Achilles' heel of Muslims are 3:
1. Unscientific ahadith (fly in the glass, sun prostrating under the throne every night). Ka'b Al Ahbar words turned into prophetic ahadith.
Generally attributed to: Abu Huraira, Ibn Abbas, Abu Darda, Abu Sa'id al Khudri.
2. Awful and crual behavior attributed to the Prophet ﷺ: great focus on jihad, killing babies is ok, murders, eyes removal, etc.
Generally made-up stories by Umayyad rulers in order to justify their own ruthlessness, and Ibn Ishaq's legends he transmitted.
All false.
3. Compromission with idolaters: Prophet ﷺ allegedly eating meat sacrificed to the idols during jahiliya, satanic verses story, and other made up stories.
Again, all false, but it requires detailed investigation in every case.
The worst slanders against the Prophet ﷺ are not cartoons and non-muslim attacks, it's the work of early transmitters who transmitted everything and anything.
It's a pill hard to swallow but yes, Muslims are the biggest slanderers of their own Prophet ﷺ.

As long as you consider the ahadith as "true until proven otherwise" you're wrong and don't follow the sahabas methodology. It's all lies until proven otherwise. And imo truly authentic ahadith are very few. You'll notice great wisdom, few words used, only greatness of character.
Once you understand and discover the true personality of the Prophet ﷺ with the tiny sample of truly authentic ahadith, you fall out of your chair. You understand why "he was a walking Quran". You understand why the sahabas loved him so much.
