The best vehicle for this in the media would be a historic film about the religions founder. I'm not talking about an Islamic influenced film like the 1976 ode to Islam "The Message". But rather, I would like to see, a historically true depiction based on the Hadith (a collection of narratives dealing with the life and deeds of the "prophet") and the Sira (Muhammad's recorded biography). Great care would have to be taken not to vary from the actual recorded history. Anything less would lead to Muslim outcry. But representing the true story should lead to Muslim praise, no? No, probably not, as the actual story is one that tells of a man that endorsed wholesale declaration of war on innocent peoples, rape, slavery, subjugation, forced conversion, and pedophilia.
As of late I have taken up telling the many stories I have accumulated in my little creative mind into screenplays. Currently I have four that I am working on. I don't so much have an ambition to ever write a made into movie script. I just like to find creative outlets for my musings. After educating myself on the formatting of such endeavor I found it really fit my abilities. Therefore I'd like to whip out a couple of scenes for our readers indicative of how I see the telling of the Muhammad story on the big screen. Please forgive any amateur mistakes as I have just started into this new expression. And, by all means, if you are some hootie tootie Hollywood director or producer (like we'd ever see one of those on a conservative blog) and you like the idea for the movie, and like the scenes given...feel free to E-Mail me.
Muhammad - The Making of a Prophet
Part One - Young Muhammad
FADE IN:
EXT. CAMEL PEN AT MECCA - BLAZING SUN OF DESERT DAY
MUHAMMAD, age 7, moves among several mangy looking camels pushing their droppings to the outer edges of the rope pen with a crude broom made of desert materials. The year is 577 A.D. His UNCLE, Abu Talib, strides over from off camera and kicks dirt mixed with camel dung back in at the young prophet.
UNCLE
Muhammad, you rebellious imp,
I told you to be finished with this
hours ago. We must have these
camels brushed down and well
watered before the buyers arrive
from Medina. They have traveled a
great distance Southward to
purchase our animals.

MUHAMMAD
Yes, I know uncle. I apologize most
profusely. I was lost in thought
about the festivities tonight.

Muhammad increases the pace of his sweeping to a frantic rate. After finishing the cleaning of the pen he retrieves a bucket with soapy water and a hair brush from beside the pen.
MUHAMMAD (CONT’D)
(muttering to himself)
Someday, uncle, you will be the one
brushing my camels.
(muttering to himself)
Someday, uncle, you will be the one
brushing my camels.
INT. LARGE MULTI-COLORED TENT - NIGHT FESTIVITY
There are women twirling about in rainbow hued skirts and halter tops to rhythmic drum beating. At the front of the tent is an altar with several pagan type idols sitting on it. The men are sitting around the perimeter of the tent in a circle drinking and watching the women dance. Muhammad’s friends ABBAS and MURAD sit beside him.
ABBAS
So, your uncle sold every last one
of those camels?
So, your uncle sold every last one
of those camels?
MUHAMMAD
Yes, only because I made those flea
bags look like choice stock. I grow
weary of my uncle. He never shares
the profits of the business. He
only bestows on me the work.

The revelry grows to a climactic fervor. Two men close to the boys bring forth an Arabic looking bong and begin to smoke. The thick smoke clouds Muhammad’s vision...
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. CAMEL PEN AT MECCA - BLAZING SUN OF DESERT DAY
Muhammad is now 25 years old. He leans against one of the pen rails and talks with KHADIJA, a well to do widow of appreciably more years than the prophet.
MUHAMMAD
It is this that I am telling you
woman. I have worked since my
mother’s death for my uncle. I have
no standing with the social
climbers of Mecca. Were I to have
the money I would travel afar and
make your trading business the most
successful of the land.

Khadija looks thoughtful as she chews her bottom lip.
KHADIJA
So, saying I believe this, what I
would have to ask is whether you
are planning to have us marry for
the sole purpose of making yourself
rich. I am already more than
comfortable Muhammad. It is a man’s
warmth at night that I desire. Why,
exactly, have you courted me so
enthusiastically these last few
months?

