    ''Nope no cherry picking at all.''


    You say that even while ignoring Mohammad's treatment of prisoners, slaughter, slave ownership, pedophilia, robbery, banditry, waging war, cruelty, etc, etc.

    As noted by Whereu....you are being less than honest. Less than honest with yourself, first and foremost. And less than honest when dealing with your opponents on this forum.

    You began politely. One of the most polite polite posters, but I wondered whether this was a veneer, acting the way you imagine a spiritual person should act....and that's what has proven to the case. That under pressure and feeling frustrated your veneer of civil discourse gradually fell away, revealing a glimpse of the true self lying beneath.

    As for the criticisms of Mohammad, they began even during his first attempts at establishing his position as a Prophet of God (the irony of that!!!!)

    Here is more material for you to disregard while trying to maintain an untenable faith in an imaginary history;


    Criticism of Muhammad has existed since the 7th century, when Muhammad was decried by his non-Muslim Arab contemporaries for preaching monotheism, and by the Jewish tribes of Arabia for his unwarranted appropriation of Biblical narratives and figures,[6] vituperation of the Jewish faith,[6] and proclaiming himself as "the last prophet" without performing any miracle nor showing any personal requirement demanded in the Hebrew Bible to distinguish a true prophet chosen by the God of Israel from a false claimant; for these reasons, they gave him the derogatory nickname ha-Meshuggah (Hebrew: מְשֻׁגָּע‬‎, "the Madman" or "the Possessed").[7][8][9] During the Middle Ages various[3][4][5][10] Western and Byzantine Christian thinkers considered Muhammad to be a perverted,[3][5] deplorable man,[3][5] a false prophet,[3][4][5] and even the Antichrist,[3][4] as he was frequently seen in Christendom as a heretic[2][3][4][5] or possessed by the demons.[2][5] Some of them, like Thomas Aquinas, criticized Muhammad's promises of carnal pleasure in the afterlife.[5]
    Modern religious[11][12] and secular[13][14][15][16] criticism of Islam[11][12][13][14][15][16] has concerned Muhammad's sincerity in claiming to be a prophet, his morality, his ownership of slaves,[17][18] his treatment of enemies, his marriages,[19] his treatment of doctrinal matters, and his psychological condition. Muhammad has been accused of sadism and mercilessness— including the invasion of the Banu Qurayza tribe in Medina[20][21][22][23][24][25]—sexual relationships with slaves,[19] and his marriage to Aisha[19] when she was six years old,[19] which according to most estimates was consummated when she was nine.[26] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Muhammad


    A man of God? History says otherwise.
