I don't think that is correct. I have known Muslims who believe that many of the world's religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism, were originally founded by Prophets. Some would even admit the possibility of Taoism, Shinto, and other faith systems as having a Prophetic origin. The difference is that Muslims, with the principal exception of the Qadiani Ahmadis, do not believe that any Prophets will come after Muhammad. With regards, Mark A.
