I don't know exactly where you got your information, but most of what you posted here is not consistent with what most Sunni Muslims believe in. Firstly, it was not written by 9 enemies nor was it written by man. It is the word of God. Secondly, Muslims do not believe that all religious people will make it into heaven. Only those that proclaim and have firm belief that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet will enter paradise.
Questions for all Muslims

Not all Muslims believe this, but I know that almost all Sunni Muslims believe this and about 90% of Muslims are Sunni.
The acceptance of Muhammad being the last prophet is a necessity because it is the basis of Islam and distinguishes Muslims from other religions. The belief in one God is practiced by many religions. Therefore, it is necessary to believe in one God, but that is not the only criteria because it would mean that people of other religions and beliefs would be able to enter heaven. I one that must be noted is that a firm belief in both one God and Muhammad being the final prophet are necessary. In that manner, a person with a firm belief will ideally follow the teachings of Muhammad as closely as possible.

Listen, you just said, "Muslims do not believe that all religious people will make it into heaven", but now you are claiming that not all muslims believe this and that you know that almost all Sunni Muslims believe this and that 90% of muslims are Sunni. Do you see anything wrong with your two statements?
But why should I have to accept this man? I know it distinguishes muslims from other religions, but you and I both know that many muslims practically hold the man as a deity. You can draw a picture of jesus and make fun of him and few muslims will take notice. Paint a picture of Muhammad and a person might be riddled with bullets or become a victim of a firebomb.
If I am to focus on GOD ALONE why the need to accept the prophet?
No, the belief in one "god" is practiced by many religions. There is a difference between the two.
So, in order to differentiate, tack on this other guy and accept him?
Listen, I could see "accept the teachings of Muhammad because his teachings are what I taught him etc", but why the emphasis on him being the last prophet and accepting him?

Basically, what I am trying to say is that most Muslims believe that only Muslims will be allowed to enter heaven.
It is wrong to deify Muahmmad. He was not a God, he was just a human being like the rest of us. That being said, he is the most important person in the history of Islam. He is the most beloved person in the eyes of God. He went through many difficulties and sacrifices to spread the word of God. All Muslims should have the utmost love and respect for him. But people should not worship him. Associating anybody with Allah automatically makes a person a nonbeliever.
I don't understand what you are saying here. Can you please explain.
He is not just any other guy.
Because that opens the door for others to claim that they are prophets. Muhammad was the last prophet and his message should be accepted until the day of judgment.

OK, just as long as you saw what I saw...
(emphasis mine)
The most beloved person in the eyes of God? Why? What did Jesus do to NOT earn this form of favortism?
But can't the same be said for all of the "prophets"?
But he IS being associated with Allah. Again, you and I both know that devotion to Muhammad has caused many riffs in the muslim community. You are saying all muslims should have respect for him, but you and I both know, that the other prophets get little to no respect. Again, you make a drawing of Jesus and few muslims will speak out. You make a drawing of Muhammad and you might get your head sawed from your body with a rusty one.
Stockton explained it, and I can go into a bit more detail. Muslims do not believe in the worship of Jabulon, Krsna, or any deity that may be worshipped in a monotheistic manner EXCEPT when it comes to the God of jews and christians.
Why not?
But does it also open the doors for religious zealots who kill in the name of Allah and his prophet? Does it also create a riff in the muslim community? So, in order to stop people from claiming to be prophets, one should believe that he was the last one. Now, my question to you is how has that belief solved anything? You still have muslim scholars and self professed scholars who are STILL at each others throats and and odds and ends over the words in the Quran. You still have THOUSANDS of people running around claiming to be prophets. Again, how is this beliefe changing anything?
Again, WHY should one accept muhammad? Why can I not just accept Allah and what he has to say? Why does my salvation and eternal placement depend on a man?

Got one more day of school, tryin to finalize this internship, gettin ready for my vacation (which isn't a vacation at all but catch up time), tryin to track down a guitarist so I can finish the rest of this album. Pretty much the same thing you are doing. Probably give or take a few hours of sleep, but pretty much the same thing.
What type of production do you usually spit over?
What type of production do you usually spit over?
see i think thats part of the problem. i have a lot of lyrical shit ready to put out and would love to get on more east coast soundin beats, but all the production ive been getting are slaps/club shit. i love both sounds, but the producers who hook me up for free mainly focus on the club shit, and that sound really leaves no room for the content im tryna put out
then theres the issue of features. if im doin a track wit ryda or those hyphy heads, i cant really bust out some political commentary, so ive been more hestitant about fuckin wit bay artists lately too
i still fuck wit a diverse array of sounds, but my producers are best at making that stuff so its mostly that. rob lo might hook me up wit some deeper soundin shit tho.
