Apparently you have not read the biography of Muhammad....I am not sure why such people even post an opinion when they have no knowledge on the subject!dont know man.. but you are funny anyway...
ok my view on topic before I am thread banned...
The person who wrote the piece is an interfaith activist. I see an agenda here.. to bring people of different faith together.. while it is a good aim and I dont see anything wrong in that, it also means I will be a little suspicious in what he asserts (as much as I am suspicious of faithfuls)
Just went through wiki entry, which is much more neutral ( ya wiki.. I know what you are thinking)..
and the fact that as an Indian I have followed babas and godmen (unavoidable)... I see a lot of parallel between jesus and sai baba or siridi (the long dead sufi saint) ... and mohammed and sathya sai baba
I know both followers will be equally mad at me.. but here are the parallels
1. Claiming to talk to god or angels when nobody is around or only faithfuls
2. establishing a community of followers
3. using existing religion beliefs / figures
4. Using clever use of politics and opinion makers, and powerful people
5. leaving a legacy some of which is better than the person.. sathya sai baba has hospitals and charitable trusts that do a lot of good work.
1stly, if he is an interfaith activist, there is no harm, he is not forcing his ideas on anyone, just presenting what he understood...
What form of curiosity can that raise? Do you oppose interfaith dialogues? And then few threads ago it was said discussions between faith increases tolerance...
2ndly, I am not sure what Sai Baba told you but so far nothing in the Quran has been disprove, some of the stuff in the bible has been corrected before writing in the Quran (amazing innit?) and lastly, what is wrong in taking the good points which this guy put forward?
Are we soo used to negativity that when 1 positive element comes our way we have to scrutinize it? Or is it just a habit to scrutinize Islam for fun?
