   FUNDAMENTAL ABSURDITY OF ISLAM: OUR BELOVED PROPHET MUHAMMAD   
      
   For millions of Muslims around the world Muhammad is to be respected,   
    obeyed, and venerated. Koran requires that Muslims should “obey Allah   
   and Muhammad”,  “believe in Allah and Muhammad”,  And that “swearing   
   alligiance to Muhammad is to swear allegiance to Allah”, and that   
   one has no choice when “Muhammad and Allah have decided a matter”.   
   Koran equates “belief”, “allegiance” and “authority” to Muhammad   
   on an equal footing with Allah. [Q: 4.136, 9.71, 4.13, 4.14, 48. 13,   
   8. 20, 49. 14, 57. 28, 4. 80, 33. 36, 48. 10, 5. 33, 5. 34, 4. 64.]   
      
      
   In most societies WOMANISERS and looked at; MURDERERS, TERRORISTS   
   and ROBERS are put behind bars; and PAEDOPHILES can literally get   
   lynched.   
      
      
   So how about Muhammad in reality ?? Here are the data derived from   
   original   
   sources by Muslim scholars:   
      
      
   MUHAMMAD THE WOMANISER:   
      
      
   (1) Primary list of Muhammad’s wives and concubines 13. These are the   
   women   
   who may be regarded having been properly united to Muhammad.   
   These are: 1:Khadija, 2:Sawdah, 3:Aishah, 4:Hafsah, 5:Umm Salamah,   
   6:Zaynab,   
   7:Juwayriyah, 8:Zaynab, 9:Mariyah, 10:Umm Habibah, 11:Safiyah,   
   12:Maymunah,   
   13:Rayhanah.   
      
      
   (2) Secondary list of marriages which did not last: 16. This list   
   includes   
   women with whom Muhammad did not have a lasting union. These are:   
   1:Asma bint an-Numan, 2:Qutaylah bint Qays, 3:Mulaykah bint Ka’b,   
   4:Bint Jundub b. Damrah, 5:Fatimah bint ad-Dahhak, 6:Amrah bint Yazid,   
   7:Aliyah bint Zabyan, 8:Saba bint Sufyan, 9:Nashah bint Rifaah,   
   10:Ghaziyah bint Jabir, 11:Fatimah bint Shurayh, 12:Sana bint as-Salt,   
   13:ash-Shanba bint Amr, 14:Khawlah bint al-Hudhayl, 15:Sharaf bint   
   Khalifah,   
   16:Khawlah bint Hakim.   
      
      
   (3) Third list of women Muhammad considered marrying: 7. The marriage   
   plans   
   were however not carried out for a variety of reasons. These are:   
   1:Habibah bint Sahl, 2:Layla bint al-Khatim, 3:Umm Hani bint Abi   
   Talib,   
   4:Umm Habib bint al-Abbas, 5:Dubbah bint Amir, 6:Safiyah bint   
   Bashshamah,   
   7:Ammarah bint Hamzah.   
      
      
   In addition Koran allows all Muslim men free sexual access to slave   
   girls.   
   Koran also at one point strictly forbids Muhammad from taking more   
   wives [Q:33.52]. But this did not alter his behavior. He simply   
   neglected   
   Koran’s admonition. Note also that Muhammad married the wife of his   
   adopted   
   son, and Aisha was only 6 when the marriage with Muhammad   
   was ”bespoken”.

   MUHAMMAD THE WARMONGER and ROBBER CHIEF:   
      
      
   Muhammad has conveniently let Koran to allow him take a part of the   
   booty   
   from his many robbing and looting raids and wars. The first raid   
   conducted   
   by Muhammad was at Naklah. The intention was purely the robbing of a   
   caravan.   
   It took place when all hostilities were strictly forbidden because of   
   the   
   sacred Month. This is the first Muslim raid and robbery.   
      
      
   Muhammad conducted more than 70 raids and wars in a period of 20   
   years.   
   Al-Waqidi lists 74.  Seven of these are assigned to the first 15   
   months   
   of Hijrah. These were all primarily “robbing” raids. The basic data is   
   derived from the following references. Except for slight discrepances,   
   both of which confirm the data.   
      
      
   References:   
   Al-Waqidi: Kitab al-Maghazi.   
   Ibn Ishaq: Kitab Sirat Rasul Allah   
      
      
   MUHAMMAD THE MURDER:   
      
      
   Muhammad bears the responsibility for the murder of Asma bint Marwan,   
   Abu Afak and Ka’b b. al-Ashraf.   
      
      
   The murder of Asma bint Marwan is reflected in the following hadith:   
   “When the apostle heard what she had said he said, "Who will rid me of   
   Marwan's daughter?" Umayr b. Adiy al-Khatmi who was with him heard   
   him,   
   and that very night he went to her house and killed her. In the   
   morning   
   he came to the apostle and told him what he had done and he [Muhammad]   
   said, "You have helped God and His apostle, O Umayr!" When he asked if   
   he would have to bear any evil consequences the apostle said, "Two   
   goats   
   won't butt their heads about her", so Umayr went back to his people.”   
   ["Sirat Rasul Allah" by Ibn Ishaq, translated by A. Guillaume, as   
   "The Life of Mohammad". page 675.]   
      
      
   In an almost identical situation, the poet Abu Afak, reputedly over a   
   hundred years old, raised Muhammad’s ire. Muhammad exclaimed: "Who   
   will   
   avenge me on this scoundrel?" and Salim ibn Umayr was the helper of   
   Muhammad.   
      
      
   Muhammad has also advocated the murder of apostates and dogs. In FIKH   
   the Hanafi, Shii and Malikis agree that the adult male apostate must   
   be put   
   to death.   
      
      
   MUHAMMAD THE PEDOPHILE:   
      
      
   Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6, and consummated the marriage   
   when   
   she was 9. Muhammad used to play with Aisha and her dolls, and her   
   child   
   friends, and their children’s games. Accounts of Aisha’s interaction   
   with   
   Muhammad’s household confirm basic data about her age.   
      
      
   As noted by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawod, Tabari, an-Nasa'i, Ibh Majah,   
   Prof Nabia Abbott, Prof Magali Morsy: Muhammad at 50 married Aisha   
   when   
   she was 6 years old, and consummated the marraige 3 years later:   
      
      
   Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:   
   'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may   
   peace   
   be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted   
   to   
   his house when I was nine years old.
