The Wall Street Journal published an article a couple of days ago titled "Professor Hired for Outreach to Muslims Delivers a Jolt - Islamic Theologian's Theory: It's Likely the Prophet Muhammad Never Existed". The WSJ also has a translation of an article written by Professor Kalisch, in April, apparently.
This story hit the news in early September, when Muslim groups cut ties to the professor, who was in charge of writing up the Muslim education curriculum in German schools. I've seen it reported on various news outlets since, but this story did not make a splash until a WSJ reporter decided to write about it. Kalisch and his university are taking precautions, but nobody claims that there had been any real threats.
Btw, despite the Wall Street Journal reporting to the contrary, the address of Kalisch's center is still displayed on their website.
