PREDACTED the fradulent act of backdating a modern writing creation to an earlier Historic figure. More common than we think. Its widely believed the Biography of Mohammed is an ancient tome written in the 8th century by . the revered Ibn Ishaq Though it was actually written in the 19th CENTURY by Heinrich Ferdinand Wustenfeld who was born in 1808, died in 1899 but between 1858 and 1860 that two year period he went to four different German cities, went into the libraries of those cities and grabbed whatever he could find in Arabic because he's an Arabist, tried to find anything he could find about this guy named Muhammad and he put it together in that two yr period and published it in 1860 as the Life of Muhammad attributing it back to Ibn Ishaq, when Ibn Ishaq didn't write one of those words. Folks, the biography of Muhammad that we all use today is only 160 years old, written in the late 1800's. So massive fraud
