Not to your post, specifically, but as a general reply to the thread and topic: In the interest of fairness and truth, Muslim don't worship Mohammed. They worship God, whose name is rendered in Arabic as Allah. Muslims revere Mohammed as a prophet, in the same way the Jews revere Moses and Christians revere the 12 Apostles.

It's important to accurately describe differences if intelligent people are to arrive at understanding and tolerance. Muslims don't worship Mohammed any more than a Mormon worships Joseph Smith. Prophets are regared as messengers and servants of God. A prophet's message is never "worship me" but "worship God who sent me."

They worship God, whose name is rendered in Arabic as Allah.

allah is not God. Here's a hint:

Real Prophets climb mountains to be closer to God.
They don't crawl into caves to listen to the hissings of The Serpent.

"In the interest of fairness and truth, Muslim don't worship Mohammed."

In actual practice, they do. It didn't use to be called "Mohammadism" for no reason.

"They worship God, whose name is rendered in Arabic as Allah."

They worship a god called "Allah", but they don't worship God.
