Living by the Point of My Spear

Muhammad’s racism against the Turks

Extract from Living by the Point of My Spear

Muhammad despised and hated Persia, the closest empire to Bedouins. Moreover, Muhammad described Turks  by saying to his Bedouins followers” Before the end of the world, you shall fight Turks, whose eyes are small and noses flattened and who have ugly reddish faces, like hammered shields” .

His description of Turks was degrading and aggressive and reflected Muhammad’s point of view of other nations.  The only nation Muhammad had respect for was his own.  He saw the men of other nations as enemies, or commodities to be enslaved.
