There’s a book called “The 23 Years” written by Persian who was imprisoned by both the last Shah & the current radical regime. He divides Mohammed’s mission roughly into halves. The first 11 years his message and rhetoric was sort of an Arab Judaism or Gnostic Christian. After he gets a “state” & an “army” the remaining 12 years (or so!)he’s just another bloodthirsty Dark Age warband leader who ends up being phenomenally successful. Learns the wrong lessons from the success.

Interesting book, the author hoped to inspire Muslims to concentrate on the first 11 years.

Muslims can't do that without becoming heretics.

Allah gets HIS message to His Messenger Muhammad,via an angel, and when Muhammad went to Medina, he had only converted about 150 people in the previous 13 years in Mecca.
Allah has Muhammad get the sword out in Medina to get more converts and that supercedes whatever he was doing in Mecca. - Tom
