You said earlier that "There is a general misunderstanding that Islam as a religion started with the prophet Muhammad whislt in fact the Islamic religion was aready in existence when he was born with Noah, Abraham, Jesus etc all prophets of Islam. "

 

The Islamic religion wasn't in existence before Mohammad. Mecca was mostly pagan and had a variety of idols.... It was he who picked out bits of Judaeism and Christinity that suited then mixed and matched with his own sayings and distortions claiming he'd been "told" what he said was "the word of god".

 

It seems that when he was in his cave getting these revelations, he also suffered some sort of seizures......

 

He was "a bit upset" with the pagan people who drove him out of Mecca because they didn't care for his opinions so he went to Medina where he raised an army of followers.....

 

He vowed to annihilate the Jews and Christians who rejected what he was saying.....

 

Some of the goings-on after that are pretty controversial..... and so it went on and still goes on to this day? Peaceful huh?



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
