there is tons of information about him. what would you like to know?
i reccomend for everyone to read the koran- we should all learn about other religions. it doesn't mean you need to practice it.
a good website with tons of info is wikipedia.com.
but mohammed was a trader and worked for a woman, who later became his first wife. he went to pray on a mountain where the angel gabriel related to him the book koran. his wife was his first convert. from then on, he spread the religion, first by conquering the city medina and then mecca.
more info on the website.

The contemporaries of Muhammad weren'y eyewitnesses to anything miraculous When Muhammad. When Mohammad was challenged to perform miracles to confirm that he was from God, he never took the challenge (Sura 3:181-184; 4:153; 6:8-9; 17:88-96). Instead, he said he was just a man (17:93) and implied that the Qur'an authenticated him as a prophet (17:88). But there are no clearly defined miracles recorded in the Qur'an. Miracles were only attributed to Muhammad by Muslims who lived 100-200 years after his death because Christians kept asking them for proof that Muhammad was a prophet. These miracle claims are not based on eyewitness testimony, and give every indication of being legendary. Christianity began as a peaceful faith. So here's the contrast: in the early days of Christianity, you might be killed for becoming a Christian; in the early days of Islam's growth, you might be killed for NOT becoming a Muslim! In other words, the spread of these two great monotheistic faiths couldn't have been more different: Islam spread by use of the sword on others; Christianity spread when others used the sword on it.
"What about the Crusades?" the skeptic will interject. Take a history course-the Crusades did not begin until nearly 1100, more than 1,000 years after the origin origin of Christianity. And the initial rationale for the Crusades was to take back the land the Muslims previously had seized by military conquest from the Christians. So it was Islam, not Christianity, that intially spread by military crusade.

You can go about this two ways.
You can a pro-Muhammad, and pro-Islamic view on this. Or you can get an anti-Muhammad and anti-Islamic view on this.
I believe in viewing both sides. But believing in the good only.
So, go to www.islamonline.net. It is a great site.
Or go to www.prophetofdoom.net like someone else mentioned about. Prophetofdoom is actually very biased and misleading in the quotes it is using.
In my opinion, Muhammad was just a normal human being in the Arabian peninsula during 570-632. He became a prophet of the religion of Islam at the age of 40 when he received a revelation from Angel Gabriel in Mount Hira where he use to meditate. Rest of his life involved being persecuted and migrating as a result of that, as well as defending his followers and protecting women and children during battles that were waged against him.

Muhhammad is a man who got a vission from the angel of God, but Christ from God. He was a merchant just a regular man, so that proves what christ says from his death until end we have the right through our spirits to revieve an angel and speak with GOD. just to get points by the way.to reach second level

It's called Islam. I think there's some info available on it but you will have to actually read. You might actually learn something.
