Mo (pbuh) simply found a way to appeal to the bloodlust of certain people around him, (like hitler and lenin etc.) .

According to the Arab History, Muhammad was sexually very powerful man, Muslims Scholars never agrees numbers of wives, few claims that he had 13 wives, some says that there are 9 wives. History also shows that Muhammad had sexual relations with the maidservant and slaves. Muslims scholars' report that Muhammad used to sleep with his all the wives in one hour, no matter it was day or night. Qatada b. Da'ama asked Anas b. Malik "Was he really able to sleep with all of them? Anas said, " We used to say that he was given the Strength of thirty men". In another Story, it is related that Muhammad had the strength of forty of the men of Paradise. Tradition records that Muhammad said "I was given the strength of forty men when assaulting or having intercourse and desire. Ibn Arabi Mention, "Muhammad possessed more unusual strength in intercourse than the rest of the people." On the authority of Anas, Ibn Saad narrated that Muhammad slept with nine of his wives in one night. Muhammad said, "Gabriel brought me food in earthen pot, so I ate form it. Thus I was given the strength of forty of the men in Paradise." Muhammad complained to Gabriel that he had insufficient strength for intercourse. Gabriel smiled until Muhammad 's own teeth shone form the reflection of Gabriel 's glittering set. Gabriel asked him, "what is your view regarding eating from Harisa? What especially reveals Muhammad's Caprice and inability to restrain himself ' his greatest error ' was when he married his adopted son's wife. Though his people reproached him, he paid no heed when lustful desire dominates the soul, it makes a person irrational. Muhammad, however, claimed that God had commanded him to act as he did; thus he established his sin as a custom and law for every man. Far is it forming God Most Holy and pure to sanction such lustful enormities! In Sura The Confederation 33:37, 38, the following is recorded: "When thou saidst to him whom God had blessed and thou hadst favored, " keep thy wife to thy self, and fear God, and thou wast concealing within thyself what God should reveal fearing other men; and God has better right for thee to fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished what he would of her, then we gave her in marriage to thee, so that there should not be any fault in the believers, touching the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished what they would of them. Even if there were nothing else in the Quran, this verse would suffice. The expositors have said that Muhammad recited this verse regarding Zainab. It happened that after Muhammad had married her to Zaid, with whom she remained for while, he went one day to visit him on an errand. He saw Zainab in her Chemise and veil. She had fair skin And beautiful and well-mannered, one of the most perfect women of Koraish. She made an impression on him and he admired her beauty. He said, " May God who changes hearts be praised," and departed. When Zaid came back, Zainab told him what Muhammad has said. Zaid understood the implication and he felt the displeasure of her companionship. So he came to Muhammad and said " I want to divorce my wife. " Muhammad said what is wrong? Why you are divorcing her is that any thing aroused your suspicion against her? He answered, no by God I had seen any thing form her but good, yet she is presumptuous because of her noble origin, and she hurts me with her repulsive tongue. Muhammad told him keep your wife and fear of God. But Zaid Divorce her. Muhammad fell in love with her and lusted after her. Needless to say, there was great embarrassment in the matter, for it did not befit his position to desire something that was prohibited (Ibn Saad's Al- tabaqat al- Kubra or Book of Women Chapter of Muhammad's Wives. Story of Zainab) It was reported, on the authority of Sufyan B. Uyayan, based on the authority of Al B. Zaid B. Jad'an that he said: Zayn Al-Abidin Ali B. Al-Husan asked me " How does al- Hasan interpret the verse of God. Thou didn't hide in thy heart that which God was about manifest: thou didn't fear the people, but it is fitting that thou shouldn't fear God? I answered he says when Zaid came to Muhammad he said O messenger of God I want to Divorce Zainab. Muhammad likes that but he told him Keep your wife and be afraid of God. So God reproved Muhammad and said, "why did you tell him to keep your wife, when I informed you that she will be your wife. If you wonder what use Muhammad's order to Zaid was as regards keeping his own wife for himself will say that although God had already informed Muhammad that Zainab was to be his wife, Muhammad ostensibly deterred Zaid from divorcing her and concealed