I don't accept that logic.
Since the Greek poet Homer was blind, he was obviously unable to read and write (i.e., he was illiterate). Does it follow from this that Homer couldn't have written the Iliad or the Odyssey?
Likewise, if we accept as fact that Mohammed was illiterate, it does not logically follow that he couldn't have composed the Koran.
