Christian apologist David Wood argues in his debates and videos that Muhammad is a false prophet by referencing specific accounts and traditions found in early Islamic texts. The Main Arguments by David Wood Are As Follows...
• Initial Fear and Confusion: Wood states that Muhammad panicked after his first encounter in a cave, initially fearing he was demon-possessed and considering suicide. He argues a true prophet of God would have peace instead of panic.
• The "Satanic Verses": Wood points to traditional accounts where Muhammad mistakenly delivered verses that allowed for prayers to pagan deities before later retracting them.
• The Poisoning at Khaybar: Wood highlights the narrative where a Jewish woman served poisoned meat to Muhammad after the battle of Khaybar. He notes that Muhammad suffered from the effects of the poison over time until it ultimately caused his death, an event Wood outlines in his analysis on Two Simple Proofs that Muhammad Was a False Prophet.
• Biblical Tests: Wood uses biblical criteria, such as the test of a prophet in Deuteronomy 18:20, to argue that prophetic standards in scripture disqualify Muhammad.
Islamic Response
Muslim scholars and apologists strongly reject these claims and arguments. They maintain that traditional accounts are taken out of context, misinterpreted, or that Christian criticisms rely on weak or fabricated historical reports. Islamic theology views Muhammad as the final, true messenger of God.

00:00Why is Muhammad such an easy target for us? According to me, it's because Muhammad was the most obvious false
00:04prophet in history. According to Robert, it's because the people inventing Muhammad for their new religion made him sound like
00:10the most obvious false prophet in history.
00:12When they could have made him sound like absolutely anything they wanted, the most reliable, most trustworthy, most miraculous person
00:21who've ever walked the planet.
00:22Instead, they come up with a guy who thought he was demon possessed, repeatedly tried to commit suicide, delivered revelations
00:28from Satan, was a victim of a magic spell, delivered false prophecies, accepted a meal prepared by a woman whose
00:35family had just slaughtered, dying like a rat and being completely exposed as a false prophet.
00:41It just doesn't make sense. When we look at the Muslim sources, we learn that the prophet married more women
00:47and girls than his own revelations allowed, married the wife of his own adopted son after causing the divorce by
00:52lusting after her, loved sucking on the tongues of little boys, was constantly covered in semen, and left us with
00:58a pretty good idea of where that semen came from.
01:00And he died in exactly the way the Quran said he would die if he was a false prophet.
01:05Now, that's what they came up with. A Jewish woman offers to cook Muhammad a meal, even though he just
01:10slaughtered her entire family.
01:12There are about 8 billion people in the world. You could ask all 8 billion people.
01:17If you just slaughtered a woman's entire family and she says, hey, I'd like to cook dinner for you.
01:22Is that a good idea to accept that offer?
01:248 billion out of 8 billion people will say that is the dumbest idea ever.
01:30Do not do that. Muhammad is the one exception in all of history who thought, gee, this is a great
01:35plan.
01:36The poison ate away at Muhammad's internal organs and he died in horrible agony.
01:44Because look at what Muhammad said when he was dying.
01:47I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I'd eaten at Kaibar.
01:51This is the time when it has cut off my aorta.
01:56Why is that a strange detail to invent if you're making up stories about Muhammad?
02:01Because according to the Quran, that's exactly how Muhammad was told he would die if he was a false prophet.
02:07Surah 69 verses 44 to 46, Allah declares.
02:10And if he, Muhammad, had fabricated against us some of the sayings, we would certainly have seized him by the
02:17right hand.
02:18Then we would certainly have cut off his aorta.
02:21How did Muhammad die?
02:22He died going, I feel my aorta being cut.
02:24I gave a list of things that we certainly would find sick and repulsive.
02:29The story of Muhammad and Zainab, his adopted son's wife, that he sees her practically naked.
02:36His adopted son divorces her so that Muhammad can have her.
02:39Muhammad marries her.
02:40This caused a big scandal.
02:42People were really, really, really upset about this, according to the Muslim sources.
02:45They thought of it as on the level of incest.
02:49And the result was that Allah had to abolish adoption to make it so that this guy was never his
02:54adopted son.
02:55It didn't count in order to justify this.
02:58And with the Satanic verses story is Muhammad, again, wants his tribe to accept his revelation.
03:04So he wants a revelation that's going to make his tribe convert to Islam.
03:09And then Satan gives him what he's looking for.
03:12Muhammad delivers this revelation promoting polytheism, saying you can pray to pagan goddesses now.
03:18But a little later, Muhammad came back and said that these verses, which he had delivered as part of the
03:23Koran, weren't really from God.
03:25They were from Satan.
03:26And he replaced them with the words we find in the Koran today.
03:30Now, if you wanted to invent a prophet and you wanted to make shirk associating partners with Allah, the worst
03:38possible sin anyone could ever commit.
03:41Would you portray your new prophet as a man who committed shirk and convinced the entire Muslim community of his
03:49time to commit shirk with him?
03:51And portray him as someone who couldn't tell the difference between a revelation from God and a revelation from Satan?
04:37And portray him as someone who couldn't tell the difference between a revelation from God and a revelation from God
04:49and a revelation from God and a revelation from God.
