As a Muslim I've seen variations of the above many times. How much of it is accurate is debatable. I can't say with any certainty therefore what is accurate. When people use the above as a way to demonise Islam they often do so without considering one very important point, Mohammad was a man (not the 'son of god') with all the failings and imperfections of man. One could argue that from a Christian perspective that Muhammad 'saw the light'. Hence the birth of the Qur'an. Even as a Muslim I see Muhammad's weaknesses and failings as a man. Islam is centred around the Qur'an and it's moral and spiritual guidance and the importance of maintaining 'faith'. Interpretation is also used as an excuse by evil people to carry out despicable acts whether than be Muslim, Christian or any other religion. Murder cannot be blamed on religion alone as many atheists have committed horrific murders for all sorts of reasons. It is 'people' that murder, sick, misguided, brainwashed, mentally ill or evil. They may use religion as an excuse but it is only that, the truth is to commit such an evil act one has to be evil in the purest sense, what is used as an excuse could be anything. Peace.
