“Muhammad was a manic-depressive who managed to transform his psychological problems into one of the world’s most influential traditions. His early life in Medina could be described as a depressive phase when he immersed in contemplative, almost mystical reflection and encouraged respect, openness, and tolerance; his time after escaping to Mecca as the manic counterpart when he set the political stage for warfare, conquering, and intolerance.”
