women were treated very harsh during pre- islamic times they could not own property ,travel out side of thier homes, had forced marriages and most were killed at birth. mohammad married a wealthy and very successful business woman. while in a cave, gabrial came down and told mohammad he was a prophet. he then started preaching in mecca. the people did not like him for insulting the gods of thier ansestors. they ridiculed, insulted, called him a lunitic and treated him very harsh. when he heard of a death threat. he ordered his 83 followers to ethiopia while he travel to medina. mohammad then started robbing caravans that came from mecca. allah then told him about jews plotting againest him. he was forced to kill the males, take thier property and sell thier wives and children as slaves after 6yrs of this. mohammad then supprised the people of mecca with a army of 10,000 at thier gates. they surrendered and started worsipping allah and his messenger......is this account accurate?
