I came across this the other day,
with regard to the feelings and treatment towards Muhammad.   I thought it was important.

I think it is important for muslims to be careful to discern whether their actual worship is for Muhammad... for the man they think he was... worship for the man more than for the Creator.

asalaam and wishing blessings,

And with no disrespect intended from me either, I would say the same about the central premise of Christianity.

I will agree with you about one thing though:

I've said before that by placing collections of hadith on the same bookshelf beside the Quran (literally or figuratively), and by treating both sources as religious dogma, most Muslims commit shirk, whether they call it that or not.  Muhammad never intended his own commands to be preserved for all time or to apply to all generations of Muslims in the same way that Allah's words do.
