George Bernard Shaw. one of Europe's most famous figures said
of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
"I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today."
Michael Hart ranked him number 1 in his book:
A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History.

Wow!
Have you read the Palestinian Religion professor Dr. Annis Shorrosh's book "Islam Revealed"? He gives a look at Mohammad and Islam from the inside. Dr. Shorrosh does not think as much of Mohammad as Shaw. Unlike George Bernard Shaw, Dr Shorrosh lived in Islam, he had a better view.

See what great people like G. Bernard Shaw & Michael H. Hart say about him, and compare it to what ignorant people with no credibility and no objectivity say about him.
Jay Z,
Yes right, George Bernard Shaw never met Muhammad & The asker never met him either & neither one of them can claim to know him. But you are the one who met him so u know better!

George Bernard Shaw never met Muhammad.
You never met him either.
So, Neither one of you can claim to know him.
The faith of Muhammad was a very perverse faith, even though he originally accepted the Torah and New Testaments himself. It is too bad he didn't become a follower of Christ instead of a leader of wildmen.

Isn't this the same Muhammad that propels the terrorists to kill all infidels mainly the Jews & Christians? They both worship another God so is this his way of wiping out any competition? Is your man/god the reason the pres of Iran sponsors the rad Islams who's mission is to force their belief in your man/god on all others & take over the world? Is he the man/god who promises virgins as a 'pie in the sky' reward for suicide to kill others? Anyone can talk of peace and leave nice refections but since when is it acceptable to kill & destroy others to achieve this?

But what proof that Muhammad ever existed, how do we know if he is not just mythological character. and Koran is just combination of old and new testaments and full of Jewish tradition.

Anyone who invents a religion based on eternal agonising torture of non-believers has to have been a bit of a sicko.

I know he was an epileptic pedophile that heard voices. Voices that no one else did. He also was a killer and murdered many. The historical record is quite clear.

Please read the book, "The Truth About Muhammad" by Robert Spencer. It has been based on historical events on his time and life.
Learn the truth.
