You think Zoroastrianism is a pagan religion?
So you think everyone with F.L.E have ‘brain problems’, are narcissists and pathological and possible schizoids? That’s very insulting. Do you know anything about F.L.E in the first place?
So all F.L.E patients are also angry, over-sexed maniacs?
First of all, I have made a mistake and I apologize profusely - it is temporal lobe epilepsy that I was refering to, not FLE.
I think you maybe should read up on these disorders. No, I do not think all can be classified as such. I am saying that mohammed had the signs of this according to the hadiths. I have already given some background sites for people to look this up in the original post a few weeks ago.
some of the symptoms of that he had are in narcissism. You are lumping all he symptoms that mohammed had into epilepsy. Each are separate symptoms.
I do not believe that mohammed saw an angel, but I do believe he had some mental problems. Some are associated with cult leaders, others are associated with an over sex drive, others are associated with his hatred (especially of women, but also of anyone who didn’t agree with him), his treatment of people, his paranoia, etc.
In the 20th Century some noted cult leaders have been diagnosed with the same problems and since we will never have a brain scan of mohammed - they can only go by the hadiths and surahs.

The Truth About mohammed
And I have also read books on psychopathy, narcissism, and frontal lobe epilepsy.
The last two books do not touch on his being mentally perturbed, but go into his life.
I find it more insulting to think mohammed saw an angel - even Satan without finding out what really happened to mohammed. What mohammed describes, and others described as mohammed having - was a ‘fit’. In some cases it was even recorded that he falls down when having a ‘fit’. His nurse didn’t even want to deal with them and handed him back to his mother.
This is why I will not judge mohammed, or even other such ilk as Hitler, Stalin, etc. I have a harder problem with the sane peole who follow these types though. I have read on Stalin and Hitler (I read on Hitler several decades ago) and I do know that Hitler had some very troubling sexual problems.
I started reading about all of these mental disorders well after I read about islam. yes, I also took some college courses on abnormal psychology, but that was years ago. How easily people are willing to be brainwashed and follow out deadly orders while whitewashing their reasons and in the case of mohammed and islam, making those reasons into something holy.
epilepsy has many degrees just like any other problem. You should know that. But, it was obvious that mohammed had other problems with narcissism being very high on that list of problems. Do some reading on both of these, or better yet - all of the ones I mentioned, and you might be surprised what you find.
