So comparing certain "Muhammad" facts to what shortcomings the icons of Judaism and Christianity did does not make them any less evil. I have no issues with polygamy whatsoever since it served a purpose back then. But you brought it up nevertheless.
"One can become a saint not because of what one has done but how one obeys the command of God."
Muhammad is the prophet so you say. How much of his wrong doings (if they were even wrong at all) were answers to God's call?
you do know the difference between a six year old girl and a 12 year old right? Jews at least did not consummate marriages until the onset of puberty. It was not uncommon for people to bear children in their early teens during that time considering life expectancy was at the late 20's. But to consummate a marriage with someone who is
SIX years old who has not yet even reached puberty!? How the hell do you justify *** with a child? Well different principles back then I guess so different set of morals. But didn't the cries of the child at least bother the prophet?
For me Mahatma Gandhi acted more saintly than David, Moses, and Muhammad ever did combined. That is my concept of a saint and not that of David or Moses. David and Moses did what any dictator, monarch, or tribal leader did during those turbulent times. Same goes for Muhammad and newsflash: all three had blood on their hands in the name of God.
The fact remains that these people be their title savior or prophet all acted human because that's what they were.
Points to ponder, please explain:
Kill non-believers
4.89 : They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper. <------ Will you kill me too friend should you have the chance? Please don't.
