What Do You Call the Founder of Islam?

I was recently thinking: What’s a succinct secular term for the founder of Islam? You can’t just call him “Muhammad” because there’s like a jillion people named that now so one can’t be sure you’re referring to the founder of Islam Muhammad. And I’m not going to call him “The Prophet Muhammad” because I don’t think he’s a prophet. And I’m not going to put (pbuh) after his name because I don’t care if peace is on him (he’s dead).

Here’s my idea: Muhammad Prime. Makes sense since he’s the reason there are so many people are named Muhammad today. Also, it’s not insulting to Islam; in fact, it sounds kind of cool because it makes you think of Optimus Prime. I guess Muhammadtron would also be kind of cool, but it makes less sense and implies he’s a villain.

Anyway, just my idea.

  1. Mohammad came home one day and one of his wives was packing her clothes.
    He said “You can’t leave me! I paid seven camels for you. Plus three goats!”
    She said “I don’t care. I think you are a pedophile.”
    Pedophile! ? That’s a pretty big word for an eight year old!

  4. I have never been comfortable citing Wikipedia as a source, but since you did, I suppose it is OK.

    You need to look under “Aisha”, the child’s name.

    To quote Wikipedia:
    “Traditional sources state that Aisha was married to Muhammad at the age of six, but she stayed in her parents’ home until the age of nine, when the marriage was consummated with Muhammad, then 53, in Medina;[8][9][10] with the exception of al-Tabari who records that she was ten years old.[11]”

    To paraphrase Truman: I don’t have to lie in order to insult Islam, I just tell the truth and they think it is an insult.

    In the future when I tell the story, I will correct the age to nine.
