Re-blogged from Joel’s Trumpet

The following article is the first in a series featured on the Roman Catholic site Catholic Online (www.catholic.com). I have found all of Mr. Greenwell’s articles to be trenchant, compassionate and yet filled with conviction.

We have seen in our prior series entitled “The Heart’s Witness Against Muhammad” how, in his moral fruits, Muhammad can be identified as a false prophet. We will see in this series entitled “The Antichrist in Muhammad” how, in his doctrinal fruits, Muhammad can also be identified as a false prophet twice over. This series is nothing less than an effort to be responsive to the Lord’s warnings regarding false prophets..

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) – In our earlier series on Muhammad entitled “The Heart’s Witness Against Muhammad,” we looked at Muhammad’s claim to be a prophet of God from the perspective of his claim to be the perfect exemplar of humanity, al-insan al-kamil, the best of all mankind, khair ul-bashar, and the perfect model of conduct, uswa hasana.

Muhammad’s acts as contained in the earliest Muslim biographies of Muhammad were then compared to the natural moral law, a universal law of morality that binds all men, including supposed prophets. It was quite readily seen that the claim–supposedly to have been revealed–that Muhammad was the best of all mankind is unsupportable by reason. Reason alone should tell you that Muhammad’s claims–and his supposed revelations in the Qur’an–are not reasonably trustworthy.

Indeed, I think we can reasonably take any Catholic saint at random, compare his or her life to Muhammad, and Muhammad would, in each and every instance, lose the test. Muhammad is morally inferior to any Catholic saint, and, what is more, morally inferior even to any reasonably pious and imperfect Catholic who has not yet escaped the tyranny of venial sins or lesser imperfections.
