Muhammad was a Heretic against Islam? Blasphemy!

Israel’s newspaper Haaretz is reporting that the supreme Mufti of Syria has declared that Islam must protect Jews. He is quoted as saying:

"If the Prophet Mohammed had asked me to deem Christians or Jews heretics, I would have deemed Mohammed himself a heretic."

He also said that Islam was a religion of peace:

"If Mohammed had commanded us to kill people, I would have told him he was not a prophet."

This mufti, Ahamd Badruddin Hassoun, has long been proclaiming that Syria is a country of religious freedom. Read the US State Department‘s views on freedom in Syria.
