This is so odd that I saw this article today, I have been thinking deeply on this the past couple days;

Something no one is pointing out is the similarities between Muhammad and David Koresh and L. Ron Hubbard-rather than him and Moses and Jesue. The major difference is that Muhammad was successful in sustaining his flock. Both Muhammad and Koresh used their "deity" to have all the women they could want, including the underaged. All 3 were able to use their "religion" for immense personal wealth and power within their community.

Many would shudder to make this comparison publicly I have thought, like Muhammed personally, forget the crusades where Christian followers, but Muhammed himself used the sword to convert people-and L.Ron using deceitful economic pracities and dishonest marketing to convert-all to follow themselves to their direct benefit.

Jesus was humiliated, left this earth with a tunic and sandles, a handful of followers, and nothing else. The other 3 left with alot more money, women, prestige, and power. History has dismissed L.Ron Hubbard and David Koresh as the selfish, powerhungry frauds they were, I hope for the Arabs that one day they are smart enough to do the same to Muhammed.
