To non-Muslims, Muhammad founded Islam. To Muslims, he did not found anything, because
the religion, called Islam, was already there, and had to be restored to its proper
maintenance. Muslims Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh

c. A.D. 570–632 that Muhammad restored the religion and unified it under the philosophies
God imparted to him in revelations he wrote down. These became the Q’uran. Islam is the
Arabic noun for “a surrendering,” or “a yielding,” in this case to the will of Allah.
Muhammad was born about A.D. 570 in Makkah (Mecca), Saudi Arabia. He had 13 wives,
which is acceptable and encouraged in Muslim cultures.

Muhammad’s status as second most famous person in history is especially remarkable given
that it is illegal according to Islamic law to depict Muhammad in any way (which is why
you don’t see him in the above picture). That law dictates that Muhammad is the last prophet
to have been sent by God to teach mankind the ways of peace and righteousness, and that he
is too holy to be viewed by our sinful eyes. For this reason, very few films have been made
about him. The most notable was The Message (1977), the premiere of which incited
suicide bombings throughout the Middle East and protests around the world, until
everyone realized that Muhammad is not actually depicted; rather, the camera’s point of
view represents him: the film is seen through his eyes.

If you’d like to know, there is nothing in the Q’uran that states, “To kill Americans, both
civil and military, is the duty of every Muslim who is able.” That nonsense was concocted
by various Middle Eastern leaders over the years, mostly in the last half of the 20th Century
and beyond. These leaders know full well that knowledge is power and have done their level
best to hoard literacy education from the public. The literacy rate in Yemen is currently
about 70%, which is terrible compared to “more civilized” countries like the USA,
England, Germany, and Japan. And because the Middle Eastern Muslim public largely
cannot read the Q’uran, the governments disseminate anti-American, anti-Western
lies to indoctrinate them into hatred.

Muhammad died on 8 June A.D. 632 in Medina, Saudi Arabia, having united the whole of
the Middle East under a single God, whose name is Allah. There are many spellings of
Muhammad, including Mohammed, Moammar, Mehmet, Mahomet, and others.
Because of him, Muhammad is the most common given name in the world, with
about 200 million carriers. “Muhammad” means “praised.”

If you anticipated Muhammad, you probably anticipated the next entry.
