Who Is Muhammad?

[best]

Muhammad was born in Makkah in the year 570 CE, during the period of history Europeans call the Middle Ages. Muhammad was the son of 'Abd Allah, a noble from the tribe of the Quraysh. Muhammad's father died before Muhammad's birth, and his mother, Aminah died shortly afterwards. Muhammad was raised by his uncle, Abu Talib.

As he grew up, Muhammad became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, earning the title of al Amin, the trustworthy one. Muhammad was frequently called upon to arbitrate disputes and counsel his fellow Makkans.

Muhammad was of a contemplative nature, and had long detested the decadence of his society. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira' near the summit of Jabal al Nur, the 'Mountain of Light' near Makkah.

mo-ho-mad was a vicious, greedy, phony. The things he called "decadent" in others he was guilty of ten times over. There was and is nothing holy about mohammed. He was a LIAR, a MURDERER, A PROSTITUTE, A WOMANIZER, A CHILD MOLESTER, he lusted after and took his son's wife - and in fact the reason he had women cover themselves, is that he was such a lecher - he figured all men were looking at HIS wives the way he looked at theirs.

Mohammed, as a holy man, is biggest myth and joke to ever survive history.

How does islam justify mohammed's lifestyle and then punish and brutalise other people for doing what he did - not what he said? Why does islam turn a blind eye to it amd make excuses for it? Or maybe islam thinks none of the above is decadent - although that's supposedly why the West is so bad.

Best, please explain the story of Safiyah Bint Huyeiy Ibn Akhtab, the Jewish woman who was captured when Muhammad’s troops attacked Kheibar and brought her to the Prophet as part of his share of the booty.