in his heart what God had revealed to him. When Zaid divorced her Muhammad feared the criticism of the people regarding his marry to the wife of his son. Thus God commanded Muhammad to marry her so that people would be permitted to do so .It was also said that his order to Zaid keep Zainab as his wife involved suppression of desire and restraint of soul against it whims. Tell me is there any God who can give permission to father to marry the wife of Son? Or is there any son who will allow is father to marry his own wife? This action of Muhammad shows that how sexually corrupted he was! A man how like to marry with his daughter in law cannot be a good character for the Society and nation. And also he cannot be the messenger of almighty God. God never likes sin, He hate it God never promote sin but , this action of Muhammad also describe that the God of Muhammad was not the God almighty , his God is the God of Sin, and it is only Satan . Before we know more about this story, I would like that first we know who was Zaid. Zaid Ibn Muhammad : Zaid Ibn Muhammad, whose background was very different to that of Zainab bint Jahsh. Zaid had been taken prisoner while he was still a child during one of the inter-tribal wars that had been common before the coming of Islam. He had been sold as a slave to a nephew of Khadija, who had given Zaid to her as a gift. In turn, Khadija had given him to the Muhammad in the days before the revelation of the Qur'an had begun, and the Prophet had given him his freedom and adopted him as his own son, at the age of eight. When Haritha the father of Zaid heard that Muhammad possessed Zaid, he came to Mecca and offered a large sum for his ransom. Whereupon Muhammad said: "Let Zaid come here, and if he chooses to go with you, take him without ransom; but if it be his choice to stay with me, why should I not keep him?' Zaid, being brought into Muhammad's presence, declared that he would stay with his master, who treated him, as if he was his only son. Muhammad no sooner heard this than he took Zaid by the hand and led him to the black stone of Ka'ba, where he publicly adopted him as his son, to which the father acquiesced and returned home well satisfied. Henceforward Zaid was called the son of Muhammad. Muhammad had watched both Zaid and Zainab grow up, and thought they would make a good couple, and that their marriage would demonstrate that it was not who their ancestors were. When he asked for her hand on behalf of Zaid, Zainab had her family were shocked at the idea of her marrying a man who in their eyes was only a freed slave. Muhammad who had a good relationship with the family of Zainab, that s why he motivates the whole family including Zainab, and than Zaid marries to Zainab, and Muhammad provides a handsome dowry for Zainab on Zaid's behalf. When Zaid come to Muhammad he told him that she use to disrespect me, and for tat I wanted to divorced her. According to some of the earlier writers that Zainab wanted to marry Muhammad before she marries to Zaid. I think that they both have affair before of Zainab marriage. See when Muhammad visits Zaid and found him not there HE SAID MAY GOD CHANGES HEARTS BE PRAISED. This is the Comment of the expositors .On the authority of Anas, we read: When the legal waiting period of Zaid was over, Muhammad told him,"A part form you, I don't find anyone whom I can trust more than myself. Go and ask Zainab to marry me" He went to Zainab and asked her O Zainab Rejoice the messenger of God is asking you to marry him. She was overjoyed and Muhammad married her and slept with her .He prepared a feast for her as he had never done for any of his wives. He slew a ewe and fed the people bread and meat until the end of the day. (Al- Zamakhshari?s commentary on Sura The Confederates 33:37) Is there is any father like Muhammad who ask his son to ask your wife to marry me? I don't think so a good father says such words to his son. And when Zaid said her what Muhammad she was overjoyed, it means that both were willing to marry with each other and they just used Zaid for some time. We can say that Muhammad and Zainab plays with the feelings of Zaid. It is recorded in sura The Confederates 33; 49 "And any women believers, if she give herself to the prophet and if the prophet desire to take her in marriage, for thee exclusively apart form the believers." Ibn Saad extracted the tradition, on the authority of Munir b. Abd al- Lah al- Du'ali that Um Sharik al- Dusiyya offered herself to Muhamma . She was beautiful, and he accepted her. Aisha said "there is no good in a woman who gives herself freely to a man. Um Sharik answered I am that woman "Muhammad then called her a believing woman. When he had said, so Aisha reported, God is quick to fulfill your desire. (Suyuti's