I answered your question already, just you are not happy with it, you can judge them by their fruits, if they have no fruits then they are not what they claim or what others claim about them...including modern saints who have preformed zero miracles.
Truth is humans have not preformed miracles for a long time because there is a science behind it and that is lost to the modern world!

You said in this post :
Yes if they did not then they were not,
So all those Old Testament prophets who never performed miracles are false prophets according to you? Great, I wonder what Christians and Jews have to say about this.
Truth is humans have not preformed miracles for a long time because there is a science behind it and that is lost to the modern world!
The "truth" according to....? yourself?
The idea of miracles being done through ancient knowledge makes for an interesting discussion topic, but its not what the OP was about.
You are bringing that up at this point, after being told that the Old Testament prophets also did not perform miracles.
What you call miracles - like healing people etc. is a normal ability of a saint.
I have healed people and I am not even a saint.
Yes there is knowledge which is known to very few.
(Muhammad) Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants." Koran 17: 88
Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe. Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful. Koran 52:34
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah , if you should be truthful. Koran 2:23

Cool.
But this isn't about miracles themselves or the knowledge behind miracles - that's a fascinating subject by itself but the OP was about something else.
The OP was questioning the prophethood of Mohammad, because he supposedly performed no miracles. He posits that since Mohammad did not perform miracles, he wasn't a true prophet.... and implies the same for the other prophets of the Old Testament who also did not perform miracles.

They demolish the point of those saying Christianity is just as bad.
As a Christian it is my firm belief that as Christ said My own shall come unto me and I shall steal back what is stolen from me.
If you are called to Christ then you are called to Christ, If not then not, If I go to an Islamic country and start preaching I will join there victims but if an Islamic comes to my country and starts preaching he will not be persecuted, so a religion that has to kill the competition to thrive and hide the alternatives how is that then the truth as you can see it is not the truth.
and as the man on the video whom converted to Christianity said what then was Muhammad's prophecy, a prophet with out a prophecy is no prophet at all.
And to Mekhanics yes there are those who leave Christianity as they are not called by Christ, the chaff shall be separated from the wheat and the wheat shall enter into the barn (heaven) the chaff shall be thrown into the fire.

You do know that Mekka (Mecca or Meccah alternative spellings) was a trading city and was sacred to a pantheon of false god's such as those that are embodied by the hand of Fatima and the black stone and Salmon rushdi spoke the truth and quoted passages from an original text in which Muhammad told the people of Mekka they could continue to worship there idols as they were the high flying crane and would intercede with Allah or was that left out of your education about Islam and the so called prophet without a prophecy.edit on 10-8-2013 by LABTECH767 because: (no reason given)
