It seems like he promoted tolerence until he fled to Medina. There, he and his followers would attack caravans like common thugs - except this thug was getting "holy revelations" from Allah so that must totally justify it! Right? He would also go on to kill an old man, a mother and her kids, and a shoekeeper because they criticized him. Please explain how this is different from Osama bin Laden killing people for criticizing him and don't tell me to Google it. Another time, he tortured a Jewish leader to death because he wouldn't hand over his money. Does this mean it's okay for Muslims to rob people in back alleys? Again, I would like for YOU to explain to me how these are not acts of terrorism.