Asbab al- Nuzul on this verse) Aisha was right in her statement that there is no good in a woman who gives herself freely to a man; such a one is depraved. Anyone who approves of her behavior will be like her. The god of Muhammad was quick to approve all that his sinful heart desired. In sura The Confederates 33:51, it is recorded " Thou mayest put off whom thou wilt of them, and whom wilt thou mayest take to thee. So it is likelier they will be comforted, and not sorrow and every one of them will be well ? pleased with what thou gives her." Al- Hasan writes the meaning of this phrase is that he Lord ? may He be praised and exalted 'allowed Muhammad to abandon or to sleep with any of his women, according to his wish. Muhammad bestowed his love on Aisha, Hafsa, Um salama and Zainab constantly and equally and deferred the turn of five of his women: Ummu Habiba Maymuna, Sawda, Juwayrid and safiyya .he would visit them according to whim (Al- Zamakhshari's Commentary on this verse.) These words are among the indications that the Quran is void of divine inspiration. Far is it form God to permit a prophet, the recipient of revelations, to indulge in lust and revel with women at his pleasure. Muhammad embraced those who captivated his mind and heart with their beauty, Such as Aisha and Zainab and treated the rest poorly The Lord God is neither corrupt nor oppressive (Ibn kathir's al- Sira Chapter on Muhammad's wives and Children). When holding a feast on the occasion of his wedding to Zainab Muhammad invited the people and provided them with food. But he desired them to leave because his mind was occupied with his bride. He prepared himself to depart, and some of the guests departed. Then he made himself ready to leave the second time, but some remained sitting. When he stood up to leave for the third time, all the people departed and Muhammad entered his home. Anas followed him but Muhammad prevented him by lowering the curtain between them. Thus, we read the following verse in Sura the Confederates 33:53 "O Believers, enter not the houses of the Prophet, except leave is given you? Is it reasonable that divine revelation should occupy it self with such personal matters as the marriages and wedding ceremonies of Muhammad? Are these personal matters recorded in the "preserved Tablet" of God in heaven? In this same verse in Quran we find reference to what Talha, the Cousin of Aisha had done Muhammad saw him talking with Aisha, so he said to him " Do not claim this status form now on " Talha answered she is My cousin and by God neither she nor I has said anything shameful. Muhammad said there is nobody who is more jealous than God and there is nobody who is more jealous than i. Talha left saying when Muhammad dies I will surely marry Aisha. (Suyuti's Asbab Al- Nuzul of this verse) In sura The Forbidding 66:1 it is recorded " O Prophet why forbiddest thou what God has made lawful to thee, seeking the good pleasure of thy wives? And God is all forgiving, all compassionate. The Commentators write: Muhammad used to divide his equally among his women. When it was Hafsa's turn, she asked his permission to visit her father .he granted her request .As soon as she left, he sent of his maidservant, Mary the Copt, and took her to Hafsa's bedroom and slept with her. When Hafsa returned, she found the door closed, so she sat there .As Hafsa was weeping, Muhammad came out with a sweaty face and asked her why she was weeping .She answered you allowed me to visit my father. For this, you brought your maidservant to my bedroom and slept with her on my bed on the designated to me. DO you not have any respect for me rights? You would not have done that to any of the other woman. Muhammad said is she not my maidservant, and has not God made her lawful to me? Be quiet, she is reserved for me .I do that to please you, so do not tell this any of the other woman In another version, Muhammad said would you accept that I never come near her again. Hafsa answered yes Muhammad then swore on this. In another version Muhammad said I would never come near her again .You father will be the next Caliph after Abu Bakr. Keep this a secret. But Hafsa told Aisha, God gave us rest of Mary (AL-Sira al- Haabiyya; vol-2 on Muhammad Wives) (See Zamakhshari's comment on Sura The forbidding 66:1) When Muhammad left Hafsa knocked on the wall separating her from Aisha and said her this good news. Muhammad restrained himself from sleeping with his maidservant, Mary. God has relieved us of her. Then she told Aisha what she saw for they were intimate friends, and they joined forces together against the rest of Mohammed's wives. Aisha was very angry and she pestered Muhammad until he swore to God that he would not sleep with Mary again. But he broke his pledge