Muslims believe that the invisible unknowable essence Allah, the embodiment of all virtues, the most perfect creator, chose Muhammad to be the bearer of his comprehensive ideal prescription, the Quran, for all humans for all times. No true believer in Allah can do better than emulating the conduct of Allah’s perfect handiwork, the messenger of Allah Muhammad. So goes the refrain of Muslims the word over.
Fortunately for both Muslims and non-Muslims, Muhammad is not around so that we can personally observe his conduct and be tempted to emulate him. What is possible, however, is to go to authentic Islamic records and discern what Muhammad did during his life and judge it for ourselves.
The absence of Muhammad is fortunate for the Muslims, because it enables them to spin miles of yarns about how virtuous he was. There are more stories about the kindness, his generosity, his forbearance and whatnot than any dozen men could do in ten lifetimes. So the Muslims, heads in the sand, keep reciting to each other all these most likely made-up tales.

It is fortunate for non-Muslims that we won’t be inclined to do some of things that he did. Again, many accounts of his actions, as recorded and reported by reliable authoritative Muslim sources, would be clearly considered criminal in civilized societies of today.
*Special Hatred for the Jews. Muhammad, for one, was a model of spewing hateful speech, cursing all non-Muslims repeatedly, with special venom reserved for the Jews. In the Islamic scripture, headed by the Quran, the Jews are cursed and called all kinds of names for nearly 400 times.
I am curious. Is it Allah who so despises the Jews, or is it Muhammad? Either way, it doesn’t make sense to me. If it is Allah speaking these derogatory terms in the Quran, then I am shocked. It is unbecoming of the creator of the universe, the source of all good, to devote so much of his book to cursing a few millions of his own creatures. Recall that the Quran claims that not even a leaf falls with the permission and decree of Allah. So, why is it that he allows the Jews to behave in ways that he condemns?
If it is Muhammad who is angry at the Jews, then it makes sense. The Jews keep rejecting him and telling him to take a walk and take his sale pitch somewhere else. But what doesn’t make sense here is that he claims that every word of the Quran is that of Allah. So which is it? Am I daft, or there is something illogical here?
*Abusing Women. Islamic records report that Muhammad had numerous wives. Some even admit that they can’t provide an accurate count, because he took wives so often and with great liberty. A number of his wives were slave women — women taken as booty of battles. Well, okay. Maybe he was doing what the Arabs of his time did. Make war, take everything, including women and children, and treat them exactly the way you would treat their livestock. If you found a woman you desired, she was yours. That simple.
But he also married a child of one of his most senior followers, Ayesha. The poor child was nearly a six-year old toddler when he married her and consummated the marriage when she was barely nine and he was pushing sixty. Now, Ayesha was not a slave girl that he could take that kind of liberty with her and treat her like a piece of property rightfully his. She was Abu Bakr’s daughter. Did Muhammad bamboozle old Abu Bakr, or did old Abu Bakr’s lust for power make him offer his little girl to Muhammad?
Either way, what Muhammad did established the shameful and criminal act of marrying little girls as a legitimate practice. Not long ago, a member of the highest Islamic Cancel of Saudi Arabia issued a fatwa saying that in Islam, there is no age limit for marrying even infants.
Now this is the kind of religious sanctions that ought to make you cringe.
*Other Practices. Just a couple more points here. Muhammad also declared killing non-Muslims, plundering their possessions, and taking their women and children as slaves to be held or sold as acceptable. He legitimized slavery and even described how slaves should be treated as second- and even possibly third-class people.
Muhammad also established what amounts to a modern-day protection racket. He actively encouraged his followers to attack non-Muslim caravans and habitats, get all the loot they could, give him his cut of 20% and keep the rest.
If we were to engage in civilized societies in any of these behavior and others that I am sparing you from enumerating them here, we would be in serious trouble with the law.
But again, if you are the representative of the creator and owner of the universe Allah, everyone must give you a wide birth. And people did. It just so happened that men of Muhammad’s time very much liked what he did and preached. Never mind women. Women did not count in pre-Islamic Arabia; nor do they count much in Arabia’s birth baby, Islam.
*Muhammad’s Praiseworthy Acts. Let us set aside these well-documented unseemly and even criminal activities, and look at some of the good things attributed to Muhammad.
One particular case relates to Muhammad’s trying time in Mecca. The story is that an old Meccan woman would throw tumbleweeds on Muhammad as he walked by. In response, Muhammad would speak to her kindly and inquire about her well-being. This is often cited as an example of how kind and forgiving he was. Keep in mind that Muhammad was very meek in Mecca and had lots of ill-wishers and very few friends. He was in no position of retaliating in kind to any abuse he was subjected to. Also, it stands to reason that people are inclined to treat their friends and even total strangers kindly and compassionately. What truly measures the worth of the person is the way he treats his enemies.
Once out of Mecca and in power in Medina, Muhammad hardly bothered inquiring about the well-being of old women. He did, however treat his friends — his followers — kindly. But he showed absolutely no mercy for his enemies. He had his enemies — anyone and everyone who did not fall in his fold — treated by the sword.
He was the all-everything on earth, as Allah is in the universe. Muhammad would freely issue fatwa and decide the life and death of thousands. He found the Jews of Medina guilty and condemned them to death en masse. He personally presided over the gruesome mass beheading, in which hundreds of men lost their lives.
What was their crime? These Jews did not want to become his followers. They did not want to become Muslims. They had their own religion and they saw no reason to flock to Muhammad’s and hand twenty percent of their income on a regular basis to him.
In short: I, for one, would hardly want to take Muhammad as my exemplar and emulate him.

If Mohammed lived today he wouldlikely work part time as a primary school crossing guard , and according to SahihAlbukhari , would be touching many of them innapropriately. Can you picture him calling for women to be abusedif they didnt cover up , lying , stealing and robbing but being a coward not defending himself when confronted but getting others to barbarically torture anyone who questioned him , abusing blackpeople , poisoning peoples dogs and telling the community god hates a rt and music . He’d be the worstperson to have living near you and would play the victim as he always did accusing me of hate speech for criticising him and telling his creepy friends god will reward whoever killed me. Not a good code of conduct for anyone tofollow this man , imagine hundreds like hi , trying toemulate his example ?

It goes to show how important context is doesn’t it?
Although I suspect many even from his own day would consider him a disgusting slimy turd.

Firstly, and most likely, practicing his repugnant pedophilia. Secondly, bestiality and other depravities. Not to discount mass-murder of non-Muslims, specifically Jews.

Ina real society, people are judged by what they do. In the phoney world of islam, people are judged by what they pretend to be. The emulation of a criminally insane pervert from history is a convenient way to rationalize assorted lies and other crimes.

What on Earth is the Islamic Cancel of Saudi Arabia?
Amil Imani is correct though when he writes that if people really believed
Mohammed was the true representative of Allah in this world, they would
give him a wide berth in spite of Mohammed doing brutally reprehensible
things (btw-there’s no such thing as granting other people a wide birth) –
AND he is even more correct that a lot of men simply liked being
associated with Mohammed’s barbarity. After all, Islam gives free rein
to Man’s most uncivilized and base instincts – murder, rape, and a sense
of superiority over everyone else without making a productive effort to
earn it.

It is astounding how Muslims still look to this man as the perfect model of humanity.