Muhammad feigns indignation as he turns his back on her.
MUHAMMAD

You know that I love you. I am only
thinking of how to make you truly

EXT. OUTSIDE MUHAMMAD’S TENT - COLD DESERT NIGHT
Muhammad barrels up to the doorway of his tent on a beautiful white steed. His horse sprays the front of the tent with sand and loose rock as he yanks it to a halt and leaps off.
MUHAMMAD
(Excitedly)
Khadija! Come quickly! I have
wonderful news.
Khadija opens the flap of the tent and steps out. She now is slightly bent with age and not bearing her fifty five yearswell.

End of Part One
This abbreviated part gives us some of the history of Muhammad up until he has his "revelation" that he is to be the true "prophet of God". It was necessary so that we can see some of the influences and feelings of inadequacy that he suffered as a boy. Being an orphan and not very well to do one can easily speculate that Muhammad's life was very difficult as a child and probably filled with envy and distrust of the affluent Meccans around him. Although his uncle had some standing in the community Muhammad was a mere hired hand in a camel herding business who could not rise above his lowly station in life until he married a well off widow. It is commonly thought that he encountered the Jewish religion and probably early Christian cultists as he traveled building up her trading business.
After about fifteen years of this Muhammad had amassed enough fortune to afford him leisure time. Around age forty he had taken off on a "contemplation" and returned telling his wife that the angel Gabriel had given him God's message to prophet. Thus begins the saga of Islam. Muhammad spent thirteen years in Mecca trying to convert its polytheistic populace to his new religion. At first the Meccans were tolerant of him and his hundred or so followers. But eventually Muhammad made moves to verbally abuse the pagan religions in Mecca. Many cities in that era had Kaabas (Cube like structures with idols and such inside) at their centers which were magnets of pagan worship during certain months. Mecca was one of these cities. Its Kaabas held various idols and a piece of black meteorite which is still there today. Muhammad's own tribe worshiped a pagan moon God called "Allah". Mecca was well known in those times to be a place of religious tolerance. Not like today where non-Muslims are denied entry.
At one point the discource driven by Muhammad between the Meccans and his followers grew so disruptive that he actually agreed to fully recognize the local gods in addition to Allah. This thrilled the Meccans as they were a polytheistic group to begin with. But it did not sit well with the followers of Muhammad and as he saw his followers start to stray he made an incredulous move to resecure his minions. In a dramatic stroke he proclaimed that Satan had possessed him and spoke blasphemy through the prophet. This event became known as "The Satanic Verses".
Things turned pretty crappy after that. The Meccans heaped scorn down on Muhammad. They made fun of his humble beginnings and his now claim to be prophet of the one true God. The muslim followers of Muhammad began to inflict violence on the citizenry. And as his final, stupid act Muhammad signed a war treaty with the Medinans (a city far North of Mecca) against the city of Mecca. The Meccans had enough. They decided to capture Muhammad and kill him. By sure luck and trickery he escaped capture and fled to Medina. This is what has now become the holy trek repeated by Muslims known as the Hijra.
For the sake of expediancy I am going to skip forward quickly with just narrative of what transpires up to the next part of our screenplay. In Medina Muhammad turns ruthless and aims his minions at the heart of those who'd rejected him, the Meccans. He orders attacks on Meccan caravans during their holy months. Knowing that Mecca relied heavily on the trade and tourism that pilgrimages to their Kaabal brought during these months, he surely meant to cripple the city as much as possible. These attacks funded both the coffers of Muhammad and brought him new converts. By conveniently receiving instructions from Allah Muhammad now turned his before peaceful religion, that borrowed a great deal from Christian and Jewish theology, into a machine of plunder and murder. It was now divined permissible to murder, rape, and enslave for the glory of Allah. Many in Medina were predisposed to all these things and the strength of Muhammad's numbers grew exponentially. Finally the Meccans, who hadn't been pursuing Muhammad in Medina by the way, had enough of this plundering and killing. They sent out the Meccan army to protect their caravans. Muhammad sent his zealots to meet them in the Battle of Badr.
After defeating the Meccans at the Battle of Badr Muhammad set out to divide and conquer the three Jewish tribes of Medina. At first he decieved them by saying that Christians, Jews, and Muslims could all find the path to salvation through their own faiths. It was at this time that he actually had his own people bowing in the direction of Jerusalem. This gave him some in roads to the Jewish communities. After amassing enough power in those communities Muhammad then used trumped up charges to put his followers onto the Jews. The first tribe was driven from their property on the excuse that one of them had made harassing statements to a Muslim woman. The second tribe was pushed out after Muhammad ordered his followers to kill several of their prominent citizens. Then, in an act totally defied by logic, he convinced his band (who I suspect needed little encouragement to loot and plunder at this stage) that the Jewish tribe was plotting to kill the prophet. Only this time Muhammad declared that Allah had given him the revelation that the prophet was to keep all the plunder. Wonder what those early Muslims thought of being cheated out of their booty by an act of God eh?
Now we arrive at the jumping point for the next part of our script. The massacre of the Banu Quyrayza tribe of Jews at Medina:
Muhammad nods and strides from the doorway, across the courtyard, and grabs the man held tightly by his young bride, RAYHANA.
Muhammad flings the young man out into the courtyard where the rest of the Jewish men are starting to be gathered by the Muslims. Rayhana tries to go to her husband but Muhammad
grabs her about the waist and pulls her back to him.
The men are unceremoniously herded out and Muhammad drags the girl kicking and screaming back across the courtyard and through the doorway he had stood in shortly before. He kicks
the door shut.
INT. SMALL JEWISH HOME - CANDLE LIT
Muhammad has Rayhana pinned with her back against the dining table in the center of the room. He is wild eyed with drink and lust. Her blouse is torn off one shoulder and there is blood at the corner of her mouth.
Rayhana tries to wiggle away which just seems to make her attacker more intent.
Muhammad punches her in the face, hard. Then he grabs her by the hair and uses it to spin her around violently. He slams her head and upper body onto the table bending her over.
CUT TO:
EXT. COUNTRYSIDE BEYOND MEDINA - THE DEATH DITCH - DARK
Fires light up the night sky along the death ditch. Rayhana’s husband is being bound. The Muslim handling him kicks the back of his knees forcing him to kneel. He grabs the young
man’s hair and forces his head to bow.

