Understanding Muhammad

New PageWhat causes Muslims tobe violent? What spurs them to riot and murder over the silliest things? To understand Muslims, one must understand their prophet. This psychobiography seeks to unveil themystery of Muhammad. Historians tell us heused to withdraw to a cave, spending days wrapped in his thoughts. He heardbells ringing and had ghostly visions. He thought he had become demonpossessed, but his wife reassured him he had become a prophet. Convinced of hissuperior status, Muhammad was intolerant of those who rejected him, assassinated those who criticized him, raided, looted, and massacred entirepopulations. He reduced thousands to slavery, raped, and allowed his men torape female captives. All of this, he did with a clear conscience and a senseof entitlement. He was magnanimous tothose who admired him, but vengeful to those who did not. Not only he believedhe was the most perfect human creation, but the universe's raison d'etre. Muhammad was no ordinaryman. This book ventures beyond the stories. Focusing on the "why" ratherthan the "what," it unravels the mystique of the most influential and yetmost enigmatic man in history. Islam is Muhammadanism.Muslims worship Muhammad. Allah is Muhammad s alter ego. Only by understandinghim can one know what makes them tick. Understanding Muhammad, will end Islam.
