I also pose this question to non-believers (who seem to be the main ones on this board). What do you think of Mohammad and the kind of person he was?

He probably never existed or if he did, he never claimed to be a prophet. So, it’s possible he was very successful warlord and may have been considered a beloved wiseman as he got older by his tribes. As for his marriage to a nine year old, that was their primitive custom, and probably a tribal politics thing. Likewise, that could a myth. Keep in mind Abraham married his half-sister, Sarah.
This is my honest opinion.
And before you misinterpret and call me the most evil person in the universe, I 100% do not support Islam.

This is my honest opinion. And before you misinterpret and call me the most evil person in the universe, I 100% do not support Islam. Exactly my thoughts too. I have seen countless people, both Christian & atheist alike, that taunt Muslims over his marriage to a little girl. Although I am not Muslim & have absolutely no intention of converting to Islam (I actually prefer Judaism over Islam), I have always viewed his marriage to Aisha in the terms of his time & culture. Not our own time & culture. |

Men were healthier in those days. |

True, but, he probably still had far more wives & concubines than the actual amount permitted. |

Mohammad was a cool guy. Baseball fan. I've been over to his house for dinner. We double dated.

Your assumption is if Mohammad is a real man and he lived to be 62 in 632AD, he would be far healthier than other 62 year old modern men who spend billions each year on viagra. |

I thought you understood. I don't assume that Mohammad was a real man. |
