Episode 9 of The Man Eating Toaster takes a hard hitting look at the life of Muhammad from his early years in Mecca to his rise as the dominant political and military power of Arabia. This episode traces the unsettling encounter in the Cave of Hira, the violent revelations that followed, the raids, executions, and forced conversions in Medina, the conquest of Mecca, and the final blood steeped commands of Surah 9. With historical sources, early Islamic texts, and a clear theological lens, the episode presents a stark portrait of a man shaped by fear, domination, and spiritual deception who left behind an ideology that reshaped continents. Listener discretion is advised because nothing here is sugar coated.

The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained.
