Both have devoted followers. Both have serious opposition from enemies who want them dead. Both are founders of world religions. How do they respond to these enemies?

If you are Muhammad, you raise an army of ten thousand to defend your city of Medina, fight your enemies, sacrifice the lives of your followers, and then occupy Mecca, the city of your enemies. You then teach a philosophy of  Jihad, or holy war, giving those you conquer the options of conversion, slavery, dhimmi status [second class with limited rights] or death.

If you are Jesus, you tell your enemies, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).

If you are Jesus, when your enemies arrange for a small army to arrest you, and they tell you they are seeking Jesus of Nazareth, you protect your disciples and say, “Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way” (John 18:7-8).

If you are Jesus, you don’t order your followers to fight a carnal battle: “My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence” (John 18:36).

If you are Muhammad, when you die, you are buried in your tomb in Medina, and your body slowly decays away.

If you are Jesus, neither death nor the tomb can hold you. The angel told the women at the tomb, “Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” (Matthew 28:5-6).
