The Comforter is referring to the Holy Spirit, not muhammad.
It is a dangerous thing for the Holy Word of God/bible - to be taken out of context. The great deceiver - satan - convinces people that the Holy Comforter is muhammad because he {satan) does not want people to believe that Jesus was crucified and died. Jesus Christ was Resurrected from the dead by the Comforter/the Holy Spirit.
*If the "Holy" Spirit was not the third person of the Holy Trinity [Godhead] - then Christianity would never have existed.
If Jesus Christ was not crucified, and rose from the dead by the Comforter/Holy Spirit
then mankind would have No Way of ever coming to the Father through Jesus Christ to Receive the Free Gift of Eternal Life.
Satan, the Father of Lies - is the deceiver.
Christians wrestle not against flesh and blood [people] but against principalites, powers & rulers of the darkness of this world {satan & demonic followers).
Christians - as laborers together with God - daily Put on the Full Armor of God - in order to Pull down all the lying/deceiving Strongholds that satan has over the eyes of ALL Unbelievers{those who are not "yet" Born Again by the Holy Spirit of God/the Comforter. *And we Love{1Cor. 13:4-7;"11") our enemies {those who do not believe that Jesus was ever crucified and all those who are against the Cross of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection) and we Pray for all those who persecute us{The Body of Jesus Christ).
The Christians warfare is not against muslims/muslimah, or any other Non Believers of Jesus Christ - the Son of God *It is only against satan. Jesus says to ALL His followers "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Our enemies are those opposed to the Cross of Jesus Christ and those opposed to His Resurrection. Love {1 Cor. 13:4-7;"11") them unconditionally and with the Full Armor of God on daily we are to humbly pray for their Salvation. *Christianity is the only religion which prays for people to be Born Again by The Holy Spirit{The Comforter) who Jesus promised would come from the God the Father. That promise took place in the Book of Acts of the Apostles - and The Spirit of Truth {was not a man) = The Spirit of Truth is none other than The "Holy" Spirit of God - who resides within the heart of every Born Again Believer of Jesus Christ.
Satan is a defeated foe already because of the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross &
because The Comforter/The Holy Spirit of God rose Jesus Christ from the dead!
"Jesus 'is' Lord !"

The simple and straightforward answer to your question is that muhammed outright attempted to discredit both the Holy Books of Judaism and Christianity when he was inventing islam and the quran (koran). I believe that he twisted and distorted the stories he heard from both Jews AND Christians...and then tried to spin them into islam. You are right. It "all makes sense when you look at" it from the islamic view. That's because IT'S the distorted and twisted view. Take a look at it from the real Holy Books and you'll understand. Oh, and "tampered with"? Obviously there's a lack of historical knowledge at play here. A couple of minutes in google might help with your misunderstanding. And, btw, which VERSION of the qur'an are you talking about? And please don't try to say that there's only one arabic version. Google again shows that there are MANY arabic versions of the koran. .

Only where the Bible explains what a prophet of God is which prove him a false prophet. Christ spoke of the false prophets that would come. All point to Muhammad but not by name simply as a false prophet who would mislead many.

No, Muhammad lived, apparently, after the bible was written.

The prophet muhammed was born 300 years AFTER the bible was constituted in Nicea in 325 CE... Thus he couldn't have been mentioned...

Check out Matthew 7:15-20 and decide for yourself.

Does it mention airplanes? Microwave ovens? Richard Nixon? Mohammed hadn't been born yet.
Of course it doesn't mention Confusius or Sidhartha, either.
Or America, or Europe, or anything else that was outside of the 200 mile radius of where it was written. The middle east was the whole world, as far as they knew.

Nope. Only that false prophets will arise and to pay no attention to them.
Muhammad was not around until about 550 A.D.

Yes, and here is the evidence :-) Assalamu Alaiykum
Muhammad was predicted to come in the Gospel of John:
Just a quick note, the Arabic word "Muhammad" is an expression which means "The honorable one" or "The glorified one" or "The admirable". Prophet Muhammad was the first in the Middle East to be named "Muhammad". Below, you will see how Jesus in today's Gospel of John had called this human Prophet which he predicted his comming "The honorable one".
Jesus in the Greek Bible used the Greek word "Periklytos" which means the admirable or glorified one. He called that predicted human prophet "Periklytos". This word corresponds exactly to the Arabic word "Muhammad" which also means the "admired one" or "glorified one." In other words, "Periklytos" is "Muhammad" in Greek.
Let us start...
In the Bible we can find the following four passages wherein Jesus (peace be upon him) predicts a great event:
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever"
John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me"
John 14:26 "But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
John 16:7-14 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."
In these four verses, the word "comforter" is translated from the word "Paraclete" ("Ho Parakletos" in Greek). Parakletos in Greek is interpreted as "an advocate", one who pleads the cause of another, one who councils or advises another from deep concern for the other's welfare (Beacon Bible commentary volume VII, p.168). In these verses we are told that once Jesus (peace be upon him) departs, a Paraclete will come. He will glorify Jesus (peace be upon him), and he will guide mankind into all truth. This "Paraclete" is identified in John 14:26 as the Holy Ghost.
It must be pointed out that the original Greek manuscripts speak of a "Holy pneuma." The word pneuma {pnyoo'-mah} is the Greek root word for "spirit." There is no separate word for "Ghost" in the Greek manuscripts, of which there are claimed to be over 24,000 today. The translators of the King James Version of the Bible translate this word as "Ghost" to convey their own personal understanding of the text. However, a more accurate translation is "Holy Spirit." More faithful and recent translations of the Bible, such as the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), do indeed now translate it as "Holy Spirit." This is significant, and will be expounded upon shortly.
All Bibles in existence today are compiled from "ancient manuscripts," the most ancient of which being those of the fourth century C.E. Any scholar of the Bible will tell us that no two ancient manuscripts are exactly identical. All Bibles in our possession today are the result of extensive cutting and pasting from these various manuscripts with no single one being the definitive reference.
What the translators of the Bible have done when presented with such discrepancies is to do their best to choose the correct version. In other words, since they can not know which "ancient manuscript" is the correct one, they must do a little detective work on the text in order to decide which "version" of a given verse to accept. John 14:26 is just such an example of such selection techniques.
John 14:26 is the only verse of the Bible which associates the Parakletos with the Holy Spirit. But if we were to go back to the "ancient manuscripts" themselves, we would find that they are not all in agreement that the "Parakletos" is the Holy Spirit. For instance, in the famous the Codex Syriacus, written around the fifth century C.E., and discovered in 1812 on Mount Sinai by Mrs.Agnes S. Lewis (and Mrs. Bensley), the text of 14:26 reads; "Paraclete, the Spirit"; and not "Paraclete, the Holy Spirit.".

Yes but it refers to him as Satan the devil and his demons.
Isn't that where he got his information. Such wasn't from Jesus.
