him and then he carries on, playing on top of the Amps and back amongst the madding crowd again.

Exhilarating stuff and I never saw him. More fool me.

No - I did not meet him TLS - It was my first job, I was too junior and was not allowed to meet clients. Spoke to him on the phone once, he seemed ok. Also he was a local hero in Northern Ireland. Have always meant to get into his music and have watched him on Youtube following one of your previous posts, really talented guy.

Met Joe Strummer a couple of times and he was great, I also had his phone number while he was staying with one of the Conrans and used to call him up on the way home from nights out.

He also once lent my son twenty quid to get home from Brixton when he spent a long evening backstage at the Academy.

      Cyclist visibility

      You are again misinformed. The Highway Code is also clear about clothing.   It is here. Section 59 Section 59 of the Highway Code explains the appropriate clothing cyclists should wear in order to make it easier for other road users to spot them and help to keep them protected in the case of a collision. Cyclist clothing: Helmet – Your cycle helmet should conform to the current regulations, be the correct size for your head and be securely fastened. Appropriate fitted clothing – Your clothing should be tight fitted to prevent it getting tangled in the chain or wheel of your bicycle. Light clothing – Light and fluorescent clothing will help you to stand out in daylight and poor light. Reflective accessories – Strips on the helmet, as well as armbands and ankle bands will help you be seen in the dark. and  Section 60 This section of the Highway Code is all about cyclists’ lights and reflectors. At night cyclists must have their white front and red rear lights lit. Their bicycles must also be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors. White front reflectors and spoke reflectors can also increase your visibility to other road users. Flashing lights are permitted but cyclists riding in areas without street lighting should use a steady front lamp instead.

      I am aware. You didn’t read my post properly: I was pointing out that people can wear whatever clothes they feel comfortable in. And that a moped isn’t a bicycle.

      Earl A…… You are misinformed. There is a legal obligation for cyclists to have front and rear lights. Rule 60 of The Highway Code

      Angelina, I think you have identified a genuine issue and I have noted similar. If cycling, in its various forms, continues to grow then I think safety education will have to somehow be addressed.
