Was Muhammad a true prophet? One billion people are devoted to him. Many kill for him…

Here are 50 reasons why Muhammad must be rejected as a true prophet of God.

MUHAMMAD’S SPIRITUAL PROBLEMS

MUHAMMAD’S PROBLEMS WITH PAGANISM AND IDOLATRY

• Islam promotes idolatry (e.g., bowing down to the Kaaba and kissing the black stone).
• Islam promotes pagan rituals (e.g., the pilgrimage to Mecca).

MUHAMMAD’S PROBLEMS WITH VIOLENCE

• The Qur’an claims that the sun sets in a pool of murky water.
• Muhammad’s teachings about personal hygiene would lead to death if Muslims took them seriously.
• Muhammad claimed that Gabriel explained to him why children look like one parent or the other. Gabriel’s answer is completely false and ludicrous.

MUHAMMAD’S EVIDENTIAL PROBLEMS

• When Muhammad was too shy to tell his dinner guests to leave, Allah stepped in with a special revelation that should make everyone wonder whether Muhammad’s revelations really have anything to do with God.
• The Qur’an declares that Christians find Muhammad mentioned in our scriptures. Yet our scriptures call Muhammad an antichrist.

• The Qur’an claims that Alexander the Great and Aesop were devout Muslims.
• Allah promises to protect the Qur’an from corruption, but the Qur’an has been corrupted (by Muslim standards).

MUHAMMAD’S PROBLEMS WITH WOMEN
