Well if the Jew's suspected Jesus used demonic powers to do the things he did it suggests he must have displayed ability's which they considered supernatural...on the other hand Muhammad displayed no supernatural ability's of any kind and the locals thought he was just a blood thirsty madman!
You seem to think that a prophet needs to display supernatural abilities to be regardd as a true prophet.
Several Old Testament prophets did not perform any miracles or display any supernatural abilities.... and they are still regarded as legitimate prophets. How do you explain that?

Yes if they did not then they were not, same with modern "saints"
Most of the prophets of the old testament however lived unusually long lives which suggests some ability's

Oh, so now age is a factor in determining true prophethood? Stop moving goalposts,

He did oversee the beheading of 900 Jews, at the same time. Not a miracle I realize, but certainly a rather extraordinary act of utter barbarism and murderous brutality.

You can of course prove these other prophets performed miracles. I mean hard evidence not some story in a book.
Invent a time machine. Otherwise all you have is faith.

Muhammad never preformed a single miracle his entire life

The true Christian is willing.. but it takes two to tango.. without requiring a submission to an exclusive doctrine which calls for death to the other side.

The Christian Crusaders were as evil, and ruthless, and disgusting.
The problem with Islam is that the writings from the Medina, with talk about killing etc. are considered to trump the earlier, enlightened passages, of Mecca. Cleave that ugliness away and you've got a half decent religion. Leave it in and the whole thing must be discarded.
