You can't take "what people have done in the name of religion" and force it onto two guys (one of which may not have existed) and say, "therefore they must have wanted things that way."
Those doods had no idea what people were going to do with this. You think Jesus thought Pat Robertson was going to invent a Christian Diet Shake in His name? Please!

Jesus I don't know about. He might not even have been a real person. There are too many conflicts in the stories, both internally and with the recorded history of the period.
Mohammad is much better supported in history. It is certain that he did exist. Better to think of him as an excellent field commander and an effective politician. I think his creation of Islam as a unifying state religion, as a source of and instrument of the rule of law was brilliant. He was likely the only person to ever unify the middle east. Brilliant statesmanship. For a few hundred years his system worked pretty well, but like all systems it grew divided mostly from internal stresses.

Jesus and Mohammed were men who sincerely believed that what they taught would help people either by building a more loving, peaceful world or by 'saving' their souls.
Clearly they were also men with their own anger and prejudices who may have incited others to acts of rebellion against religious and secular laws they believed were wrong.
Their intent was good, even if some of the results of their teachings have been abused to perpetuate hatred, prejudice and war against anyone who does not live according to the rules adopted by their followers.
I would have to trust in the historical accounts to judge whether in my opinion they were themselves rioters and I do not believe that the accounts of those times are unbiased enough to rely upon. However, it is possible to interperate the texts to support a concluson that Jesus and Mohammed were indeed rioters.

No I do not believe they were rioters....they spread the word...
You too can do as I can do.......
Jesus is a Healer he healed with his hands. Many Reiki Masters, Practitioners and Angel Energy Channellers take his word......we too can do as he has done.
Walk with me and I will show you the way....
The way of Jesus is the way of the light.....
Many Light Workers today communicate with Christs Consciousness. Jesus appears in many energy healing sessions I have attended, he has even come to my own healing with Mother Mary and Archangel Michael. Archange Raphael is the Boss of Angel Healers....his guidance in this is priceless and his energy is very strong.
Jesus was a channeller, as many in the bible were. Channelling is a natural part of who we are spiritually. Religion when interpreted does not condone what Jesus did (remembering Jesus is not a religion, he was the son of God) through pointing the stick at those who do - people like me. Jesus channelled simple. He was not judged to be a sinner for this act.
I channel spirit...it is not evil when one comes in the light of Christs Consciousness.....St. Germain ...St. John....St. Christopher...the list is endless....try Doreen Virtues website on Ascended Masters whom have come back....yes come back..she has plenty of Archangels for you to aquaint self with too, if you are open minded to this view, which is NOT new age, it has always been....so it is OLD age.
Jesus came back...he re appeared, as he still does to the individual today only not in public, who would probably only believe it was a holographic display anyway.
Jesus is here now, he never left us. Jesus Heals.
Blessings be yours in peace & light,

They were teachers and like all of us "questers" in the spirituality inside all of us. Whether you consider any such person right or wrong, it was done because they felt driven by a new and large belief in something they felt and wanted to share.