Muhammad - The Making of a Prophet
Part Two - Massacre the Jews
There is only about fifteen or twenty Jewish men and boys left in the settlement. The Muslims are drinking from large jugs of looted wine and chasing some of the women around. Most of the men are clinging to their wives and children. Muhammad is framed in the open doorway of one of the houses. He has a jug in his hand as well and is eying a young Jewish woman with long cascades of dark hair as she holds tightly to her husband. A MESSENGER on horseback trots through the gates.FADE IN:
EXT. GATES LEADING INTO JEWISH SETTLEMENT AT MEDINA - DAY
Hundreds of Muslim warriors gather round at the gates of a Jewish settlement on the outskirts of Medina. Muhammad sits atop a white stallion at the front of his small army. He looks to his left where HAMZA, one of his strongest men, is holding his sword at his side.
HAMZA
(without hesitation)
As you command, Allah’s apostle, so
shall it be done!
Hamza pulls his reins hard to the left and moves back in the ranks. WOOD CREAKING comes from behind the gate and two Muslim men holding swords in their hands push the gates apart. Muhammad makes a gesture over his head and the first two lines of his army begins to follow him into the courtyard.
INT. SETTLEMENT COURTYARD
Inside the settlement walls is a large courtyard with a central well. Houses circle the courtyard with small walking paths leading in between to outer avenues. There are probably five hundred homes here. Already there is about fifty Muslims on foot holding prisoners of various ages. As Muhammad enters one pulls a man from his kneeling position and brings him to the prophet. The
man raises his head to look up at Muhammad on the horse. This is the settlement leader, EPHRAIM.
Muhammad jerks in anger.
Ephraim looks up and boldly stares the prophet in the eye.

