JajakAllahu khair bro, May Allah bless you too for your effort.
At first, there is no use telling Muhammad SAW' "I am Gabriel", because he was not a Jew or a christian. So he was not supposed to know who Gabriel is. To him, Gabriel and Azazel had no differnce, before his prophethood!! To know he was an angel was enough!!
Again, if mr. satan was truly playing a trick, why didn't he introduce himself as Gabriel? That would be more clever and easy to make people believe?? What does this bloody critic mean anyway, by saying' "the angel never said he was Gabriel'? Does the fool mean that satan didn't want to lie?? ?? ?? ?? ??
So we have an honest satan here. 'I won't say I'm satan, but I won't lie either. That's a grave sin man!!!!' so says the pious satan.
Makes sense to me.
Another thing. An angel lives in heaven. If God just tells him- go and give him the message- the angel is not supposed to know about the man's illiteracy.
On the other hand, satan is on earth,always among us, tempting us. So who is supposed to know more about his illiteracy- an angel or satan??
I mean, seriously, satan chose one man among thousand arabs, and didn't know he was illiterate?
Also, why did satan chose an arab anyway? The chain of prophets was in israel only, as the racist bible says. So why did satan acted such foolishly, for the grand deception he was gonna make? The cleverest creature?
?
This is all logical fallacy bro,
