So Mohammed's first wife was a Muslim and taught Mohammed Islam? Go figure.

Since when is a fairytale a fact? It’s clear from the Quran's many Biblically derived stories that Judaism greatly influenced Islamic theology. The story of Noah’s ark appears in sura 10; Jonah and his whale in sura 37. The patriarch Abraham appears in many suras. And Moses figures prominently throughout the Quran, with his confrontation with Pharaoh retold numerous times.
Muhammad almost certainly didn’t read these rabbinic texts, but he is likely to have heard them expounded by rabbis from the three powerful Jewish tribes of Medina, the Banu Nadir, Banu Qaynuqa, and Banu Qurayza. The Quran's account reads like a retelling of the story by a man who has listened to it attentively.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
