"no great religious leader has been so maligned as prophet mohammed. attacked in the past as a heretic, an impostor, or a sensualist, it is still possible to find him referred to as "the false prophet." a modern german writer accuses prophet mohammed of sensuality, surrounding himself with young women. this man was not married until he was twenty-five years of age, then he and his wife lived in happiness and fidelity for twenty-four years, until her death when he was forty-nine. only between the age of fifty and his death at sixty-two did prophet mohammed take other wives, only one of whom was a virgin, and most of them were taken for dynastic and political reasons. certainly the prophet's record was better than the head of the church of england, henry viii."
