Muhammad seemed likle a nice guy from my perspective. He just wanted people to believe in one god. The merchants in Mecca were greedy. They did not want the public to stop coming to Mecca. If they stopped coming to Mecca then the merchants would make less money. So the merchants drove Muhammad and his followers out of Mecca. In the Qu'ran it says if you are about to do something mean or bad say to yourself would Muhammad do this? It does not say kill anybody that isn't a Muslim.
People were intersted in whatt Muhammad has to say because he was a rich man who helped the poor, and most of the population was poor, so it would make sense why people wanted to hear what he said.
