How did the Ottomans and the Mughals each treat non-Muslims?
Ottoman Empire
Non-Muslims who lived in the Ottoman Empire were called Dhimmi, or second-class citizens. They lacked a number of fundamental rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of settlement, access to all occupations, and additional taxation because they were Non-Muslim. Each Dhimmi group, like the Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and so forth were organized into Millets which were community representative groups. Each Millet would report to a centralized Millet representative in Istanbul who would have direct dealing with the Imperial Palace. This would allow the Millets to air their grievances, but was more often used as a method to control the Millets and make them less resistive to Ottoman Occupation.
Admittedly, life under the Ottomans was far superior to most contemporaneous Empires. Spain was by far a more religiously and culturally intolerant place during this period as were France and England.
Finally, the Ottomans' most egregious crime was the policy of devşirme, where Christian families in the Balkans region had to submit to Ottoman soldiers stealing their children to bring to them to Istanbul where they would have no contact with their parents for years and be trained to be the elite Janissary Core and be converted to Islam. No Muslim was even allowed to join the Janissaries because the devşirme system was so effective in producing recruits loyal only to the Emperor because they feared him.
Mughal Empire
The situation for Non-Muslims in India under the Mughal Empire depended on the specific ruler in charge. Generally speaking, the Mughal Rulers used a similar policy of designating Non-Muslims as Dhimmis, but there were some highs and lows for Non-Muslims of India.
Under the rule of King Akbar the Great, other religions were brought into parity with Islam. Akbar famously had courtiers from all faiths and himself dabbled in various faiths, eventually developing his own Islamic heresy called "Din-i-Ilahi". Islamic Scholars generally consider Akbar's reign to be one of depravity because he did not enforce an Islamic supremacist form of governance.
Conversely, under his grandson, King Aurangzeb, there were events of forcible conversion. One famous such event was when Aurangzeb demanded that the Ninth Sikh Guru renounce his faith and become a Muslim, but when the Guru refused to capitulate, Aurangzeb had him beheaded. Aurangzeb is well-known in India for this and other acts of forcible conversation as well as destroying major Hindu Temples such as the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Kesava Deo Temple, and Somnath Temple in order to build mosques on those sites.
Where in the Koran does Gabriel meet with Mohammed?
The supposed meeting between Muhammad and Gabriel is not recounted in the Qur'an, since the Qur'an is not actually a story of Muhammad's life, but rather the moral lessons that God wanted to impart to the world through Muhammad. Discussions of Muhammad's encounters with Gabriel are recounted in numerous Hadiths and the Sirat An-Nabi (Biography of Muhammad).
As for the physical location where Muhammad is said to have met Gabriel, this was the CAVE AT MOUNT HIRA, in modern-day Saudi Arabia.
Was the Prophet Muhammad a peaceful man?
He is the messenger of Allah and if all Muslims want to go to Jannah we have to follow his footsteps.

It is the complete code of life. It teaches all human beings how to lead a truthful, just and peaceful life on this earth. It lays down the guiding principles of life on earth where we can earn the Will of Almighty Allah. It teaches universal human brotherhood. Based on our good deeds and noble actions we can make our life in the hereafter pleasing and fruitful.
Did Muhammad really believe that the sun sets in a pool of water?
Apparently Muhammad did believe that that the sun sets in a pool of water. Not only is it in the Quran, but it is also what he told his followers.
Quran 18:83-91:
"They will ask thee of Dhu'l-Qarneyn. Say: I shall recite unto you a remembrance of him. Lo! We made him strong in the land and gave him unto every thing a road. And he followed a road Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. . . . . . . . ."
Abu Dawud Book 025, Hadith Number 3991:
"Narated By Abu Dharr : I was sitting behind the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) who was riding a donkey while the sun was setting. He asked: Do you know where it sets? I replied: Allah and his Apostle know best. He said: It sets in a spring of warm water (hamiyah)."
What this answer has to do with question I don't know:
The sun and the earth are two different spheres. The sun does not set. Actually, Zulqarnain reached a point from where he could not go any farther. From that point, it seemed to him that the sun set in a mud field.
