Wouldn't the middle east be a much happier and prosperous place if Mohamed had just kept his mouth shut?

Probably. He was not a peaceful prophet. Even muslims will admit that.

You need to get out more and attend school. It's Christians who caused the problems in the Middle East.

Also, had Mohammed(pbuh) not come to put an end to Christendom. You would still be living under medieval Church rule, burning witches and jailing Jews.

The world would be a happier and more prosperous place if all religions went the way of the dodo.

funny, cause from what I know it's because of Muhammad people of Arabia (joined by others later) made a great civilization when the rest were living in dark ages .until those who just recently been dark ages came and messed things up with their barbaric mentality and greed .

Ladies and Gentlemen Believe it or not But Mohamed was a prophet of God, Now what people have done to his teaching and his name over the centuries is really not really his fault.................. For people have made changes to the Holy Koran just like they have done to the Holy Bible to suit their needs and they don't always think of God or Mohamed while they make those changes........ For what most of them were thinking was how to empower themselves..............................
