Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.

The logic here being that if it isn't in the Koran, as written by Muhammad, then the event never occurred?
Using logic as a guide, isn't that using a lack of evidence as proof?

I didn’t use logic to answer your question, you simply inquired about the last supper and communion in the Qur’an, and I provided the answer according to that source. Now I might use logic according to the Bible to prove to you that Jesus never got crucified, in which you may follow this link (Jesus & Jonah) if you wish to see my argument concerning this matter.

If Jesus is the only living prophet, then why is Christianity found so objectionable in certain Muslim countries?

Don’t judge Islam by Muslims.

Also, what role do the apostles play? Are they not witness to what occurred?

No they were not eyewitnesses according to Bible scholars also. Even the books that were written and bearing Jesus’ disciples names (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), were in fact written by anonymous authors who never meet Jesus. Plus, none of the writers claims to be an eyewitness, and that’s why all accounts are at odd with one another in their narrations.


Another point just to think about is that all Jesus’ disciples were lower class citizen from Galilee, illiterate, and Aramaic speaking, while the authors of the gospels were highly educated and Greek speaking who lived outside Palestine. So the answer is no, Jesus’ apostles were not eyewitnesses or ear-witnesses to the happening.
