Why did Muhammad cross the road?

Because he was on the same side as Jesus but then he wanted to teach something different.

Muhammad was born around 570 C.E. in Mecca into the powerful Quraysh tribe and the respected Banu Hashim clan.  Muhammad was orphaned at a young age and so he had different caretakers throughout his formative years.  His father, Abdallah ibn Abd al-Muttalib, died before Muhammad was born and his mother Amina died when he was only six years old.  His grandfather Abd al-Muttalib took over his care, but died two years later.  From then on, Muhammad was cared for by his uncle Abu Talib.  \nMuhammad started out as a shepherd, but he eventually became a merchant.  In his twenties, he met Khadija, a wealthy widow, and became the manager of her caravan.  She was impressed with him because of his integrity and success as a merchant, so she proposed to him, and he accepted.  This marriage greatly improved Muhammad’s financial situation and may be considered somewhat of a turning point for him as up until that time he was a humble orphan.\nMuhammad grew to be concerned with some of the practices he observed among his fellow Arabs.  Some of the pre-Islamic Arabs buried infant girls alive, apparently to avert economic hardship and to avoid the risk of the daughter developing a bad reputation, which would be a scar on the family.  As an orphan, it is no wonder that Muhammad felt a special compassion for these infants, other orphans, widows, the poor, and other social outcasts.  \nMuhammad took to retreating on a regular basis to Mount Hira, where he would meditate inside of a cave.  It is here during one of these retreats that Muhammad the Prophet was born.  He began to receive revelations which frightened him terribly at first.  A voice told him that he was the messenger of God and eventually the presence revealed itself as the angel Gabriel.  Gabriel instructed Muhammad, “Recite!”  Muhammad objected that he was unable to recite, but when Gabriel insisted, he asked, “What shall I recite?”  Then Gabriel revealed to him the very first verses of what would come to be known as the Qur’an, meaning “recitation.”  Muhammad thereafter continued to receive verses until he died.\nHis wife Khadija believed in Muhammad’s message, and soon a few others also converted to the new religion of submission to Allah.  But by and large, in the early years of his Prophethood, the people of Mecca were angered by his teachings.  He criticized the religion of their fathers and had it not been for the protection of his uncle Abu Talib, Muhammad may have been greatly persecuted.  In fact the rest of the Muslims, who were mostly of lower classes, were persecuted to the extent that many emigrated to Abyssinia.  \nIn 619, Abu Talib died, leaving Muhammad without a protector.  His supportive wife Khadijah also died this same year.  These challenges and tragedies in his life did not deter the Prophet, and he continued to receive guidance from Allah.  In one of the most celebrated events of Muhammad’s life, he was sleeping near the Ka’ba when he saw the angel Gabriel come.  The angel cut Muhammad open, removed his heart and entrails, washed them in a golden basin, and placed them back into his body.  Then Gabriel brought Buraq, a magical horse, who took Muhammad on a journey through the sky to Jerusalem.  From there he was taken up through the seven heavens where he reached God Himself.  \nSome men from the city of Yathrib came to Mecca for the pilgrimage in 620, where they met Muhammad and were impressed with him.  They needed a strong leader who could arbitrate in their city, where the tribes were at war.  These men embraced Islam and invited Muhammad to be their leader.  In the year 622, several Muslims emigrated to Yathrib, which came to be known as Medina.  Muhammad himself escaped death to travel to Medina in that same year which was so pivotal that it marked the start of the Islamic calendar.  \nThis move was so important because it was in Medina that an authentic Muslim community, the umma could be established away from the danger of Mecca.

yes the truth is that Muhammad terrorized all of the cities and towns surrounding his base of operations.  All Muhammad gained was by looting, terror , murder and rampage, especially of the Jews who he hated.  Palestinians today follow the same modus operandi,  in terror against the Jews to excise the Jews from their land.

No, no no..\n\nThe chicken crossed the road because, the UN slapped sanctions on him, saying if he didn't cross the road, then he was no longer going to be able to eat. But when they discovered the chicken could fend for himself, they threatened air strikes over his farm..so, he decided to go ahead and cross the road.

there were many Religions before Muhammad including the Jewish religion , 560 yrs after Jesus  Muhammad was born during those times people in Arabia had many idols 300 to be exact one for every day. there were also Christians and Jews in Arabia. The City of Mecca housed these Gods and the people from all around would come and visit their God. at the age of 40 Muhammad started preaching The one God religion in Arabic called Islam and the word for God in Arabic is Allah the name Allah is like the word Adonai, God,Yahweh, Elli,Elohim, Jah, these names are not and can not be mistaken for anything but the one unseen God. As he preached some accepted some didn't, some agreed some didn't the main reason why the people of Mecca disagreed with him was because of economics see as long as Mecca has idols that people could see then they would come and visit their idols and spend money in Mecca. when the people heard about this one God and a God you couldn't see they were worried and upset at the potential loss of revenue. so they fought him. many  Jews and Christians remained in their religions and still supported Muhammad many also changed religions and followed him. and a small amount fought him. but under his rule the Jews and the christians were never forced to change religions they were free to practice their religion. and that is why we still have one of the oldest forms of christanity being practiced is today in egypt and Arabia called Coptic christians in fact Muhammad married a Coptic christian woman name Mary.

