Muhammedism

While Muhammed is credited with the founding of I'slam as a religion, he was also a political and military leader. His political philosophy, while incorporated into his religion, can stand alone. First principle of Muhammedism; any opposition is an enemy, and must be treated as an enemy. If they do not surrender and accept permanent diminished status, then kill them. Second principle, any resistance to authority is an affront punishable by death . Third principle, all human relationships are subject to the political authority. Women are in a permanent second class status, women are subject to complete control of authority, and all authority is in the hands of men. Fourth principle, political expansion is ultimately achieved by violence and conquest. The more violent the attack, more effective. Sustained political consolidation, post attack, has no time limit.
