When you have the time that would be great. And thanks.
I dont deny that Mohammed stuck his neck out with islam. Quite literally. It's not surprising in what he was teaching that monothists and polythists alike were against certain aspects of his teachings.More the Monotheists than the polys, which may have a bearing on the relative punishments and hostility of gods word to these seperate groups. The montheists merely had to accept a different version of their own scripture and accept a pro-arab version. Polytheists were stuffed seven ways to hell.
Prophethood is a risky trade, and many fall by the wayside. Some succeed.