yes, the last one too\n\n\n"[38] And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) and made for them wives and offspring. And it was not for a Messenger to bring a sign except by Allâh's Leave. (For) every matter there is a Decree (from Allâh). [39] Allâh blots out what He wills and confirms (what He wills). And with Him is the Mother of the Book "\n\nThe Holy Qur'an

Oh; I'm sure that he surely would have done that, then he made a white rabbit appear out of his turban.\n\nIgnorant Muslims are as bad as ignorant Christians and ignorant Jews (not to mention ignorant atheists)... Please God give these people some brains.

It was not originally a joke. It was a philosophical question about why a chicken, who has no sort of inclination would choose(or involuntarily do so) to cross the road. It then became a joke, because people realized that philosophers were over thinking a simple question with a simple answer: to get to the other side. They had all made suggestions about circumstance and chains of events and whether or not the chicken actually chose to do so or if it was prewired to cross the road or something like that.

When Jesus entered the desert, he entered as a man and not as God.  It was at that point that Satan tried to tempt him, due to his potential weakness.  Jesus showed us that even the weakest man is stronger than Satan if he trusts in God.

If there is a Muslim Gay that means he was far away from the teachings of Islam and that is why he took elicit practices and became gay.\n\nIf a gay wants to go To haj and enter Mosque (Masjid) who can stop him unless somebody knows that he is a Gay. In the site of Allah every sinner is welcome to repent so even if sombody has comitted gravest of sins he is welcome in the house of God to repent and lead a much chaste life than before.

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah.\n\nInsha'Allah, the answer is simple. By definition, a Muslim leaves Islam when he worships anyone or anything other than Allah. So, the answer is that he is no longer a Muslim once he worships a statue (of anything). We're not allowed to worship MUHAMMAD himself, let alone a statue of him. :)\n\nAnd, so of course, no, we cannot support that individual who made the statue in any sense.

His father died before he was born, and his mother died when he was only six. But sheltered by a powerful uncle, he made a good start in life, established himself in a profitable business and married well. Then, at the age of 40, he was transformed. A man who could not read or write, he announced that he was the prophet of God. His name was Muhammad, and in the next 23 years he would bring peace to the warring pagan tribes of Arabia and establish the religion of Islam, which today has 1.2 billion followers.\n\nThree years in the making and fueled by an unprecedented grassroots funding campaign, Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet, travels in the footsteps of the prophet to the Arabian desert and the holy city of Mecca where much of Muhammad's story unfolded. But the film does not just stay in the past. Much of its story is told through the observations of contemporary American Muslims, including a fireman at the World Trade Center on September 11, a second generation Arab-American family \nbuilding a community based on Islamic principles, a Congressional Chief of Staff working for justice, and a refugee fleeing religious persecution, whose experiences in some way echo Muhammad's life. \n\nWith some of the world's greatest scholars on Islam providing historical context and critical perspective, Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet is history in the present tense. It tells of intrigue and faith, bitter persecution and the birth of a holy book, brutal war and brilliant diplomacy in a desert environment where tribal allegiance was often the only protection.\n\nSupported by two educational websites, www.pbs.org/muhammad and www.theislamproject.org, this is an excellent resource for people seeking knowledge about the beginnings of Islam, as well as a better understanding of the millions of American Muslims who regard Muhammad as the Last Prophet.\n\nInitial PBS Broadcast, Muhammad: \nLegacy of a Prophet\n\nOur initial project, a documentary on the life of Muhammad (pbuh),first aired on PBS on December 18, 2003. This prime-time, weeknight broadcast covered 97% of the United States. The two-hour program played without commercial interruption on 340 stations nationwide and was viewed simultaneously in Canada. \n\nPrior to broadcast, PBS designated our show a ‘Pick of the Month’ program and featured it on their community outreach website. \n\nPress coverage was extensive, with articles appearing in 40 newspapers nationwide. (See Reviews) The program was discussed nationally on MS-NBC and received a great deal of radio coverage, too.  In many cases, print, TV, and radio coverage outlined the story of \nMuhammad (PBUH) as part of their review, so that the actual exposure to Muhammad’s story far exceeded the PBS audience.  MS-NBC ran clips of the show nationally, one day prior to the broadcast.\n\nAn above average audience of six million viewers watched the program. Viewers\nresponded enthusiastically. In the last two weeks of December, the film’s PBS-supported website received a total of 630,000 page views by approximately 373,000 users— extremely heavy traffic \nfor a PBS program website.\n\nIn addition, PBS’s central offices in Washington DC received 5,000 messages in the first two days of broadcasting (See Viewers Views).  On average, these responses ran 40 to 1 positive. The program’s associated websites received thousands more messages.  Through the winter of 2003, the video and DVD versions of Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet were the two top-selling items \nfor PBS.
