He was a "smart" guy who convinced some other not so smart guys that he was a prophet. He stole parts of the Hebrew and Christian and other local religions, "parts" and tried to make his own "belief". That is why they "admit" Moses and Christ from other religions as prophets.
But, how can you just "admit" Jesus as a prophet and ignore the fact that he said that He was the God himself? Maybe you are agree or may be not! But you can not "admit" his existence in some aspects and ignore the "final conclusion" of His teaching. This is crazy, or... hypocrisy.
And how, the muslims answer to this: If Jesus said a few "good" things he is a prophet, but we do not accept some things he said about being the God himself. Doesn't that "make" Jesus at list a blaspheme, or a straight liar? If I was a muslim I wouldn't "admit" Jesus my friends. But the muslims do! And that is a problem because that is the only way for the muslims to claim that allah had a plan, before Mohamed, for the people. And that he didn't just abandoned humanity until mohamed 's arrival!
All the "false" religions have the same problem: They didn't have any plans for human race, until the arrival of their first "prophet" or something. And they don't have any "solutions" in their belief about the people that they have never met their own religion. The "faithless" according to muslims. Oh! I think they have a solution... holy wars!

Why don't you read a book if you are genuinely interested? Is your other name "ex Muslim cowgirl"? No? How about "original Muslim rocks"?

Muhammad was born into the Quraysh tribe. He is the son of Abd Allah, who is son of Abd al-Muttalib (Shaiba) son of Hashim (Amr) ibn Abd Manaf (al-Mughira) son of Qusai (Zaid) ibn Kilab ibn Murra son of Ka'b ibn Lu'ay son of Ghalib ibn Fahr (Quraish) son of Malik ibn an-Nadr (Qais) the son of Kinana son of Khuzaimah son of Mudrikah (Amir) son of Ilyas son of Mudar son of Nizar son of Ma'ad ibn Adnan, whom the northern Arabs believed to be their common ancestor. Adnan in turn is said to have been a descendant of Ishmael, son of Abraham. (ibn means "son of" in Arabic; alternate names of people with two names are given in parentheses.)
He was also called Abu-Qaasim (meaning "father of Qaasim") by some, after his short-lived first son.
Muhammad was born into an affluent family settled in the northern Arabian town of Mecca. Tradition places it in the Year of the Elephant, commonly identified with 570. Some calculate his birthday as 20 April of that year, while Shi'a Muslims believe it to have been 26 April 570. Other sources calculate the year of his birth to have been 571. Muhammad's father, Abdullah, had died almost six months before he was born and the young boy was brought up by his paternal grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, of the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe. At the age of six, Muhammad lost his mother Amina and became fully orphaned. "Many years later, when he was exiled by his Meccan opponents, on his first pilgrimage from Medina to Mecca, he stopped at his mother's grave and cried bitterly, bringing tears to the eyes of his companions. When he was eight years of age, his grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, who had become his guardian, also died. Muhammad now came under the care of his uncle Abu Talib, the new leader of the Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe, the most powerful in Mecca.
Mecca was a thriving commercial center, due in great part to a shrine (now called the Kaaba) that housed statues of many Arabian gods. Merchants from various tribes would visit Mecca during the pilgrimage season, when all inter-tribal warfare was forbidden and they could trade in safety. While still in his teens, Muhammad began accompanying his uncle on trading journeys to Syria. He thus became well-travelled and knowledgeable about foreign ways.
Muhammad became a merchant. He "was involved in trade between the Indian ocean and the Mediterranean Sea." He gained a reputation for reliability and honesty that attracted a proposal from Khadijah, a forty-year-old widow in 595. Muhammad consented to the marriage, which by all accounts was a happy one.
Ibn Ishaq records that Khadijah bore Muhammad six children: three sons named Al Qasem, Abdullah (who is also called Al Tayeb and Al Taher) and Ibrahim, and four daughters. He was also called Abul Qasim (father of Qasim) after his eldest son Qasim, according to Arab customs. All of Khadija's children were born before Muhammad reported receiving his first revelation. His son Qasim died at the age of two. The four daughters are said to be Zainab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatima.
The Shi'a say that Muhammad had only the one daughter, Fatima, and that the other daughters were either children of Khadijah by her previous marriage, or children of her sister.
Edit: Oh yeah, fine, thumbs down me. Go ahead, reject the truth, I know I'm right and you're wrong, and you know it.
