You should really do your research before you say anything. It's funny how all these non-muslims bash islam but they don't know anything about it. Go read the Quran or learn from someone who is actually busy with religion and prayers instead of the media that bashes islam. -Mohammed (pbuh) was born in a very powerful tribe. So he was already born with power, did he use it like others No. -Growing up he was a very honest guy and he was named Al-ameen (the Trustworthy). He had everyones respect way before he even started spreading the religion.

-Education. Excuse me? He was WELL EDUCATED. -Everyone knew of his honesty and good characteristics and that's how Khadizah( a very wealthy widow, businesswoman)came to know him. She wanted to marry him. After marrying her he obviously became richer. Except all the muslims who read the Quran know he spent all his life in poverty. In short Mohammed ( pbuh) a well educated guy who was born in a very powerful family, who left everything in order to spread the words of Allah. -------So please don't just bash Islam before you actually learn it's values from a real muslim--------
