Maybe it's me.

I dunno, somehow when someone uses a phrase like "the life of the prophet" and then says they weren't discussing anything in religious terms...

If you want to talk about the life and times of some guy named Mohammed, terrific! THAT is HISTORY.

When you add words like "prophet," you take it out of the realm of history and toss it smack dab into "myths."

Which is okay, I suppose, if you're discussing the history of myths...
