Not to even mention, of course, that The Prophet was a pervert.

RE: prophet = pervert

You mean for having a six year old girl as his 'wife'? Or was he a practictioner of the Pashtun path to carnal pleasure? Is that documented anywhere? Personally, whatever his kink, I think he was the first "cultist". Took Jewish and Christian concept of monotheism and sold it the same way that cultist con men do these days.

"Not to even mention, of course, that The Prophet was a pervert."

He DID have his "problems", didn't he? :D:

Historians say that Mohammad suffered from "hysteria, hallucinations, and ecstasies". "The faithful" aren't put off by such knowledge about Islam's founder, so why would they think that being a pervert would disqualify anyone from founding a legitimate religion?

Here is Mohammad's ~lucid~ teaching about how Allah created man [excerpted from: The Chapter of Congealed Blood in the Koran]:

"1 READ, in the name of thy Lord! 2 Who created man from congealed blood!"

Here is a little bottom-line background about Mohammad, the founder of Islam:

"THE ANCIENT religion of the Arabs was the worship of the stars, but long before the birth of Mohammed, it had become greatly corrupted .... The chief seat of this degraded worship was the city of Mecca...".

1 Mohammed was born in 571 A. D. His father died before he was born, and his mother when he was only six. In his youth he tended sheep and goats, and at twenty-four he was employed to drive caravans of camels by a rich widow, ‘Hadïgah, whom he married.

2 When he was forty, while wandering alone on a desolate mountain near Mecca, he had a vision. An angel appeared to him and told him to read, and recited certain verses.

From youth he had suffered from a kind of hysteria, and this vision seems to have increased his tendency to hallucinations and ecstasy. There was an intermission of two or three years before the vision reappeared, after which revelations came rapidly.

He became convinced of his prophetic mission, and began to make converts, ~the first being the women~ of his own family.

3 For years, however, the new religion made little progress, and the prophet underwent great hardships, finally having to flee from Mecca to Medinah. From this “Flight,” which took place in 622 A. D., the Mohammedan era dates.

Two years later began the Holy War, and from this time on Mohammedanism was extended largely by the sword. When its founder died in 632, it was firmly established as a great _political power_ as well as a religion; and it is now said to be the belief of about a hundred and seventy millions of people.

4 From the Qur’ân or Koran, ... collected Mohammed’s revelations ...~ snip ~
