"Muhammad was born in the year 570 in the town of Mecca, He was the first and only son of Abd Allah bin Al-Muttalib and Amina bint Wahb. Abd Allah died before Muhammad's birth and Muhammad was raised by his mother Amina, who in keeping with Meccan tradition entrusted her son at an early age to a wet nurse named Halima from the nomadic tribe of the Sa'd ibn Bakr.
When Muhammad was five or six his mother took him to Yathrib, an oasis town a few hundred miles north of Mecca, to stay with relatives and visit his father's grave there. On the return journey, Amina (his mother) took ill and died. She was buried in the village of Abwa on the Mecca-Medina Road. Halima, his nurse, returned to Mecca with the orphaned boy and placed him in the protection of his paternal grandfather, Abdul Al-Muttalib."

It is amazing that he went from being an orphan to being a military Dictator and a prophet who still has over a billion followers. He changed history. However, I have known many orphans in the environments I've lived in like ghettos, homeless shelters, group homes, jails, department of corrections, foster homes, AA meetings, and wet houses. My point being, that not having a healthy set of biological parents can influence people in a very negative way. They can often be very angry, unhappy, and aggressive people with a criminal record.
Sorry, but I think Muhammad was sick. Not only did he marry a six year old when he was 53, but the Koran contains many narcissistic words like those who oppose the prophet, who oppose "God's messenger" and his agenda should be crucified, have their hands and feet cut off, and boiling water poured on them, and torture in the next life. Those words are also a sign that he had psychopathic fantasies. I think the man was troubled and not entirely responsible for his actions.
I do admire him for having nothing and being an orphan who rose to such power and still influences the world in huge ways. However, I'm guessing that his influence on the world is not a very healthy one considering how much jihad, terrorism, pedophilia, polygamy, and civil wars go on today in his name today and throughout history. Islam is simply not healthy for our world because the atrocities committed in the name of Islam are justified and promoted in the Koran. It is also highly intolerant where people are imprisoned and executed for questioning the "messenger" and his "holy" book. It simply is not a good influence on our planet and policies.
But I do admire and am intrigued by the fact that he had no parents and essentially had nothing yet rose to such power and influence in our world. I also feel kind of sorry for him as well. Happy people don't have such violent cruel fantasies. May he rest in peace. I just don't think he was in control of his anger and emotions, therefore he may not have been culpable. I don't think he was entirely at fault.
