5 ages after Jesus the Arabian trader Mohammad met Muslim Christianity in Syrian monasteries. Mohammad failed to grasp the message love everybody like yourself.
i believe that Mohammad born in Arabia, developed the agressive sect 'Mohammedanism' as branch of Islam with as motto: 'attack is the best defense' (but peace on him)Mohammed claimed to be a prophet, but might be seen as 10 ages later 'Martin Luther' within Catholicism. 'Muhammedanism' is a kind of Islamic Protestantism
Mohammedanism filled the gap left by the crumbled Eastern Empire of the Romans, resulting in constant war with Zoroastrian Persia
In Sunni Mohammedanism Mohammad's closest friend and father-in-law Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, became his legitimate elected succesor in 632. The Shi'a Mohammedanists follow Mohammad's cousin and son-in-law Ali Ibn Abi Talib. It makes more sense to see Mohammad as Arabian Emperor than as prophet.
