What is wrong with Prophet Muhammad’s morality?

What is wrong with Prophet Muhammad’s morality? Some people say Prophet Muhammad was this and that. Do they even know anything about him? Do they even know what he was known for?

Mohammad always detested his people's way of life. He did not approve of their idol worship, nor did he approve of the lifestyle that included drunkenness and illicit relations between men and women. Therefore, Mohammad regularly went away from the city to the desert to contemplate life and to seclude and distance himself from the actions and lifestyle of his people. At the age of 40, Mohammad started to receive revelations from God through the angel Gabriel.

Mohammad taught people that all humans are equal, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or tribe. He taught slaves that they had rights and that they were equal to their masters. He taught that the rich must pay a portion of their wealth to the poor. Mohammad was a revolutionary, fighting for freedom. His mission was to free humanity from worshipping false idols, to free the poor from the stranglehold of the rich and to free people from the oppression imposed on them by priests of false religions.

The Muslim army captured many prisoners, including many of those who had persecuted, tortured and killed Muslims for 13 years before they emigrated to Madina. The prisoners were gathered in front of Prophet Mohammad He asked them: "What do you think I will do to you?" Knowing how they had treated Mohammad and his followers, the prisoners were afraid that their fate would be death as a punishment for their crimes. However, in an attempt to ask for leniency, one of them replied: "You are a kind brother and nephew to us", reminding Mohammad that they were his people and many of them were from the same tribe as Mohammad. Mohammad replied to them: "You are all free to go!"

Commonly cited concerns relate to the age of his wife Aisha (which is disputed), to his actions during wars with the Meccans and later with other groups, in particular the Banu Qurayza, his marriage to Zaynab, his endorsement of patriarchal ideals, his insufficient condemnation of slavery and the way in which he was exempt from some of the limitations which he imposed upon his followers, in particular regarding limits on the numbers of wives.

How much of this is valid criticism, I do not profess to know, but those are the common ones.

If the tribe has only 100 men and 400 women because 300 men died in the battle. Why not have 4 wives?

What's wrong is he acted like the non-Muslims he condemned and was in some ways worse than them while trying to say he had moral authority from Allah which made him better. What's even worse is that Muslims view him as a paragon of moral conduct and that Muslims today should emulate his actions. Today plenty of Muslims in Muslim-majority countries act no better than the Meccans their prophet allegedly bested.

In Islam is not allowed to have 4 wives unless you treat them equal. (2) You still have to afford to have 1 wife.

In pre-Islamic Arabia killing of female infants was very common and very often the moment a female was born she was buried alive. Muhammad made a stop to that.

What is wrong with Mickey Mouses' morality?

I can cite many examples of how he was a good friend, confidant, and hero. He showed bravery, kindness, and ingenuity over the years.

When the archangel Gooficus came
to him in 1934 and begin to reveal to us god's plan. . .

I'm sure you get the rest. Replace Mickey Mouse with Mohammad, and that's pretty much your argument. Actually, Mickey's superior, because no one dies when a cartoonist draws him.