by saying that God told him , Why forbiddest thou what God has made lawful to thee? This incident is mentioned in al-Sira al-Halabiyya and other sources. Based on this, it seems that God justifies unfaithfulness and deceit .But God forbid that this should be so. Muhammad allowed Hafsa to go the house of her father, so that he could sleep with his maidservant. He did that to satisfy his own desire. Secondly he broke his marriage pledge to Hafsa .As a result she was hurt and wept because of his unfaithfulness. Muhammad did not feel ashamed to bring his maidservant to Hafsa bed on her designated day. Thirdly, Aisha forced Muhammad to swear that he would never again sleep with his maidservant . He did swear but then broke his pledge, violated his covenant and claimed that God had made this lawful for him .Ibn Abbas said This verse was revealed concerning the woman who gave herself freely to Muhammad . At any rate, it shows clearly that there was no Principal that bound Muhammad in this matter. The following is related by two sheikhs that Muhammad was very fond of Aisha. When he first married her he summoned the daughters of the confederates to play with her, because she was still very young. Whenever she drank from pot he would take it and put his mouth on the same place her mouth had touched and drinks as a gesture of his abundant love. When ever she stripped bone of its meat he would take the bone and put his mouth on the same place from which she had taken a bite. He also used to lean on her lap while he was fasting. The six authors of the traditions relate that Muhammad used to kiss his wives while he was fasting. And that he stood in front of Aisha to cover her while she leaning on his shoulder as they watched the Ethiopians playing with spears .She said He asked me is it not enough is it not enough but I continued to say No! No this incident is related by Trimidhi. Al-Imam Ahmad transmits the following story to us on the authority of Aisha who said: I went with Muhammad on one of his trip while I was still young and slim. Muhammad told the people Proceed proceed then he said come let us race .I won the race .He abstained form racing for while until I gained some weight and become fat. Then I went with him again on one of his trips. He told the people to proceed then he said come let us race .This time he won the race and started to laugh ,saying this against that and so forth which showed his fondness for me (Nisai's Ishrat al-Nissa Chapter man's racing with his wife). Muslims scholars reports that Muhammad used to sleep with his all wives in one hour no matter if it was day or night. Qatada B. Da'ama asked Anas b. Malik was he really able to sleep with all of them? Anas answered we use to says that he was given the power of thirty men. In another story it is related that Muhammad had the strength of forty men of paradise. Tradition records that Muhammad said I was given the strength of forty men. (Ghazali al-ihya or Book of Intercourse) Muhammad said that God permitted him to marry those for whom he paid a dowry those whom his right hand captured as prisoners of war, such as SAFIYYA and JUWAYRIYYA the daughters of his paternal uncles and aunts, the women of banu Zuhra and every believing woman who dedicates herself for Muhammad without a dowry . In this case his marriage to any of these believing women is regarded as a gift and so there is no need for a guardian, witnesses believers at large. This then is wide open door for ways to marry Arab Muslims women. History cannot be changed. One of the Muslim scholar and statesman Ali Dashti gives the following list of the women in Muhammad's life: He claims that in Muhammad life he was sexually involved with 22 women. I must

Here are a few examples of how Muhammad had violated the most sacred book of Allah, the Qur'an. Muhammad broke the rule on sex and foreplay during fasting What the Holy Qur'an says about sex during fasting time: During fasting, sexual activity is for the night only... 2:187 002.187 YUSUFALI: Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you, and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast Till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) Allah: Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah make clear His Signs to men: that they may learn self-restraint. Here is what Muhammad did while observing fast: Muhammad slept with Umm Salama during her period, kissed her while fasting and used to take bath from the same pot after having sex… (Sahih Bukhari 1.6.319) Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 6, Number 319 Narrated Zainab bint Abi Salama: Um-Salama said, "I got my menses while I was lying with the Prophet under a woollen sheet. So I slipped away, took the clothes for menses and put them on. Allah's Apostle said, 'Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he called me and took me with him under the woollen sheet." Um Salama further said, "The Prophet used to kiss me while he was fasting. The Prophet and I used to take the bath of Janaba from a single pot." While fasting, Muhammad kissed and embraced his wives...