Do you know your prophet?

Here in North Africa, like the rest of the Muslim world, the Muslims who follow Mohammed as God's prophet are ignorant of his life and deeds. Often we ask Muslims here what they would think about a man…and then insert the actions of the prophet Mohammed. They are always repulsed by his actions and then surprised when his name is inserted as the culprit of the mentioned deeds. A certain ex-Muslim who works with PNA in North Africa was witnessing to a man with a 4 year bachelor's degree in Islamic law. He asked him, "Did you know Ayesha was only six when Mohammed married her and nine when he consummated her marriage physically?" The man had never heard this.

Next time you meet a Muslim and have a chance to witness, try quizzing him about his the life and habits of this great "Apostle of God".

(The following facts are taken from Muslim writings documented in their own history.)

What do you think about a man who:

…at the age of 53 would marry and have sex with a girl of 9 years old?
Mohammed married two women in a space of 2 months after the death of his first wife Khadija. The first wife named Sauda and the second Ayesha, who was 7 years old at the time.

…would attack an unarmed group of people during a truce, killing one and capturing another?
Mohammed sent a band of 9 warriors during the month of Nakhlah, a sacred month in which it was unlawful to shed blood, to attack an unarmed caravan of merchants. This was their first murderous expedition in which they killed one, took another captive, and stole much booty.

…would kill a sleeping woman by her baby?
Mohammed, in the famous Battle of Badr in 624, overcame a force of 1,000 with 300 well trained warriors. Their captives after the battle were all slaughtered. One captive of Mohammed was a woman named Asma and her small baby. She, having refused to accept Mohammed as a prophet was killed by the sword at night as she laid by her baby.

…would kill people of another religion who live in his own town and then take all their money?
Mohammed systematically ordered the assassination of the Jews in Medina who opposed him. One notable one was Kab Ibn Ashraff. He along with all other Jews in Medina was murdered or expelled and their wealth was confiscated by the prophet.

…would marry the wife of his adopted son?
Mohammed having lusted after the wife of his adopted son, Zaineb, married her once Zaid had divorced her to please the sensual lusts of his father/prophet.

…would sleep with hundreds of women who weren't his wives and have over 60 wives besides?
Mohammed had an estimated 60 wives in his harem. He also was known to sleep with many slaves and concubines whom he never married. This was allowed in the holy book only for the prophet of God who was above the laws of other men.

…would behead 700 people personally without mercy?
Mohammed once infuriated by a town of 2000 Jews who refused to recognize his authority as prophet, separated the men from the women and children. He lined the 700 male captives up by the side of a ditch. Six at a time they were brought out in front of the prophet and beheaded until all were extinguished. Mohammed then proclaimed that a work of the Most Merciful God!

…would force a woman into his bed for life?
After that battle, Mohammed forced one woman named Rainah to marry him against her will and share his bed. This is known as rape today.

…would raid a man's home for his money, rape his daughter, only after the torture and death of the man of the house?
During a raid on a particular Jewish village called Khaibar, Mohammed learned of a stash of gold and silver in one home. He raided it, took the booty, and forced the 16 year old daughter of the man into his harem. The man was tortured and killed. His village paid annual taxes of 50%.
