Fact When Muhammad and his army would attack rival tribes in Arabia, they would kill the men and keep women as sex slaves Muhammad had many such women as his sex slaves and even fathered a child with a Christian sex slave named Mary, who was his favorite because of her light complexion. He allowed his followers to do the same so long as the sex slaves were not Muslim. He also allowed married men to keep sex slaves. My position All Muslims who believe that Muhammad was a prophet even ones who don't condone sexual slavery must condemn Muhammad or else they are bad people. The fact that a mere mortal would keep a sex slave is unacceptable to me and I don't see how a man who supposedly represents God can be a sex slave owner as well. Why do Muslims continue to believe he was the perfect man and an actual prophet despite the fact that he raped women? This issue is very important to me because thousands of Muslims have joined ISIS and as you know, one of ISIS' goals is to convert all infidels to Islam, one method being genocide via rape. One group that has been devastated has been the Yazidis. ISIS claims that because Muhammad made sex slaves of captured non Muslim women, they have the right to do so as well ISIS also justifies the enslavement of non Muslim women from verses in the Quran I can't see why ISIS' logic is incorrect. The only way it seems they are wrong would be that Muhammad was not really a prophet after all. Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbdul Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim in short form Muhammad, is considered by Muslims to be the last Messenger and Prophet sent by God to guide humanity to the right way Quran 7 157 . Muslims often refer to Muhammad as Prophet Muhammad, or just The Prophet or The Messenger, and regard him as the greatest of all Prophets. He is seen by Muslims as a possessor of all the virtues. The deeds and sayings in the life of Muhammad – known as Sunnah – are considered a model of the life style that Muslims are obliged to follow. Recognizing Muhammad as God's final messenger is one of the central requirements in Islam which is clearly laid down in the second part of the Shahada. Muslims believe that Muhammad was the possessor of the moral virtues at the highest level, and was a man of moral excellence. He represented the 'prototype of human perfection' and was the best among God's creations. The 68 4 verse of the Quran says 'And you Muhammad are surely on exalted quality of character'. Consequently, to the Muslims, his life and character are an excellent example to be emulated both at social and spiritual levels. Islamic belief holds that God protected Muhammad from involving in any disrespectful and coarse practice. Even when he verged on any such activity, God intervened. So, if Muhammad is perfect and ALL Muslims are required to follow in his deeds, which are considered a model life, then how can ISIS be condemned for enslaving and raping non Muslim women since Muhammad did the exact same thing? Edit Before you reply, please have a look at some common arguments people have made, which still have not explained why 1. Muhammad is still revered as a prophet despite the rapes he committed and 2. why ISIS is wrong when they state that Muhammad, through his actions, gives them the legitimacy to rape non Muslims Christians also did bad things. Why don't Christian condemn the Church? My reply I never said Christianity was the rightful path. Christians should condemn the Church if they believe the Church is wrong. Why don't you start your own  on Christianity? I'll join in and bash the Catholic Church for the Inquisition. You're cherrypicking the worst part of Muhammad? My reply What good did Muhammad do that overshadows persistent rape and genocide that he committed and condoned? Muhammad lived in a different time period. My reply I thought he represented the all knowing God? If he is God's messenger and God spoke to him over the course of his life, then why did God not tell Muhammad to not rape women? It seems like a pretty important thing to leave out. Were human beings too stupid to understand this in 7th century? And in which time period did God make this clear to us? Muhammad was just an ordinary man like the American founding fathers slave owning rapists like Jefferson. My reply Wasn't he a prophet? Isn't a prophet, by definition supposed to show us how to behave? The American founding fathers didn't claim to be prophets and Americans don't regard them as such. Not all Muslims are bad people. My reply I didn't say this. I said, unless they denounce Muhammad they are bad people. ISIS don't represent all Muslims. My reply True, not all Muslims support ISIS. But ISIS claims legitimacy through the actions of Muhammad, the same prophet you all believe to be the perfect person whose life style ALL Muslims are obliged to follow Please explain why ISIS' logic is incorrect Muhammad was sent by god gt Muhammad raped non Muslim women who didn't convert to Islam allowed his followers to rape women to spread Islam based on Muhammad's actions, not just interpretation of a few lines the Quran gt God did not denounce Muhammad gt ISIS can rape non Muslim women to further spread Islam and will not be rebuked for it. gt This is a footnote from the  moderators.

ALL Muslims are bad people unless they denounce Muhammad because they believe he was a prophet despite him being a rapist and a sex-slave owner.
