Dear Gladiator, there is no question of mis-conception. The Prophet (Mohammed) is the founder of Islam religion. Before The Prophet, there was no religion called Islam.
The so-called revealation from the Allah was the handiwork of The Prophet (Mohammed) to hoodwink and/or motivate his followers (with all those rewards in heaven or cruel punishments in hell, etc).
The Prophet (Mohammed) changed the verses from time to time to suit the peculiar circumstances. Any amount of jugglery with words cannot convince rationalits like me!
