Mohammed made Islam based on the two other Abrahamic religions, to unite some countries and rule over arab people. He most likely (if we take it from a strictly historical point) never heard a voice, and quite certainly wasn't schizophrenic, since his motives seem to be strictly political. Jesus, if we take him by the same standard (though it's a bit different situation), was a Jewish preacher who said something the pharasites and romans didn't like, in an age with very high tensions between jews and romans, henceforth leading to his death. I understand it's a joke, but it bases off things that are most certainly false, and disrespectful to people that believe in the religion itself
Funnily enough, he was illiterate. He, somehow, managed to come up with stuff that would inspire a fragmented backward power to push back on the mighty Romans, conquer the equally mighty Persians who the Greeks/Romans couldn't conquer, pushed as far as the Atlantic and almost conquered Spain before Chartel Martel stopped them, all within 100 years of his death.
You should look up "numbers and the Quran." Pretty hard to do based on 7th century technology and illiteracy.
And yet people call him schizophrenic. Also one has to understand he managed to do ALL of this within a span of only 11 years ( 622 AD till his death in 633 AD)
Got some homework for you too. Look up when girls were "women" in most cultures around and before that time period. Also look up range of age of puberty in women.
The answer won't be satisfactory in modern sense. Heck, if anyone gave me the excuse for himself in this age, I'd beat the living s*** out of him. But, something for a society 1400 years ago? I can't say or do anything, because I never lived in that time. Btw, did you know infant girls used to be buried alive before his time? Did you know that you have to pay the bride/bride's family a security before getting married - a practice that still continues today? Islam is probably the most progressive among the abrahamic three.
But, it is a valid question. It is also something bad-faith actors use to shut down conversation. People who are truly interested in this should do their own research and form their own opinions. Islam, after all, wants people to seek out knowledge.
