lack of miracles

on the answering islam page someone wrote this, how do you refute it?

5. The Lack of Miracles

The Quran states that Muhammad did not need to work any miracles other than the revelation of the Quran itself (Q. 6:125, 29:50). The Quran claims itself that it is unable to be reproduced (Q. 17:88). Christian polemicists contrasted the miracles of Jesus and the Old Testament prophets like Moses to the lack of Muhammad’s miracles.  Muslims soon began to manufacture miracles to counter Christian charges. The hadiths are full of miracles that are clearly created as polemical counters to charges by Christians and Jews

also, a quote made from Waleed Shoebats site

In this year [635 C.E.], Omar began to restore the Temple at Jerusalem, for the building, in truth, no longer then stood firmly founded, but had fallen to ruin. Now when Omar inquired the cause, the Jews answered saying, ‘Unless thou throw down the Cross, which stands on the Mt. of Olives, the building of the Temple will never be firmly founded.’ Thereupon Omar threw down the Cross at that place, in order that the building (of the Temple) might be made firm…”

Le Strange underlines the trustworthiness of this amazing report by emphasizing that the author, Theophanes, preceded the earliest Arab authorities on this topic by more than 50 years. He further highlights that Theophanes lived “considerably under a century and a half [after] the date of Omar’s conquest of Jerusalem.”

The miracles of past prophets were tiny in magnitude if one were to witness the miracle from outside of earth, such miracles were too tiny to be even spotted. e.g cure leprosy, blind, splitting of sea, reviving human by israelite prophets.

But Yhwh granted the Arabian prophet a miracle at a much bigger scale which was the splitting of moon. And ascension in a night to meet Yhwh at His throne.
