Muslims in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are like most Muslims, in that they love the Prophet Mohammed and believe that he was the most virtuous, kind and wise man who ever lived. Where they get this impression I do not know, but it does not square with their own sacred texts; not just the Koran, but also the Sunnah and the Hadith, particularly the latter.
The Hadith is considered to be second only to the Koran as authoritative. It is a description of the life of Mohmmed and details all his trials and triumphs in his journey from illiterate camel driver to prophet to warlord. Along the way, he was extremely cruel, selfish and murderous, and exhibited virtually none of the virtues Westerners hold dear: generosity, compassion, charity, love and forgiveness. Indeed, Mo was unforgiving of those who doubted his authenticity as a prophet. He reguarly had those assassinated who dared to criticize him or satirize him with poetry, the medium of the day. He had one Arabic woman poet killed while she was nursing her baby; her Mohammed-appointed assassin brought her severed head to Mohammed and dropped it at his feet. Other poets and critics were tracked down and killed in similar fashion. Then it was poets, today it's cartoonists; with Islam, nothing much has changed from the 7th Century.
Mo started out on his prophetable life of crime by attacking his own people, robbing caravans in the desert and kidnapping members thereof, to hold for ransom. Being a multiculturalist, he soon looked for other sources of victims.
Mo attacked Jewish settlements merely to steal their land, houses and goods. In one case he took over a Jewish settlement that had been there for centuries, sending all of the Jews into the desert to survive as they might. In a more egregious case, he put all the Jewish men to death, about 800 of them, beheaded two at a time while Mohammed watched. Only boys too young to have pubic hair were spared. After the slaughter, Mohammed and his men engaged in a mass rape of the widows and daughters, taking as sex slaves those they wished, and selling the rest with the children into slavery. Such love, compassion and charity. It makes you want to run right down to your nearest Mosque and sign up, doesn't it?
In another attack on a Jewish settlement, Mohammed asked a Jewish man where any valuables might be hidden, and the man showed him an abandoned mine where there was some. Just to be sure the Jew had revealed all, Mo had him tortured by placing burning sticks upon his chest. Satisfied the man had told all he knew, Mo then had one of his henchman behead the man. Mohammed then spent the night raping the man's widow in his tent. Allah must have been so proud.
In another incident, one of the captives of a raid was an old woman. Since she had no market value as a slave, Mohammed ordered her to be killed. One of his captains then tied each of her legs to a different camel and she was split in two. The reason for this atrocity is not explained, but it appears to have been strictly for the entertainment of the Muslim warriors.
Mohammed was a very evil man, an odious and vile human being. There was nothing about him to either admire or respect. He is the author of Jihad, the unending war against the non-Muslim world which all Muslims are obligated to pursue. Muslims are often liars and terrorists, but they are merely emulating their prophet. They are being true to their religion, not hijacking it, as apologists of Islam like to claim.
If Mohammed was Allah's messenger, what was Allah's message to mankind? Two words, but since this is a family site, we'll let you use your imagination.
Why did Mohammed call himself a prophet? Did he really believe it? Maybe yes and probably no, but the ruse was his path to power and riches. While Mo stayed home servicing his growing harem, his army would go out and find some caravan, village or farm to attack and plunder. Mohammed got one-fifth of the take, plus taxes from all his followers. Obviously, the robbers doing the work and taking the chances might find the arrangement unfair or inconvenient if Mo was just another barbarian. However, it's a different story if he were a messenger of God, able to provide heaven and 72 virgins to anyone killed in battle. So the purpose of Mo's big scam should be obvious.
Mo's followers believed his promise of a big Bordello in the sky, and this made them fearless and relentless fighters. If they won in battle they got to keep a lot of stolen loot. If they died in battle it was rivers of milk and honey and a huge harem to provide nonstop entertainment.
This same mindset is seen today in Islamic suicide bombers, who believe that the detonator button on their explosive vest is really a key to the celestial boudoir. For them it isn't murder or suicide, it's party time. Unfortunately for the world, Mo's scam is still working 14 centuries later, even though he's no longer around to collect loot or sex slaves.
