Mohammad - The Greatest Man That Ever Lived

For an introduction to Islam please visit: http://www.introductiontoislam... Carlyle in 'Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History,' 1840 "The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only." A. S. Tritton in 'Islam,' 1951 The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in one hand and the Qur'an in the other is quite false.De Lacy O'Leary in 'Islam at the Crossroads,' London, 1923. History makes it clear, however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated.Reverend Bosworth Smith in 'Muhammad and Muhammadanism,' London, 1874. "Head of the State as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without the Pope's pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a police force, without a fixed revenue. If ever a man ruled by a right divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the powers without their supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life." Alphonse de LaMartaine in 'Historie de la Turquie,' Paris, 1854. "Philosopher, Orator, Apostle, Legislator, Conqueror of Ideas, Restorer of Rational beliefs.... The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?"Jules Masserman in 'Who Were Histories Great Leaders?' in TIME Magazine, July 15, 1974 Perhaps the greatest leader of all times was Mohammad, who combined all the three functions. To a lesser degree Moses did the same.
