Spending too much time on wars, not making clear who his succesor would be, and all those none sense marriages for political reason.
Comment on answer above
Who are you to judge on a prophet and criticize him without any knowledge or understanding. Can you judge on Jesus and tell what his mistakes. Can you judge on any prophet to tell his mistakes. How you dare to say on a prophet whose followers are around one fourth of world population that he made non sense marriage. Please refrain yourself from answering something that you don't know and that you don't understand.
First: as for your claim that Prophet Muhammad spent too much time on wars. Did you know any of these wars that he initiated by himself. None. All the wars that prophet Muhammad participated in initiated by the disbelievers who arranged their armies and move to the Muslims city to attack them. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was spreading love, peace, forgiveness, and tolerance.
Second your claim that he didn't make clear who his successor. Do you consider this is mistake. It is mentioned in Quran that Muslims should follow the principle of 'Shoura' that means consultation and election. Isn't this what is known now as democracy? Is this mistake.
Third: your claim that he made non sense marriages. I challenge you to find a prophet or any one in the 6th century that he did marry with one wife over 25 years and even without having any illegal wife. Even, Jesus although he didn't marry, as most Christians believe, but left this world while relatively much younger than the average men age while in the early thirties. Prophet stayed in marriage with a single woman for 25 years (although she was widow and was older than him with 15 years) and without having any sex with any one else before or during his marriage with her. Regarding other marriages, each one of them was for a reason and is inspired by God.
Can Muslims eat food cooked by Christians?
Many foods are common to the Christians and the Muslims. The Muslims, however, don't eat the following:
All pure and clean foods are Halal (lawful) for the Muslims except the following. Eating flesh of dead animals/birds. Eating flesh of animals/birds declared Haram.
All grazing cattle are Halal (lawful) but the following have been declared Haram (unlawful) in the holy Qur'an. Allah Almighty (God) says in the holy Qur'an: Quote:
"Forbidden to you are the dead meat and blood, and swine flesh, and that on which the name other than Allah's has been pronounced at the time of slaughter, and that which has died by strangling, and that which dies due to a blow, and that which dies due to a fall, and that which is killed by impact, and that which has been eaten by a beast except the one that you slaughter, and those that are slaughtered at the altars, and that you distribute by drawing lot with arrows, all these are sins."
Who witnessed Mohamed's ascension in Jerusalem?
He is the sole human to testify of it.
But you know what?
They asked him to prove that he was in Jerusalem. The people of Makkah knew he had never travelled there.
Muhammad not only described Jerusalem down to its little streets, (Muhammad later said that, though he could not remember much of what he saw, Allah showed it to him as he spoke), but he also described the condition of a particular rest stop down to details of how a glass was laying on its side in a particular place. So they sent out a rider to that rest stop. He returnrd leter that day to report that Muhammad was right.
But even more than that, Muhammad said that he passed a caravan of x number of camels and x number of men carrying goods that were from such and such a place. He said that the caravan would arrive to Makkah around mid day.
And it did.
Answer II
Hazrat Abou Bakar Siddique (ra ) witnessed it and was reason of addition of word Siddique in his name .
Comment on answer II above:
Abu Bakr Assiddique did NOT witness it. When he was told that Muhammad was going around telling people that he travelled to Jerusalem and back, Abu Bakr said: If Muhammad said it, then he did. THAT is why he is called Assiddique - because he believed the Prophet immediately.

Scientific advantages of prayer of a Muslim?
The Islamic prayer consists of the following steps: # standing with hands on top of each other at chest level # bowing down with hands resting on knees # standing up from bowing with hands by the side # going in prostration (sajjda) once # lifting face up from prostration but sitting on the ground # doing a second prostration (Sajjda) and then getting up These psysical movements that a Muslim does during prayer strenghten the joints and muscles and stimulate blood circulation. Consequently, they also prevent the stagnation of bloog in the veins of the legs (which may lead to coagulation and other problems). Sajdah is a unique position or stance in the regular prayers, which a Muslim is supposed to offer at least five times a day. Although the basic purpose of obligatory prayers isn't to provide an exercise for people, it is being increasingly recognized that it has plenty of medical advantages. Sajdah is a unique position as this is the only position in which brain (or head) becomes lower than the heart and hence for the first time the blood gushes towards the brain with full force whereas in all other positions (even when lying) brain is above the heart when it has to work against gravity to send blood to the brain. In the position of Sajdah due to the increased blood supply the brain receive more nourishment and it has good effect upon memory, vision, hearing, concentration, psyche and all other cognitive abilities. People who offer their prayers regularly have more will power and can cope with the difficulties of life in a much better manner. They have fewer incidences of headaches, psychological problems and other defects of cognitive function. http://www.armannd.com/prayers-and-health.html

Should the Prophet Muhammad name be spelled with a u and all others with o i.e Mohammad in Islam?
This doesn't really make sense, since the name is an Arabic one and written differently in Arabic--there is no single corrrect way to spell it in English. People name their children after Prophet Muhammad (God bless him and grant him peace) out of love and respect for him, and the hope that their children will be good, religious men. There's no reason for them to spell it differently--it should be spelled the same.
Any miracles of the last prophet?
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had had many a miracles.
Such as when a non Muslim asked the prophet that all the prophets before you had been given miracles as a proof . What miracle can you do? then the prophet asked him back "What do you want to see" . The Arab kew that the magic does not work on the sky, so they challenged him do divide the moon into two halves. The instant the Prophet of Allah pointed towards the moon and it was divided into two distinct halves. Even the traders from far away claimed to have witnessed this miracle. The the Aan then later the Prophet pointed back at the moon so it be reunited, and so it did. Even today, the scientist have claimed that there is this one huge line running through the moon.
Another miracle of the Holy Prophet is the Holy Quran. Any where in the world, you may pick, any Holy Quran, it will be free from errors or dissimilarities, unlike all other Holy books on Earth.
All the Muslims agreed that it was not necessary to be the direct descendant of the Prophet (SAW) to qualify as the leader of the Muslims. The Prophet (SAW) had no son. The Muslims agreed on the Caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU), Hazrat Umar (RAU) and then Hazrat Usman (RAU). It was long after the death of the Prophet (SAW) that this idea was planted and their arose a split among the Muslims.
