Okay if I help? --El on ka 05:31, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't see this until now. I did not have the page on my watch list, strangely enough. As I linked this in my ArbCom evidence, it would probably be more appropriate to make a copy of this page at this point. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 05:53, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In case anyone wonders about the selection here

From the introduction to The Cambridge Companion to Muhammad (2010), which is a collection of essays, p. 13:

“

In the past fifty years, scholars have tended to shy away from sweeping treatments of Muhammad’s life, leaving to writers such as Karen Armstrong and Hans Küng the task of reconciling Muhammad’s story with modern life. The appearance of Michael Cook’s Muhammad in 1986 is remarkable for its exception to this trend, yet it also is arguably less a biography of Muhammad than it is a study of problems facing anyone who would write such a biography. Instead, Western scholars have either retreated into specific, narrow studies or rejected the search for the historical Muhammad altogether.
