::The problem is that Muhammad claimed to be serving the same God as Christians and Jews. We know that he was not, but Satan presumably impersonated Gabriel. So, if this page is to be written objectively as "He believed that..." then we should mention that (he believed) Gabriel directed him as already stated. However, we caould also write it subjectively as "Although this contradicts the Bible, he claimed that..."
::I don't know which option is better for sure, but I would probably mention that his teachings did go against the Bible, even though he claims to server the God therein. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 20:18, 21 September 2016 (EDT)
