he didn't start out a general of anything

his wife had a trading business he ran

did he eventually lead bands of men into battle ?

yeah

in those battles, what were his tactics ?

kill the other side, don't die

did he spare non-combatants ?

yeah

which is pretty exceptional behaviour by the way

did he take them prisoner ?

some prisoner, some not, depends on what they were

some slaves

how did he treat his slaves ?

pretty good

what were his views on those who would not join him ?

the christians and the jews, people of God who had strayed somewhat

others, if they fought him they were enemies

there was an initial consolidation of arabia

what was his views on wives ?

wives are good

one should marry

up to four, but with the caveat that all must be treated equally

and at what age should a wife be ?

What would Germanic heathens be

the only proof is for whenever they are sexually mature

If Muhammed had encountered them

there are various arguments about whether his youngest wife was 9 or 14 or whatever

but the only consistent thing is

sexual maturity

@devolved , probably Muslim

like Persians

according to my understanding of the kuran, aisha was 6 at the time of the marriage ceremony, and was 9 when tmohammed and aisha finally slept together

see its stuff like that

that reveals your total lack of knowledge

none of that is in the quran

by saying that, I'm not disputing the ages etc. you mention

I mean would they be kaffir

but its not in the quran, simple as, it would be odd if that was in the book

I don't know @devolved

yes?

these ages are drawn from various traditions about muhammad's life by various people
