I have read a story in Islamic history books about prophet Muhammed who sent one of his companions to KILL a female poet who opposed him (her name was Asma Bint Marwan). The Muslim companion crawled to her bed during the night and he found her sleeping with her child sleeping on her breast. The Muslim companion was so nice that he quietly removed the child from her breast and then he KILLED her with his sword. When the companion went back to propht Muhammed and told his story, prophet Muhammad praised him.
Does this mean that prophet Muhammed was very sensitive to opposition?

About the same way the church dealt with hers. Our favorite way was public burning or quartering or something equally grotesque. Did you know that the Catholic Church took Galileo off the Index in the mid 1990s?? As anybody who has to rule so also Mohammad was sensitive to opposition.

Asmaa Bint Marwan existed 200 years after Muhammed PBUH passed away!
The problem of this matter that people don't know this fact and keep debating around it, Asmaa Bint Marwan was the daughter of "AL Marwan Ibn Abd El Malik".. And Wikipedia - With all due respect - is Editable by anyone on earth.. It's not a Holy Encyclopedia.
Muhammad never ordered a Human to be killed except in two Cases:
1- War.
2- Direct order from God; i.e. "Kill the murderer".
If Muhammad was sensitive to opposition, he would have assasinated Abi Lahab, who - by records - Killed about 700 Mulslim, and tried to assassinate Muhammed 4 Times.
