man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the savior
of Humanity. I have prophesied about the faith of Mohammad that it would be
acceptable the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe
of today.
THOMAS CARLYLE (Heros and Heros Worship):
The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round his man
(Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only… How one man single-handedly,
could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized

He was the most famous protector of those he protected, the sweetest and most
agreeable in conversation. Those who saw him were suddenly filled with
reverence; those who came near him loved him; they who described
him would say, “I have never seen his like either before or
after.” He was of great taciturnity, but when he spoke
it was with emphasis and deliberation, and
no one could forget what he
