The Prophet Muhammad was a raging sociopath

Yesterday I watched the latest video by Jaclyn Glenn titled “Atheist vs Muslim.” I’m not going to get into the content of the video. If you’re interested, click the link I’ve provided. In the description of the video, Jaclyn provides the following link, a list showing the murders ordered by Muhammad. The list is fairly long. The number of deaths attributed to Muhammad alone should speak about the moral character of the alleged prophet. But when you actually get down to reading why he ordered these killings, it is clear that the Prophet Muhammad was a raging sociopath, on par with Joseph Stalin or Saddam Hussein. Some of these killings come straight from the Quran. Let’s examine some of these murders.

Muhammad signed thirteen death warrants for doing nothing more than writing or reciting poetry that criticized Muhammad. Not all of the condemned were assassinated, however. The few who survived were only allowed to live because they converted to Islam. To me, this sounds like a pretty insecure guy who kills anyone who calls out his bullshit. The only thing that can save you is to pray five times a day!

Next on the chopping block is Al-Harith bin Suwayd al-Ansari, who lost his head merely for leaving Islam. What is interesting about this is that Muhammad forgave Al-Harith, before changing his mind and ordering the hit. I know that execution is common for the crime of apostasy in Islam, but name me any other religion that, in modern days, still supports the killing of people who leave their faith. In the 21st century this seems to be entirely the domain of Islam.

Two years later Muhammad ordered a group of Muslims to gun down (figuratively speaking, of course) three people. Their only crime? They worshipped multiple gods.

In a horrific display of depravity, between February and March 627, Mohammad and his posse slaughtered all the men of the Banu Qurayza tribe (between 600-900 people). Then they took as slaves all the children and women and divided the land and property amongst themselves. What crimes did the people of the Banu Qurayza tribe commit? None. Muhammad committed this act of genocide strictly because the angel Gabriel told him to.

Later that year Muhammad ordered the assassination of Abdullah ibn Ubayy, but quickly changed his mind because Abdullah had a large following of his own (and probably didn’t want to get 86’ed himself).

In January 630 Muhammad ordered the execution of Sarah because she used to touch his willy in Mecca.

That October he called for the death of the King (or Prince?) of Dumatul Jandal solely to steal his treasures.

He ordered a blind man to kill his wife for insulting him. The blind man obeyed.

Ibn Sunayna was killed because Muhammad ordered his followers to “kill any Jew that falls into your power.” A Muslim heard this and complied. I wonder if Muslims still listen to this credo.

He commanded his followers to kill a man from the Aslam tribe because that man committed adultery. We still see this today in the Muslim world.

Finally on the list, Muhammad called for the assassination of Kinana ibn al-Rabi because Kinana had hidden treasure, and Muhammad wanted it. I can only imagine an It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World-esque plot unfolding once Muhammad secured the location of said buried treasure!

The “Prophet” Muhammad committed acts of terror and genocide so vile that, if he had committed them today, he would be one of the most hated and wanted men alive. As I’ve written before, Islam is a dangerous religion, perhaps the most dangerous religion out there today. Unfortunately, the behavior of its prophet offers it no hope for salvation. Muhammad was a sociopathic madman, intent on wiping out entire cities and raping its women, murdering anyone who questions him, and murdering people for monetary gain, a la The Professional, only with an equally murderous boss, Allah.

Why couldn’t Allah pick someone a little more level-headed to whom to reveal himself? Maybe it’s because it took someone so bat shit crazy to carry out Allah’s will. Or maybe Muhammad just made the whole thing up!

    Actually Al-Harith bin Suwayd al-Ansari was murdered because when he left islam he killed innocent people which is why he was beheaded. When a tribe declared war on the muslims, tribe of banu quarayza was expected to help the muslims as they agreed, but instead they decided to betray the muslims and help the other tribe kill the muslims, that is why they were killed the women and children were taken in because their male figures were dead and needed people to take care of them. they were not harmed in any way. It is called the battle of the trench. It is called this because to avoid war and killing with the other tribe they wanted to stay peaceful and dug a trench around the city as defence but the tribe of banu quarayza helped the other tribe get pass it and tried to assassinate the prophet(pbuh).

    When you talked about the assassination of Kinana ibn al-Rabi This story is not found in any of our most authentic collection of Hadith. Nor is there any truth to it. This is because it is claimed in the report that Kinana was tortured with ‘fire’- this cannot be true because there are many authentic Hadith where Prophet (p) forbade torture with fire. Moreover, the Prophet (p) had everything he wished, he would never torture someone for money. As a matter of fact, the Prophet (p) was offered by the Quraish anything in the world he wanted and even would have made him leader of them as long as he stopped preaching the Message of Islam. The Prophet declined their offer. This just goes against the character of the Prophet (p). Furthermore, scholars below mention that there is no truth to the part about ‘treasure’, it is false. The reason he was killed is because he took a life unlawfully.

    Also adultery was a death sentence by all religions back then and that is not the case today

      Abdullah ibn Ubayy Was constantly trying to kill the prophet but later repented for his sins and converted to islam. Why dont u try reading a non bias website sometimes cuz if a 13 year old knows this and u don’t thats sad muslims also believe in religious tolerance and non violence so please stop spreading lies about muslims before I violate my religion.

    Megalomania and bizarre psychological condition made him leader of a greedy pagan group.

    Lei’lah seems to be going to great efforts to romanticise and explain the context of just plain old uneccessary warfare. A great leader stands the test of time without such explaination and their great deeds much more obvious. Explanations to such depth as ‘its just not in his character’….total utter goob. If a person killed back then cause it was ok back then…doesn’t make a person great. I have yet to hear great things of this so called Prophet…more like a schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur.
