    Mohamed got kicked out of his home town (Mecca) so he became a warlord (or he was always a warlord,) and invaded them after saving up by raiding their trade caravans.

    It’s straight up a misrepresentation to say Mohamed was a peaceful person, even if some in the faith have grown to abhor violence.

    Jesus was a dime-dozen twobit jewish mystic that probably had more in common with today’s faiths healing Christian scam artists than not. (Remember, the disciples weren’t exactly poor. They weren’t all rich; but they weren’t dirt broke either.)
