Here is a Hadith that shows how cruel Muhammad really was.
Hadith Bukhari
Volume 8, Book 82, Number 794:
Narrated Anas:
Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the Prophet ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized, till they die.
the interesting aspect of that story is that Muhummad is lauded for his action-------the persons who had killed the keeper of the camels and stolen the camels are not exactly vilified for that action-----they were not executed for murder and theft-----they were executed for giving up on islam and worship of muhummad. Muhummad----when he steals and murders and rapes-------is lauded for doing so like he is doing the victims of his criminal violence some kind of "favor". The moral to every story in the koran is -----"muhummad is always right" and "islam is always the victor"
