An Apology for Mohammed - And the Koran #222096

IT may be truly affirmed that of all known legislators and conquerors, not one can be named, the history of whose life has been written with greater authenticity and fuller detail, than that of Mohammed. In fact, strip his biography of the prodigies which Asiatic writers have ever affected, and What remains may confidently defy incredulity itself. At the period of Mohammed's birth a great part of Arabia was under a foreign yoke; all the northern portion of Arabia Petraea, as well as Syria, Palestine and Egypt.
