While you have to be impressed with his results, that doesn't mean that you have to respect what came from these results.
Honestly, how does one camel jockey overthrow larges treks of the Byzantine Empire and form a mass of followers that has conquered a good 20% of the globe or so? Yeah, it's impressive. And piss be upon him.

No kidding. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, all "impressive". Buddha and Christ have billions of followers too, without the genocide. Impressive is not a very useful measure, all the people listed here are impressive, but hardly birds of a feather.
