This is a thinly veiled No True Scotsman argument. You ask why non-muslims have such a poor opinion of Muhammad. We are inundated with examples on an almost daily basis of Muhammad's most fervent followers acting in a manner that betrays a depraved immorality. You want to dismiss this by saying it's not what was really taught while ignoring that some are teaching it today in Muhammad's name.
