Yes, howevr he was violent because they were persecuting him for his Religion.
There are books on him if you’d like to discuss the issue more.
As far as his followers being evil, well my best friend is Muslim and she is more giving than anyone I know. Her whole family. Due to these stereotypes (not entirely your fault, all of ours as we keep them going) I was scared of even meeting her husband (an Arab man, oh my, the shock, lord forbid) he turned out respectful, nice, sits next to his wife she doesn’t have to follow behind him when they walk, or none of that stuff.
Go figure this one out she just started covering with her head scarf too! wow the shock. She is 26 years old, married, and with 4 beautiful children. She has committed mistakes even left her religion for a while when she was younger, however on her trip to her homelaND SHE DIDNT DIE, NOR DID HER FATHER KILL HER, NOR HER HUSBAND.
She is happy where she is at now in her life.
That is one example I know a few other muslims, and they are all alive, nice, and great people.
My point is NOT everyone is how we imagine them. Just like not all Jehovah witness are only always talking about god, not all jehovah witnesses joke at the catholic religion, not all catholic priests are “weird”, not all mormons are strange, not all muslims are terrorists.
