Muhammad the Greatest: A Comparative Study
December 9, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Through my comparative study, I've noticed that of all religious people within history, none shares as big of a difference in point of view in character and merit amongst people than Muhammad. While muslims see Muhammad as the prophet of islam, a honest, decent, loving messenger of God, and the greatest example for humanity on the best way to live, many non-muslims see Muhammad as not only a false prophet, but attribute some of the most degrading and immoral characteristics and behavior to Muhammad. Such a completely different view of muslims.
I've analyzed the the qur'an and sunnah of Muhammad thoroughly and have seen nothing of the point of view that non-muslims share which makes me ask the question, "where do these differences come from?" Is Muhammad the greatest example of the best way to conduct ourselves? Let's have a discussion.

a) wrong or,
b) insane.
Welcome to reality.

Should I be surprised that a muslim is enamored with stories of their favorite legendary character? I hardly think so. What would be noteworthy about that? Christians finger Jesus, others finger Buddha, personally.....I like Johnny Appleseed................
Off the top of my head, I'd say the differences come from not having swallowed the koolaid.

Confirmation bias anyone?

Response: An honest man also does not pass of responses of alleged that something is an alleged fairy tale without a rational argument to support it.

Response: The reality is not being questioned. It is rather why it exist that is questioned.

Response: Nothing wrong with being bias, as long as it does not conflict with logic.

I don't understand why you lot insist on having "Muhammad" as your first-name/title and then get offended if any non-Muslim correctly calls you "Muhammad". How pointless. Don't get me started on people who call themselves "Muhammad Muhammad" and then get offended when addressed. That would be the asinine equivalent of every single Christian in North America having "Jesus" as their first-name/title.
Jesus Christ that would be really dumb. >.>
