Question: Are there any good books that provide a biography about Mohammed?
not necessarily from a religious perspective but fairly secular. what sort of bloke was he, did he have kids, what was his family like. was he a good or bad person
Answer: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074896/
This is a movie called "The Message", which I found to be very good. I showed it to my "Comparative Cultures" high school class and they enjoyed it a lot. I heard a lot of comments about how it was like "The Ten Commandments" or "Ben Hur", and presented a religious history in an exciting way. It's interesting how you never see the character of Mohammed, because it's not correct to show a physical representation of him. The camera shoots from his viewpoint, or shows his shadow while he is off-screen. I heard that an identical movie was made for the Arab audience with well-known Arab stars.
