Despite such suppression, belief in the spiritual nature of man received
even more impetus in the sixth century when the prophet Mohammed
preached that there was only ONE God and attempted to civilize an
entire nation. He taught about the supremacy of the spiritual over
the material, and beseeched man to seek his own salvation. His message
was seen as a threat to the revenues of Mecca, and eventually led

"Holy War" against infidels. He built the great Mohammedan Empire,
which eventually reached from Spain to the borders of China.
