Mo Had Epilepsy
According to Abbas Sadeghian, a veteran neuropsychologist who was raised a Muslim in Tehran, Mohammad suffered from epileptic seizures. Islam's prophet is documented to have displayed many of the symptoms of "complex partial seizures," including:
- excessive sweating and light trembling
- olfactory, auditory, and visual hallucinations
- epigastric sensations (bad taste)
- excessive perspiration
- hyper-religiosity
Dr. Sadeghian's findings are documented in his book Sword & Seizure.
This probably does not explain Mohammad's pathological bloodthirstiness, delusions of grandeur, or lust for prepubescent girls, but it's a start toward trying to understand the frenetic cult he left behind.
On a tip from Bill V.

"Excessive sweating" AND "excessive persperation"? Was this report put together by the "Department of Redundancy Board"?

So, how long before they declare a fatwa against him for "speaking against the prophet"?
