Safiya Mukhamadova utilizes today's historical research to respond to the contention that Prophet Muhammad was a "warlord". She disagrees with both those enemies of Islam, and those supporters, who say Muhammad was a military genius of great marshal might. In fact, she says, he was nothing of the sort-- It was Calphs Abu Bakr, Uthman, & Umar, who were "warlords more responsible for modern Islam than the Prophet himself"
