That's utterly absurd. Where do you get these claims from? Mohammad defeated the Meccan army by military means.....and even if he didn't actually kill anyone inside the gates of Mecca, is it OK that he killed people outside? Is it OK that he robbed and killed Merchants defending themselves? Is it OK that he kept slaves, etc, etc?
of slavery is that Muhammad bought, sold, captured, and owned slaves." Altogether, Muhammad owned approximately 50 slaves (16 were female, 34 were male), his adopted son Zayd was among their number. The girls/women were concubines or wet nurses.
