No apologist will reply to this message

Dear Dr Pipes:

The reader Cinderella questions why Muhammad avenged violence with violence. Let me predict: No apologist for Islam will come forward to answer this question.

Muslims do not get tired of saying that Islam considers Jesus a prophet. I think that is just opportunism. The life stories of Jesus and Muhammad are diametrically opposite of each other. If Jesus is a prophet according to Islam, why did not Muhammad learn something form him?

I am neither a Christian nor a Muslim.
