“The greatest crimes, the greatest “sin” of Mohammed in the eyes of Christian West is that he did not allow himself to be slaughtered, to be “crucified” by his enemies. He only defended himself, his family and his followers; and finally vanquished his enemies. Mohammed’s success is the Christians’ gall of disappointment… He did not believe in any vicarious sacrifices for the sins of others.” (Edward Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.)
“The lies which we [Christians] have heaped round this man (Mohammed), are disgraceful to ourselves only.” (Thomas Carlyle, Heroes and Hero Worship)
Mohammed never assigned himself a status more than a common man and a messenger of God. People had faith in him when he was surrounded by poverty and adversity and trusted him while he was the ruler of a great Empire. A man of spotless character who always had a confidence in himself and in God’s help. No aspect of his life remained hidden nor was his death a mysterious event. (M.H. Hyndman, The Awakening of Asia)
“In my view, Islam is the only religion in the world that will remain eternally practicable in changing times. (George Bernard Shaw, The Genuine Islam, 1936)
“Mohammed brought an end to idol worship. He preached monotheism and infinite Mercy of God, human brotherhood, care of orphan, emancipation of slaves, forbidding of wine --- No religion achieved as much success as Islam did (Sir William Muir, Life of Mohammed)

The reasons lies are spread about the Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) is because of the church... the same as they tried to make Issa(pbuh) god or the son of god which he is not.... All the Prophet(PBUT) served one GOD and he is ALLAH(swt)

Mohammad is not GOD! Our GOD is a GOD of love, Mohammed is not! Anyone who would go put a bomb on children and go blow up a bunch of people for Mohammed has some real wrong beliefs!! Our GOD would never have his people to do that. We are taught to love other people inspite of who they are or what they are - we don't always approve of what they do - because so much of what Muslims believe is so contrary to what Our God teaches us! God sent Jesus to die for our sins and all we have to do is accept Him and we will be born again. Christianity is so simple, it's hard for people to believe it sometimes. We are free from religion when we accept Christ as our Savior. We don't have all those rules and regulations like Mohammad imposes on his people. We are free indeed when we accept Christ - you will know deep within your soul and you will know that you know you are saved and going to Heaven when you become born again!

You carefully selected articles to show the good side of Mohammad. Where's the other side ? Tell us about the little girl that he picked up. He could have invited her into his house, and raised her as his own grand-daughter. Did he do this ? Nope, he "married" her and made a harem slave out of her. What a great guy ! She was nine years old. I believe he was sixty at the time.

YES! he did some good things. The real problem is the violence committed in his name by followers; same with Christ!
You cited some scholarly references, there are equal references that state that Mohammed did wage AGGRESSIVE war on other tribes. And that he married a 13 or 14 year old girl. So which one is true?

The reason so many lies are told about Muhammad is because there are almost 2 billion Muslims telling them. The quran allows you to and you are just following your false prophet's example. He did say being deceitful was allowed and a very good tactic in war. It also says in the quran that allah is a deceiver. Don't try to lie and deny this.
God Bless.

Muhammed was born almost 600 years after Christ.
He tried to re-write history and falsify the teachings of Christ by writing the Quran.
Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ...that is hypocrisy...
They deny the divinity of Christ.
they deny his claim to be the Son of God;
they deny his death on the cross...
they deny His ressurrection..
They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
In fact, the Quran says: "Allah has no son".
Need I say more...?
Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .

ANY religion that claims to be the only way to God is a lie.

Why did Muhammed murder more people in the name of his idol than any other person in history?
2007-05-20 14:56:41 · answer #9 · answered by The Ghost Host 1 · 3⤊ 1⤋
he married a child and his followers make war on everyone who isn't one of them
Crusades, pedophilia, slavery, war, and the muzzling of women is simply not ok