(Sahih Bukhari 3.31.149) Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 31, Number 149 Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet used to kiss and embrace (his wives) while he was fasting, and he had more power to control his desires than any of you. Said Jabir, "The person who gets discharge after casting a look (on his wife) should complete his fast." Muhammad used to kiss and suck Aisha's tongue while they were fasting... (Sunaan Abu Dawud 13.2380) Sunaan Abu Dawud, Book 13, Number 2380: Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) used to kiss her and suck her tongue when he was fasting. Muhammad violated the Qur’anic rules on dower (mehr) and the time of waiting (idda)) in marrying a divorced/widowed woman When Muhammad captured Khaybar, he took as a captive, Safiyyah bt Huyayy, a very pretty teenage girl and purportedly married her without paying her any dowry (mahr). The payment of mahr is compulsory in every Islamic marriage. First, we shall examine how Muhammad violated the rule of dower. This rule is stipulated in the Qur’an thus: To marry a woman, pay her dowry as a free-gift... 4:4 004.004 YUSUFALI: And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer. To hide his deception, Muhammad claimed that marrying Safiyyah was in itself a good honour for her, her dowry was her manumission from being a sex-slave to Muhammad. Let us read the following hadis. Muhammad consummated his marriage with Saffiyah by staying with her for three days on way from Khaybar; he ordered her to wear a veil... (Sahih Bukhari, 5.59.523, 524) Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 523 Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet stayed with Safiya bint Huyai for three days on the way of Khaibar where he consummated his marriage with her. Safiya was amongst those who were ordered to use a veil. Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 524 Narrated Anas: The Prophet stayed for three nights between Khaibar and Medina and was married to Safiya. I invited the Muslim to his marriage banquet and there was neither meat nor bread in that banquet but the Prophet ordered Bilal to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yogurt and butter were put. The Muslims said amongst themselves, "Will she (i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e. one of the wives of the Prophet) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand possesses" Some of them said, "If the Prophet makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the believers (i.e. one of the Prophet's wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will be his lady slave." So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him (on his and made her observe the veil. Muhammad stayed with Safiyyah for three nights consummating his marriage… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.11.2118) Sunaan Dawud:Volumel. ii, Book 11, number 2118 Anas b Malik said: When the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) married Safiyyah, he stayed with her three nights. The narrator ‘Uthman added: She was non-virgin (previously married). He said: This tradition has been narrated to me by Hushaim, reported by Humaid, and transmitted by Anas. Saffiya’s dower for marriage was her manumission… (Sahih Muslim, 8.3326) Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3326 This hadith has been narrated through another chain of transmitters on the authority of Anas that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) emancipated Safiyya, and her emancipation was treated as her wedding gift, and in the hadith transmitted by Mu'adh on the authority of his father (the words are):" He (the Holy Prophet) married Safiyya and bestowed her emancipation as her wedding gift." Please note that nowhere in the Qur'an we find that Allah has made it legal to use manumission of a slave-woman to be used as her dowry (mahr). Muhammad simply invented this rule according to his convenience. Ibn Sa’d provides further information on this lustful marriage with a 19-year-old Jewish beauty with 60-year-old Muhammad. Please note that before falling into the hands of Muhammad, a Jewish man had married this pretty girl. Muhammad had already beheaded Safiyaah’s husband and her father after subjecting them to brutal torture. Having satiated his lust for blood, on the same night he killed her closest relatives, Muhammad took Saffiyah into his tent to have