Muhammad has Rayhana pinned with her back against the dining table in the center of the room. He is wild eyed with drink and lust. Her blouse is torn off one shoulder and there is blood at the corner of her mouth.
RAYHANA
You said no harm would come to us.
You said no harm would come to us.
MUHAMMAD
And none shall, my dear, as soon as
you stop fighting. You should feel
privileged. Allah has chosen you to
please his prophet.

RAYHANA
But I am married. You sent my
husband out just a short time ago.
Are you not a man of God?

Rayhana tries to wiggle away which just seems to make her attacker more intent.
MUHAMMAD
(evilly)
Your husband is dead bitch! You are
a widow. And as such I take you as
my concubine according to the law
of Allah!

Muhammad punches her in the face, hard. Then he grabs her by the hair and uses it to spin her around violently. He slams her head and upper body onto the table bending her over.
CUT TO:
EXT. COUNTRYSIDE BEYOND MEDINA - THE DEATH DITCH - DARK
Fires light up the night sky along the death ditch. Rayhana’s husband is being bound. The Muslim handling him kicks the back of his knees forcing him to kneel. He grabs the young
man’s hair and forces his head to bow.

Muhammad reaches down and grabs hold of Rayhana’s skirts. He tears them up over her head as she whimpers in agony.
CUT TO:
EXT. COUNTRYSIDE BEYOND MEDINA - THE DEATH DITCH - DARK
The Muslim draws his long curved blade and raises it skyward.

Muhammad unfastens his pants with one hand as he holds Rayhana down on the table with his other arm across the back of her neck.
CUT TO:
EXT. COUNTRYSIDE BEYOND MEDINA - THE DEATH DITCH - DARK
The Muslim warrior slams the blade downward cleaving through flesh and bone. His victim’s head rolls into the ditch.

Muhammad rams himself deep inside Rayhana. We hear her SCREAMS.

End of Part Two
Now, I am sure, there are those of you who want to discount this part of the story. Yes, I have portrayed it in my own words. But, the story is told of how Muhammad "enjoyed the pleasures" or more simply put, raped, Rayhana on the very night that he had her husband beheaded. You can find this in Ishaq 693. The saddest part to this story was told by one of the participants. Muhammad had a child bride at this point in his life. Her name was Aisha. She would have been about twelve when the slaughter of the Jews took place. She was just six years old when married to Muhammad. But, lucky her, he had to put off consumating the marriage for three years while he made a pilgrimage. So, Aisha didn't become a full fledged woman until she was nine. I was going to write a part about that also. But in all honesty after writing the rape scene of Rayhana I just didn't have the stomach for it.
At least one woman was beheaded in the slaughter of the Jews episode as well. We know this because Aisha tells us about it in Ibn Ishaq 691. The woman lost her mind after witnessing the carnage of her family being slaughtered. Little Aisha had become so numb to the barbarism that she wrote about the woman's decapitation and wondered:
"I shall never forget my wonder at her good spirits and her loud laughter when all the while she knew that she would be killed."
I have not written this piece merely to bad mouth Muhammad. I have written it in hopes of waking some folks to the reality that is Islam and of its roots. To quote a very good site for Islamic research for westerners The Religion of Peace.com:
That sound at all familiar to you? The time is now to start sharing your knowledge. Do not let creeping Sharia use the PC of your country to conquer all.

The Origin of Islamic Imperialism
The tribes around the Muslims began to convert to Islam out of self-preservation. Those that didn’t were gradually defeated in battle in a pattern that became the blueprint for the successful establishment of Islam as a world religion. Typically, the enemy’s trust would be gained by non-intrusive measures in which the Muslims would insert themselves into the foreign community while professing their respect for local traditions and political structures. As they began to gain power, however, they would divide loyalties and exercise violence to acquire local hegemony.
