I am not a Muslim, so you may wish to take this with a grain of salt.

Five things that make it difficult for me to love Prophet Muhammad:

1) He performed massacres of innocents. For example, if we look at the attack on Khaybar where almost the entire population of the oasis was killed, including young children, the exception being the women. Muhammad not only supported this, he ordered it. He even married a woman after killing her father, brother, and former husband. You can imagine how pleased she was.

2) He performed and suborned rape. The Qur'an holds that you can have sex with "those your right hand possesses", which is code for "slaves". So, when Muhammad would attack neighboring villages, he would take women as slaves so he could have sex with them. This is rape. Not to mention that if Sahih al-Bukhari was correct, Aïsha was 9 when Muhammad bedded her. As a 9-year-old cannot properly consent to sex, this would also be rape.

3) He ordered acts of theft. When the Muslims settled in Medina, they lacked provisions and supplies. As a result, Muhammad ordered his ablest fighters to find merchants leaving Mecca, steal their goods and kill them. This resulted in gaining the necessary goods, but provoked a war with Mecca which rose to the defence of those merchants.

4) He openly destroyed symbols that were holy to other peoples and nations. When he retook the Ka'aba, he destroyed the various idols that were there and represented dozens of religions. This immensely hurt and angered the various other religions of Mecca.

5) He subborned murder and violated freedom of speech. There were several poets, especially Asma bint Marwan, who mocked Muhammad and the Qur'an. Their poetry was in the ballpark quality of the Qur'an. As a result, Muhammad made it known that these poets greatly displeased and when 'Omar killed Asma in Muhammad's name, Muhammad declared how proud he was that this "enemy of Islam" was killed.

What was one of the first acts that Muhammad did when he took over the city of mecca?

Assalamoalaikum first of all the word is Makkah not mecca. When Makkah is took over by the Mohammad Rasoolallah (S.A.W) He announced " I forgave all the people who teased me and who wanted to kill me everyone I forgive them all and whoever took place in the house of ABU SUFYAN is also forgiven. why Mohammad took this step? This step is especially taken because Mohammad(S.A.W) want a peaceful environment and Islam also addressed the peace. When Makkah is took over by Prophet, peoples are very scared , they always make hurdles in the way of Prophet and killed his believers. Now they thinking He conquered us ,he can do every thing and they are hoping a strong and strict reaction from him but my beloved Prophet is very kind ,said " I forgave all the people who teased me and who wanted to kill me everyone I forgive them all and whoever took place in the house of ABU SUFYAN he is also forgiven. Mohammad is very kind person not only for the humanity but also for other creatures. All the time whenever Mohammad was teased by non believers of Islam (mushrik) Allah send an Angel (Hazrat Jibraeel) to his beloved prophet who request Mohammad, O Mohammad please give me an order to destroyed them in seconds but my beloved Prophet said " NO" may be in their next generation any one who believe in Me and Allah.

If Mohammad can split moon why did he died like a normal man?

The Prophet Moses (PBUH) Split the sea. He died at the same age, and in the same natural way, that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) aged to, and died in. If one accepts Moses (PBUH) as a Prophet based on the idea that a Prophet musn't die in a "normal man" type of way, he'd be controdicting himself, as with the Final Messenger of Allah.In fact, if we were to do a tally, most of the Prophets died as a result of natural causes.A'salamualaycom (Peace be upon you)---Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a messenger of Allah SWT, the only god, and Allah SWT who split the moon not Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It is a miracle given to him by Allah SWT the Mighty


Is Mohammad the last disciple of Christ?

no NO. The word "disciple" refers to a person trained in a specific "discipline", or a particular way of life. The way of life that Jesus Christ lived was one of self-sacrifice, teaching and healing persons, ultimately giving his life for his followers. Jesus was God's Son and he always lived in submission to God. I know very little about Mohammad, other that the fact that he considered Jesus to merely be a prophet of the God of Abraham.
