Who is better, Muhammad or Jesus?

Asked by josie (30934points) June 7th, 2013

I am no Christian. I am nothing. I embrace no mystical faith. But there is clearly a conflict among those who are not like me. And it gets down to Jesus, or Mohammad.

We know plenty about Muhammad, less about Jesus. But we certainly know that Muhammad took the words of the angel Gabriel and wrote them down, willingly, so that his followers would kill non believers without a guilty conscience. That includes you and me. His favorite wife was Aisha, who was betrothed at age 6, and with whom the marriage was consummated when she was 9. Not nineteen, nine. Today, that would put in Muhammad in prison, and a lifetime sexual offender status when he got out. On the other hand, Mohammad encourage his followers to kill women who gave into their sexual impulses.
Jesus seems to have encouraged everybody to get along. The violent passages in the Bible are Old Testament. Jesus seems to have been a peaceful sort of fellow. When people were about to kill a girl who had given in to her normal sexual drives, he reminded them that nobody is without weakness and suggested that she should be spared.
Nobody knows if Jesus had a wife or girlfriend, but nothing indicates that if he did that if he did,she was nine years old.

Mohammad was arguably a sexist. Jesus was apparently not.

Etc. etc,

Who is better?
