I read that Muhammed was actually born in either Spain or Italy (can't remember which), trained by the Catholic Church to be the prophet, and that the Catholic Church wrote the Koran. They thought this was their ticket to controlling the people in the Middle East, the same as they controlled much of the rest of the world at that time. Assuming all this is true, it looks like their plan backfired.
Thanks. Looks familiar, so that may be where I read it. It's certainly interesting, though I agree no way to know at this point if it's true. If all is revealed, maybe someday we'll know for sure.

I never heard that. Its an interesting angle. Thanks for sharing.
I can't vouch for the veracity of these claims, but I found this article that backs up what you're saying:

Note that the Jesuits supposedly had a hand in this.
Oh, and the link at the bottom takes you to an explanation of the origin of the Koran:
