Which Famous Person In History Who Is Idolized, Was Actually A Horrible Person? by Mujaheeeden: 7:34pm On Jan 27, 2019
I would choose a man who did the following:

Smashed sculptures which were symbolic of peoples’ religious beliefs.

Amassed his own army, and used it to raid trade caravans.

had a man tortured horribly - a fire was lit on his chest - to make him tell where his money was hidden, then when the man had been killed, “married” the man’s widow.

Plagiarised the work and knowledge of others, presenting it as revelations from his moon god via an alleged archangel.

Presided over the massacre of at least 600 people who wouldn’t accept his new religion. Took slaves.

At the age of 52, insisted on marrying a six-year old girl, using her for his sexual gratification at her father’s house, then finally having sex with her when she was nine, claiming that all had been approved by his moon god.

Dictated notes for a book which he could never edit or read, due to his illiteracy, demeaning women, incorporating plagiarised material from old Jewish texts and related Greek and Egyptian scientific discoveries, and calling for violence against those who worshiped a different god to his tribal one.

Advocated torture and butchering of people who opposed his new religion.

Dictated laws which ensured 1400 years of misogyny, and making rape almost impossible for a woman to prove, resulting in them being charged and punished for either adultery, or lewd behaviour, usually with whippings, which have often proved fatal for the rape victim.

Banned marriage between members of his religion with people of other beliefs without conversion.
Who was this man, who became revered- as the “best example of human behaviour”- by far more people than all the others combined?

Muhammad.
