Again I think it's irrelevant. You have some people (God knows why they think this) who hail good ol Mo as a champion of women's rights and a feminist. Yes, a full 1000 years before feminism really kicked off and despite him marrying a child.
It doesn't matter what Jesus and Muhammad were like because I can see the point of what some people say; it's not about "being a good Muslim like Muhammad", it's about power. These parasitical imams will appropriate the religion and call anything they want to "Islamic", and will silence people who disagree with them on accusations of blasphemy. That's why I think anyone who defends Islam's human rights abuses are very stupid.
Also in the context of the time, Muhammad wasn't particularly exceptional either. He's far from the only man in history to take a child bride and kill people. I don't mean to defend him, he's a despicable man by modern standards, he's just not all that exceptional for the time period (quite Unfortunately)

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
