Convinced of his status he was intolerant of those who rejected him assassinated those who criticized him raided looted and massacred entire populations. He reduced thousands to slavery raped and allowed his men to rape female captives. All of this he did with a clear conscience and a sense of entitlement. He was magnanimous toward those who admired him but vengeful toward those who did not. He believed he was the most perfect human creation and the universes raison dtre. Muhammad was no ordinary man. He was a narcissist. Understanding Muhammad ventures beyond the stories. Focusing on the "why" rather than the "what " it unravels the mystique of one of the most enigmatic and influential men in history.
