How would he deal with Muslims like Osama Bin Ladin, Ahmadinejad, Muhammad Karzi, the many Islamic doctors in our hospitals, our friend Farad1, the Saudi Royal Family, and to the average men and women who comprise almost 2 billion of the Earth's population?
Christians often ask me, "What would Jesus do?" So I would also like to know what Muhammad (PBUH) would SAY? To Muslims and those of us who are not.

The prophet of Allah if he were to come to see the condition of specifically the muslims............
The vast majority of us would most likely be labeled as munafiqeen (hypocrites) not to mention being labeled as kafireen (disbelievers). I don't think all of us will fall into that category, but I fear that a majority of us muslims would. He would be extremely hurt and angry with us. I don't think he would be astonished or surprised by our condition because it is in the hadith about our present state. One main thing that he would be angry with us about is the cause of our plight as muslims. The cause is our undying love for the life of this world that has effectively blinded us from the concern of the life hereafter. When I say life of this world I mean that it has become more important to the muslims to satisfy our desires, than it is to obey Allah's commands. I think he would be greatly pained to find that all the struggle that he and his sahabah went throguh to ensure that Islam would survive past his death, has been thrown to the wayside by us.
For the non-muslims, such as yourself who are genuinely interested in the acquisition of knowledge, and seeking of the truth through the use of logic and rationale, he would be a great source of knowledge. He would not talk you to death, like we muslims do today, he would live how he is suggesting you to live. You would find help with him. You would find that he is only interested in the welfare of all mankind. One thing about the prophet is that he not only was interested in the muslims and their well-being, he was interested in the well-being of the entire mankind. He always begged Allah to guide each and every human being to the truth and a way that is straight, despite knowledge that not all people would follow that way.
He would not present a new set of laws but merely enforce the ones that are already established. A real muslim state would most likely be formed and there the non-muslims would see with their own eyes the treatment they would receive. Even his enemies would respect him even if they hated him. And indeed, if he were to come back here at this time, he would surely be targeted for assassination.
