Didn't say he wasn't war-like, he was every bit what the Jews who invented him were. So was any society at the time which would not be enslaved by others - in days where social ideas were far less developed and the consequences of failure were far more harsh, you would do unto others or they would do you. Again, you try and hijack the point, which is that one story was about a group raising their people from the ashes, while the other was about how good it is to be a man!
There are both good and bad regarding Mohammad. He wasn't what I would consider a decent person at all (I personally would not get along with either Moses or Mohammad), but his life wasn't just about him being "a man". An example of good deeds he did was to show respect and support for the less fortunate (poor, orphans, widows). He can also be seen as a hero who endured years of persecution but then prevailed over the persecutors.
You see Moses as a saint compared to Mohammad, but it really is all a matter of perspective.
