In 1978, Jewish-American astrophysicist Michael H. Hart released a book titled, The 100, A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History. In that book, they chose Muhammad as the most influential person in history. And of course, the Islamic websites and blogs all praise that because that agrees with the Quran. and that the Quran says in Surah 33, 21 that Muhammad was, quote, excellent model of conduct, end quote. Surah 68 in verse four, quote, an excellent standard of character, end quote. And Surah 4 in verse 80, quote, he obeys the messenger, Muhammad obeys Allah, end quote. But let me say this, that people are influential for a number of reasons. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong were all influential, but not for the right reasons. There are others that have a varying opinion of Muhammad, and one is a fellow by the name of Ali Sina. Ali Sina is an ex-Muslim, currently an agnostic, and he's working with some people that may be able to convince him that Christianity is the truth. Ali Sina said this, quote, Muhammad is a narcissist, a pedophile, a mass murderer, a terrorist, a misogynist, a lecher, a cult leader, a madman, a rapist, a torturer, an assassin, and a looter. Then we have Thomas Carlyle in his book On Heroes, Hero Worship, and the Heroic in History, refers to Muhammad in Islam as an uncultured, semi-barbarous son of nature, a wretched imitation, a hungry imposter without eyes or heart. In the Quran, Muhammad is depicted as a reincarnated demon, Islam as a demonic religion, and its followers the corruptors of religion. The Mandaean text about their arrival in Iraq as Nestorians from Jerusalem, Muhammad is referred to as, quote, the son of slaughter, the Arab, end quote, or quote, the most degraded of false prophets, the seal of prophets of the lie who converted people to himself by the sword, end quote. In a ninth century Tibetan Buddhist text, Muhammad is referred to as a demonic incarnation and a false imposter. The Muslims are described as invading barbarians, and their religion is a religion of violence, and they advocate savage behavior. The fact of the matter is that Muhammad ordered 65 military campaigns in the last nine years of his life. 25 years after Muhammad's death, Muslim armies had overcome 28 modern countries. Muslims have waged jihad for over 1,400 years. Over 18,000 terror attacks in the name of Islam in the last 10 years. They behead their captives, enslave children, and rape women. Their followers are promised a, an excused expression, a cat house in the sky if they die for Islam. If you leave Islam, you are to be murdered. And amazingly enough, the Quran never speaks of Allah's love for unbelievers. William Ewert Gladstone was the Prime Minister of Great Britain four times in the late 1800s. He called the Quran, quote, an accursed book, end quote. And once held it up during a session of Parliament declaring, quote, so long as there is this book, the Quran, there will be no peace in the world, end quote. To which I say, amen.
