This is an important book on the life of Mohammad. It describes clearly that Mohammad was delusional, given to epileptic fits and imagined things that did not happen. There is immense detail in the book backed by copious source documents.
It is difficult if not impossible not to conclude from reading this narrative that Mohammad conceived of and wrote the Koran, which he attributed to Allah, who, of course, “recognized” him, Mohammad, as the Messenger of God.
Mohammad's message was received as Allah's words and any atrocity such as murder, assassination, rape, terrorism, enslavement, lying, highway robbery or stealing he authorized or committed was deemed to be an order from Allah or condoned by him.
Since in Islamic teaching Mohammad is considered the perfect man worthy of emulation, right and wrong as understood in the West is an irrelevancy. Since Mohammad was violent, so Islam is violent. Murder, rape, terror to "advance the cause of Islam," is allowed if not encouraged.
Anyone who showed disrespect to Mohammad was a candidate for death, even a female poet sleeping with her child. Anyone who refused to convert to Islam and accept Mohammad as the Messenger of God, such as Jews and Christians, were killed or enslaved or allowed to live as inferior beings paying a head tax as the price of staying alive.
That’s Islam’s teaching today as being lived out by ISIS and Boko Haram. Whatever maturation may have occurred in Islam through the centuries has been wiped out by the Saudis, whose oil money has funded the return to 7th Century hatred and intolerance in what is being taught in Islamic schools, mosques and cultural centers around the world, not just in Muslim majority countries but in North America and Europe as well.
Mohammad set out to conquer Arabia and then the world for "Allah" with armies of killers rewarded with the booty they captured, 20% going to Mohammad. Quite an incentive along with virgins in Paradise for those dying in violent jihad against "those who would not submit." Generations of Muslims have been indoctrinated with the myths of Mohammad and taught "submission to Islam." That means submission to what Mohammad said and don't ask any questions.
By decreeing death for apostasy, Mohammad has trapped millions inside Islam who have learned the truth but are afraid to leave.
Many through history, such as President John Quincy Adams, perhaps our smartest and best read president, concluded that Mohammad made it all up. Today our leaders pretend that’s not so.
It is impossible to reconcile Mohammad's angry and hateful Allah with the God of Judaism and Christianity.
Islamic basic documents deserve to receive the same scrutiny by scholars that Jewish and Christian texts have received and the resulting truth will benefit the world. However, fear of being killed is probably what keeps researchers away.
Everyone should read this book and reach his or her own conclusion.
