Innocent 3rd defended the Holy Land from Islam, that was the first cause of the Crusades. What the mobs did was another matter! Don't know if he did call Muhammed the anti-christ. While Muhammed was well meaning, he was not for Jesus as Messiah.

Innocent III was, in his own way, an incrediblly effective Pope - he laid down quite a chunk of doctrinal law, revamped the church with a number of canons and made the Vatican much more prominent in the affairs of the political world than it previously had been. But he operated with a very keen idea of making the Catholic faith the ONLY faith-power in the world - and as he believed he represented christ on Earth, the other main world faith, in fact the one that still controlled Jerusalem, was a major danger to his plans. So there may - and I put this forward only as an idea - he just may have had an ulterior motive in condemning Muhammed as the Anti-Christ. Crusade to "liberate" the "Holy Land"...ring any bells? :o)

Seems to me he was a bigoted hate monger
Here's what he said about the jews
Pope Innocent III states Jews are doomed to perpetual servitude and subjugation due to crucifixion of Jesus
July 15, 1205
nnocent also held orthodox views on the Jews. His conventional anti-Semitic ideas would influence Europe into the twentieth century and beyond. There was for example nothing at all new in Nazi anti-Semitism. It was simply repackaged traditional Christian anti-Semitism promoted by men like Innocent III. The whole panoply of Nazi persecution was founded on Christian precedents espoused by Innocent. Hitler's Nuremberg Laws of 1935 were modelled in part on the decrees of Innocent III and Paul IV. Jews were once again deprived of civil rights, and marriage between German Christians and Jews was once again forbidden. When Nazis confined Jews to specified districts they consciously called those districts ghettos, maintaining respectability by emphasising that what they were doing was exactly what the Roman Church had done for centuries. The link was explicit. Before the war Hitler had boasted to Bishop Berning of Osnabrüch that he was doing what the Church had done for fifteen hundred years, only more effectively

Perhaps he isnt a reliable source on other religions

Is this a direct quote from the pope or is it some thing that someone said that the pope said?

The antichrist is supposed to be around in the last days. Pope Innocent III? not last days. His statement is false.

St. John wrote that anyone who denies that Jesus is God is antichrist.
Sounds like the description is an accurate one.
