It's not edgy. They literally believed him to be the Sword of Allah. They couldn't explain his victories in any other way. Also ''Allah'' is literally the Arabic word for ''God''. We Muslims worship the same Abrahamic God the Christians and Jews do.

The hadiths were written 200 years after Muhammad's (PBUH) death. Many Qu'ranists and Islamic scholars say that the prophet married Aisha when she was 16. The age when Muhammad married Aisha doesn't bother me that much though. Under teen marriage was something, that was accepted in all cultures. Even the West. The age of consent in America, was 12 in 1900, and even to this day. Many Western countries have lower ages of Consent than most Islamic countries.

I wouldn't doubt you boys know about Napoleon, so here are some others:

>Bertrand du Guesclin
Almost single-handedly defeated all British forces in the mainland once in the Hundred Years' War.

>Joan of Arc
More of a symbol than anything, people do dismiss though that she had the foresight to bet the outcome of battles on pitting everything down to artillery, which heralded the victories of Patay, Muret and Castillon.

>Villars
Fought against Malborough and the Prince of Savoy, and yet managed to make the war of the Spanish succession a stalemate between France and the coalition of all other European powers.

>Maurice de Saxe
Man who won us the war of the austrian succession.

>Davout, Lannes, Masséna, Murat
Standard Napoleonic generals.

>Franchet d'Espérey
Pretty dope WWI General that won the Balkan front for the Entente.

Most of the top generals of WW1 and Balkan wars share a spot. Defeated the Turks, which wasn't too impressive with the allies we had. But defeating the AustroHungarian army all alone when we have a 10x smaller population is quite an accomplishment

My pick would be Erich von Manstein, he out-played the French in one of the greatest military moves in the history of human conflict. On the Eastern Front he scored many victories while being vastly outnumbered and under-equipped.
And he recognized earlier than most that the Nazi Leadership was expecting the impossible and ignoring advise from the military command.

Why isn't Khalid more known? They should make a movie on him.

>Moreover, his biggest achievement was the conversion of Arab tactical doctrine into a strategic system.[121] Until Khalid, the Arabs were basically raiders and skirmishers. Khalid turned those skirmishing tactics into something that could be used anywhere. Thus he would skirmish the enemy to death: he would bring his army in front of his enemies and wait until the whole battle degenerated into a skirmishing affair between small units. Then, after exhausting the enemy units, he would launch his cavalry at their flanks employing Hammer and Anvil tactics.[122
