'''Muhammad''' (also spelled '''Mohammed''' or (archaic) '''Mahomet''') (A.D. 570-632), was the founder of the ideology of [[Islam]].

'''Muhammad''' (also spelled '''Mohammed''' or (archaic) '''Mahomet''') (A.D. 570-632), was an Arab statesman, warlord, slaver, and political theorist who codified a complex series of teachings and laws into [[Islam]], which, as the dominant ideology of the Islamic world, has had a profound impact on world history. His conquests and political philosophy later served as inspiration for Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, the latter of whom (at least) planned to destroy Christianity and develop a new religion using Islam as a template.

Claimed by adherents of Islam as the final and greatest "[[prophet]]"<ref>[http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/muhammad-false-prophet.html "Prophet" Muhammad?]</ref> of [[Allah]] (which they and their liberal allies incorrectly claim to be the [[God]] of [[Christianity]] and [[Judaism]]<ref>[http://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2016/12/27/clergy/islam-anti-civilization/ Islam: Anti-Civilization] at Conservative News and Views</ref><ref>[http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/allah-moon-god.html Allah Moon God]</ref>), Muhammad claimed in Allah's [[revelation]]s, via the angel [[Gabriel]], that Judaism and Christianity had grown corrupt, and that Muhammad was to restore the religion God intended. However, common criticisms of Mohammed are: his marriage to a nine-year-old girl was inappropriate; his authorization of the beating of disobedient wives given in the [[Koran]] is unacceptable; and he was a vengeful, man of war (Mohammed said, “If God gives me victory in Quraysh [Muhammad’s own tribe in Mecca] in the future, I will mutilate 30 of their men.”).<ref>
