@lonest! when comparing just compare the teachings not what you watch on TV. Just read what you wrote minus media & your hate mentality! As like @muriel just said, your know about prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is street knowledge.

Mohammed himself (PBUH) is a street preacher.

Charlatan.

Which Muhammad, which Jesus, Buddha, do I know? Alas, all I know are of the Street.

And am not surprised that many have called them charlatans.

And some fellas even after watching Kanyari still line up surely why can't this prophet knock the door @KNH ???

@muriel, when you claim to know whom you are talking about, then you should argue based on his principles.
But you have the right to hold opinions as long you express them intelligently.
My opinion is, you don't know whom you are talking about.

Oh! Alright.

You mean to say he was not mistreated in the streets of Mecca that he fled to Medina?

There is a hadithi that following his mistreatments in the streets, he took shelter under a tree in Taif and complained to Allah "O Allah, I complain to you for my inability. I pray to you to lead these people to the right path."

Hence not only was he a street preacher, but a nag as well.

You see that mistreatment you are talking about? Let me show a confirmation by your Christian Scholar!

We can see that earlier on when Muhammad (pbuh) was 12 years old the Christian Monk Georges Bahirah confirmed that Muhammad was indeed a prophet and he would be sent with a MESSAGE. That MESSAGE was the QURAAN which was now being revealed at the age of 40. Bahirah had predicted the REVELATION 28 years before it happened.

And now Waraqah is predicting that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) will be expelled from his home place Makkah. This is called the HIJRAH (taking refuge away from your hometown) which took place 13 years after Waraqah's meeting with the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). How did these two Christian Scholars accurately prophecy events that were to take place in the Prophet Muhammad's life?

@Muriel, I am not trying to make you think differently, mine is to just show you that mocking is not something new. People of the past mocked prophets of God just like the way you are doing now. Thanks to the government of that day who managed to spread propaganda about those preaching God's word.

Let me show you examples:
Noah was mocked for building the ark in middle of desert!

Abraham was mocked and exiled for refusing to worship idols!

Moses was mocked and exiled by Pharaoh for refusing to recognize him as "god"!

Jonah was mocked:
"And Jonah indeed, ...ran away that he might not be ridiculed.." by Saint John Chrysostom, Homily

Joel was mocked:
"Give not up Thine heritage to the mockery of heathens over them" Joel 2:17

John the Baptist was mocked by Many people, calling him a nut case, a religious fanatic!

Jesus was mocked:
"...But I (Jesus), knowing that I am both to be crucified and mocked" by Saint John Chrysostom, Homily

Jesus was mocked:
"And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" Matthew 27:29

More mocking:
"Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine" Acts 2:13

Drawing up a special-one-sided list of some previously mocked individuals then implying that so and so - because he is currently being mocked - consequently also belongs to that list is street logic. Bush logic, even.

Perhaps you can add yourself to that list too?

Thomas Paine too was mocked. So was Lenin and Caesar. So were Margaret, Kate and Leah the Fox Sisters.

Who has not been mocked? Add them all to the list. Crown the list with Mohammed. A list which proves nothing.

Mockery is not the test by which we know anyone's standing.

Yes, stick to the Qur'an, you might fare better.

Humour me. When Islam was spreading in the initial centuries, some environmentist muslim told his fighters to hurt not the trees or cattle (I forget the exact words) and to kill only what was to be eaten.

Do you remember?
