like you i too have not read history. but unlike you i am not a devout religious. just an atheist but Hindu. it is greatness of hindu religion that it accepts me in its fold. being an atheist i am not sure about who should be called messenger of god but from earthly experience i understand who should be called messenger of death and evil. tell me if it is not true that your prophet raped a 9 years old girl called ayesha, if he has himself not participated in genocide of various jewish and pre-islamic tribes. tell me if koran has not got detailed accounts how to kill a pow and rape women captives. if the references attributed to koran and prophet in faithfreedom.org is false. compare the acts and life of your prophet with message of compassion , love and divinity of Jesus , budha, mahavir and take an intelligent decision yourselves.
