Now, most of you know who mohammed was and don't buy the bullshit that islam professes. He was no prophet. He didn't move a mountain. He didn't perform any miracles and he didn't ascend into heaven.
He was a poor Arabian unsatisfied with his plot in life and decided to build an organization that would not only unify the many warlords but also cause them to obey him. As Mecca was ground zero of every crackpot religion at the time, mohammed decided that he would model his religion on the success of the greatest myth perpetrated on humankind...christianity. Years later Joseph Smith did exactly the same thing, then L.Ron Hubbard and Moon, and the list keeps growing. The fortunate thing for mohammed was the area and the time that he did this. 6th century Arabia. A place with a wealth of disaffected people who were not only superstitious and illiterate but also persecuted by christians. So forming a religion FROM the christian religion was a stroke of genius. Not only did it tell these poor desert dwellers that all along THEY were the chosen people but it stole the high authority right from the christians. Hijacking, a practice the christians know all too well. Now all mohammed needed to do is unify a few disenfranchised Arab war groups and he was off to the races. He didn't have to fight other Arabs. He could march right in and unify them to fight christians. He could retake land that christians and Europeans had stolen from Persians and Arabs and keep going taking Asian and European land as well.
If you are a people starving and thrown off of your traditional lands by christians and I come to you and say but the christian god has sent me to be a prophet to bring you a new book for god knows that you have been wronged and all you have to do is obey god through me his prophet and we will take back your lands and even more. We will kill all that don't become one of us especially the christians. Wouldn't you mount your camel and follow him?
That is exactly what mohammed did. Nothing fantastic, nothing unusual. The difference between mohammend and the rest of the religious sellers at the time was mohammed offered a working solution to the conditions of the people. Geronimo did exactly the same thing on a much smaller scale. Of course, he didn't write a fictional handbook to go along with his bullshit.
mohammed was an accomplished warlord and nothing more!
jesus was a thief! mohammed was a terrorist! And nothing has changed, nothing! Both were frauds!
