    From the way it is put, then I guess you could include Jesus into the list. He was seen as a kind of Jewish Heretic and he was executed for religious crimes.

    I may have misplaced myself about this.

    Whoever persecuted the way I'm portraying them should be condemned due to having a new way of thinking, opening up new perspectives generally being valued much later from their deaths.

    Therefore, neither Jesus nor Muhammed, reenacting the very same line of celestial/heavenly/godly set of productions with modifications each time, can qualify as "heretics" I intended to know about in this thread.

    Edit: Oops! I just remembered that Muslims say Muhammad was illiterate. If that is so, then I guess he cannot be considered an educated intellectual, no matter how smart he was.
    Although he very likely was literate.

    OK. I just didn't understand what you were counting as heresy.
    In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming; he laughed loudly in the night-time; he clawed the dying sinner, pounced on the unbaptized babe, and twisted the limbs of the epileptic. A foul fiend slunk ever by a man's side and whispered villainies in his ear, while above him there hovered an angel of grace . . .

    Arthur Conan Doyle
