“Muhammad was a political leader and a religious leader at the same time. But he did not have the arrogance of the clergy, also did not have a troops like the Tsars. He had no armies, no great palace, no bodyguards or fixed income. Only Muhammad can say that he ruled by the power of God because he could hold the sovereignty without having its tools and without having its supporters.”

– Bosworth-Smith, American Bishop
(From his book: Mohammed and Mohammedanism)
