H.G. Wells once wrote in "Outlines of History": "Because Mohammed too founded a great religion, there are those who write of this evidently lustful and rather shifty leader as though he were a man to put beside Jesus of Nazareth. But it is surely manifest that he was a being of commoner clay; he was vain, egotistical, tyrannous, and a self-deceiver; and it would throw all our history out of proportion if, out of an insincere deference to the possible Moslem reader, we were to present him in any other light."
If only those of the Islamic faith would make a foray into Mohammed's historicity, I dare say they would unmask the counterfeit Muslim leader for whom Mr. Well states he really was. As Mr. Wells eludes to, Mohammed appears to be an imitation fabricated in his own delusional mind. I do believe the truth is out there for all who truly seek it. As Christians we have been told that "the truth will set you free." Therefore, I urge Muslims everywhere to seek the truth and be set free. In essence, I agree with Well's in that Mohammed was far from being the prophet Islam depicts him as being.