sex with her. We learn from Ibn Sa’d that Muhammad purchased Safiyyah from Dhiyah for seven camels (around US$ 2,100). On the same night that Muhammad took possession of Safiyyah, he hastened to his tent to sleep with her. Here is what Ibn Sa’d writes: “….when it was night, he entered a tent and she entered with him. Abu Ayyub came there and passed the night by the tent with a sword keeping his head at the tent. When it was morning and the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, perceived (somebody) moving, he asked: Who is there? He replied: I am Abu Ayub. He asked: Why are you here? He replied: O Apostle of Allah! There is a young lass newly wedded (to you) with whose late husband you have done what you have done. I was not sure of safety, so I wanted to be close to you. Thereupon the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, said twice: O Abu Ayyub! May Allah show you mercy.” (ibn Sa’d vol.ii, p.145) To hide the lascivious character of Muhammad, Muslim biographers often mention that he married Safiyyah before he slept with her. But they forget to state that Muhammad did not follow the rule of waiting period (three monthly periods) to sleep with Safiyyah. We shall now see how Muhammad had violated the rule of idda (waiting period) in marrying a woman. These rules are stipulated in the Qur’an thus: Before marrying another man, divorced women must wait three monthly periods... 2:228 002.228 YUSUFALI: Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise Widows wait four months and ten days for re-marriage...2:234 002.234 YUSUFALI: If any of you die and leave widows behind, they shall wait concerning themselves four months and ten days: When they have fulfilled their term, there is no blame on you if they dispose of themselves in a just and reasonable manner. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do. Clearly, when Muhammad wanted to sleep or to have sex with Safiyyah, she was a widow, as Muhammad had already killed her husband. Therefore, as per the Qur’an, Muhammad had to wait at least four months and ten days before he could even touch her. But Muhammad did not at all observe this rule; instead, he took Safiyyah, straight from the battlefield to his bed in the war camp. Having spent the night with her, Muhammad took her to another, safer location, stayed there for three days and consummated his marriage with Safiyyah. Let us read a hadis on this: Muhammad selected Safiyyah because of her beauty, made her his wife and gave a banquet at the wedding; then he had sex with Saffiyah at Sa`d-AsSahba… (Sahih Bukhari 4.52.143) Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 143 Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said to Abu Talha, "Choose one of your boy servants to serve me in my expedition to Khaibar." So, Abu Talha took me letting me ride behind him while I was a boy nearing the age of puberty. I used to serve Allah's Apostle when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men." Then we reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Allah's Apostle selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad-AsSahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was served on a small leather sheet. Then Allah's Apostle told me to call those who were around me. So, that was the marriage banquet of Allah's Apostle and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I saw Allah's Apostle folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to make a wide space for Safiya (to sit on behind him) He sat beside his camel letting his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the camel. Then, we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain) and said, "This is a mountain which loves us and is loved by us." Then he looked at Medina and said, "O Allah! I make the area between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd and Sa (i.e. measures)."

Yes, I doubt any claim to prophecy whatsoever. It is defined as divinely inspired revelation. Even so, I'll answer about Mohammad. I'm expected to believe that an omnipotent, omniscient Deity chose to reveal His last, final, and CRUCIAL revelation to an illiterate nomad in the middle of the Arabian desert in only a single language (the only one believers claim you can "properly" understand it in) for the entire world and wait for it to filter around? That this deity picked a man who would marry a 7 year old girl, and sanctioned this marriage, when that Deity would have HAD to have known Mohammad would be discredited as a pedophile in the future? That's not to mention that all the prophecies have either failed, or were so vague and self-evident that anyone could have made them.
-
Yes. And even if I didn't, I'd rather rot in Hell then follow some pedophile, thanks.
