Muslims have internally contested every core tenet of Islam since Muhammad

Evidence

The truth, of course, is that from the time of Muhammad to the present every single aspect of the faith (beginning with the divine origin of the Quran and the sanctity of Muhammad’s message) has been challenged, questioned, overridden, reinterpreted, counterinterpreted, discarded, and reasserted by Muslims themselves; absolutely nothing in the cliche-ridden utterances of Ibn Warraq is new to a Muslim ear, except, perhaps, for the self-loathing that makes one a bit uneasy to be in the presence of a writer so disgusted with himself. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 443 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
