What did Ghandi say about the last prophet of Islam, Muhammad?
"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind ... I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life."

And you believe Ghandi is a credible expert on the history and theology of Islam?

I'm sure Ghandi is just as credible as any of us.

The fact that he last sentence in this quote . . .
Is pretty indicative of being a credible source.When I closed the 2nd volume (of the prophet's biography) . . ."Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness ... give me truth."

I'm still waiting for someone to explain why the OP isn't a fallacious appeal to authority.

It seems you're saying the OP has no point. One wonders, then, what compelled you to start this topic.

Re: What did Ghandi say about the last prophet of Islam, Muhammad?
We could talk about Ghandi, if you like. I wouldn't mind that. Personally, I'm surprised at the sentiment about him I'm getting off of you, and I would like to hear your thoughts about him.
