Why follow one prophet and ignore the rest?

Caliph al-Malik is believed to have built the "Dome of the Rock"

My mistake, bad spelling,

Abd al-Malik

We have to realize at this point in time was the separation, of what would later become Sunni-Shia

Muhammed lift no successor and after his death, probably by poisoning, Ali, and Bakr vied for the position.

This is another story altogether, so I won't get into it now.

Anyways there are now two major factions of islam, 3 counting the muscavites.( Bad spelling again)

Malik left writings the Sunni strongly disavow, and wrote some pretty nasty stuff about muhammed.

However, what he left is part of the earliest sources of islam

As Abd al-Maliki was the 5th Umayyad Caliph it is kind of difficult to contemplate he would have had any Shi'ite tendencies.

I am not saying he had Shi'ite tendencies, so much as he had much to say that is not agreed with by Sunni.

Considering Sunni is the largest, I can see where he would get flak.

He also considered himself "The Mahood".

Jesus's prophecies are recorded in only one book: The Holy Bible. His prophecies completely contradict the Koran.

One major problem, is Islam claims all these people, and hides their actual work, just name dropping, but "Don't look into it."

Malik had an apparent Christian earlier life, not muslim as claimed.
Little writing survived from him, but the first writings came from his era.

Also we do have actual coins from him, struck during his era, with the cross on them.
I am sure you can find pictures online, I will look, I have them in books.

The bible is 64 books, not one, and it was written long before the Qur'an so any contradiction is the other way around.

Islam was plagerized from Judism, Christianity, Zoestranism, and Greek medical.

66 books not including the Apocrypha *.My belief is that the Koran was given to Mohammed by an angel just as claimed, but that angel was not Gabriel, but another angel falsely claiming to be Gabriel.

* You are perhaps combining the two books of Samuel and Chronicles as is the case in some Bibles.

Belief's are one thing, facts are another.

The Qur'an is from the 9th century, not the 7th.

There are almost endless reasons why it did not come from any God.
