Love to help you but I do not that much about Fairty Tales. I think you can put in a lot of opinions. That works here lots of opinions
Actually, there is quite a bit about mohammed.
His father’s name was Abdallah (the servant of allah - gee, Abd’allah’ which proves that the pagan religion had allah as one of its gods!). And his father died before he was born.
There is some dispute if his father died 4 years before his birth (which means mohammed was illegitimate), or if he died about 6 months before he was born.
His mother was without a husband and she handed mohammed off as a baby to a wet nurse. The wet nurse handed him back because he had ‘fits’. Then when mohammed was about 4-5 years old his mother died. The ultimate abandonment to a young child.
His uncle took care of him and spoiled him. He went on caravans (which he learned that women and children went along on those caravans and they were not heavily armed which served him later when he started raiding them for slaves and loot after he thought up islam).
When he was a young man he married an older woman, Khadijah, (probably a mommy figure) who was wealthy, 15 years older, and mohammed didn’t have to work anymore. He was known to wander to caves to do whatever. (probably inhaled too many cave gases and that is when he saw his devil that Khadijah tried to ease his fears by saying it was an angel.)
Oh, by the way - mohammed was illiterate and was a pagan. He didn’t start his murdering, enslaving, stealing, torture and assasination until after he started islam and that was when he was well past 40. He probably already had no problems with deception since he would tell them and made out like allah was the great deceiver and commanded his followers to lie when convenient too.
Many books go into his early life.

His so called peaceful time in Mecca, after he started islam, wasn’t always that peaceful. He was known to be a pill to people and the elders would go to mohammed’s uncle to ask him to stop his antics.
**Ishaq:119 “'Abu Tabib, your nephew Muhammad has cursed our gods [at this point he had cursed all of them, including Allah], insulted our religion [more correctly, insulted them by trying to steal their religion], mocked our way of life and accused our forefathers of error. Either you stop him or let us get to him. For you, like us, are in opposition to him. He gave them a conciliatory reply. They returned a second time and said, ‘We have asked you to put a stop to your nephew’s activities but you have not done so. By Allah, we cannot endure having our fathers reviled and our customs mocked.’ Muhammad thought that his uncle had the idea of abandoning and betraying him, and that he was going to lose his support. The Apostle broke into tears.”
Tabari VI:93 “The Quraysh went to Abu Talib and said, ‘Your nephew [Muhammad] has reviled our gods, denounced our religion, derided our traditional values, and told us that our forefathers were misguided [and burning in hell]. Either curb his attacks on us or give us a free hand to deal with him, for you are as opposed to him as we are.’ They said, ‘We asked you to forbid your nephew from attacking us, but you did nothing. By Allah, we can no longer endure this vilification of our forefathers, this derision of our traditional values, and this abuse of our gods.’ This breach and enmity with his tribe weighed heavily on Talib. ‘Abu Talib, you are our elder and our chief, so give us justice against your nephew and order him to desist from reviling our gods, and we will leave him to his god.’”
Tabari VI:95 “Abu Talib sent for Muhammad. ‘Nephew, here are the shaykhs and nobles of your tribe. They have asked for justice against you. You should desist from reviling their gods and they will leave you to your god.’”
Tabari VI:96 “Abu Talib said to Muhammad, ‘Nephew, how is it that your tribe is complaining of you and claiming that you are reviling their gods and saying this, that, and the other?’ The Messenger said, 'I want them to utter one saying. If they say it, the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay the jizyah [submission tax] to them.”**
So you see there is quite a bit about mohammed. And the book I mentioned above, Understanding muhammad, A Psychobiography, used islam’s own texts as sources to discover that mohammed probably had things like narcissism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, paranoia, and temporal lobe epilepsy. Most of these would explain his visions, his behavior - especially his oversexed behavior, and other things as well. If he were born today he could be medicated for some of the problems.

I will go into another post about his narcissism.
