I have read many respected books on Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other figures driven by ideology, power and the desire to kill. I strongly feel that Muhammed fits more closely with these than with religious/philosophical leaders who provided perceptual change such as Confucius, Buddha and the Christ figure. Muhammed, who led armies, ordered massacres and slept with prepubescent girls is the obvious progenitor of Isis, not of an ethical world of love, tolerance and inclusivity. Islam accords you these if you accept Allah-otherwise you receive indifference, cheating, loathing and death.
Religion is not about negatives, so prevalent in Islam, but positives.
