No, I'd say just because it has them doesn't mean Muslims have to follow them.
No they dont but you dont think th rules of Islam are going to have some influence on what muslims do? For example Turkey is secular but its against the lwas to convert somebody to Christanity..where did they get that idea from.
Why dont we have this problem with Buddhism?

Jesus loves you! Or so we presume...
Why is it that the character of Jesus has been put under such scrutiny and examination (this is an atheist view) that all educated in the field agree he did exist and he did do what the gospels say he did (whether they were miracles or illusions it cant be concluded) but when it comes to Muhammad, if anyone suggested actually investigating his life with a complete neutral point of view they would be hated by the Islamic Community?

Yes, actually.
Arabs, and north Africans are Caucasians, as well as a small part of near east.
People falsly assume it is only ''white people''.

Yep.
The first biographers of Muhammad's life are Ibn Ishaq and al-Tabari, who provide the original and ONLY valid history of Muhammad.
Ibn Ishaq's ''Sirat Rasul Allah'' was written 120 years after Muhammad's death in 750 A.D. It was translated as ''The Life of Muhammad'' by Alfred Guillaume, and is available from Oxford Press.
His original text was edited and censored by Ibn Hisham in 830.
Ibn Hisham said, ''I am omitting things which Ishaq recorded in this book. I have omitted things which are disgraceful to discuss and matters which would distress certain people.'' (Ishaq:691)
When Guillaume wrote the History, he used the original uncensored text of Ibn Ishaq, and included the censored text using Ta'rikh-e Tabari, History of Prophets adn Kings in A.H. 310, written about 300 years after the prophet's death as reference.
This is the oldest uncensored text of the life of Muhammad and Islam. His work was translated and published in 1987 - 1997 by the State University of New York Press. Tabari’s History is available from S.U.N.Y. Press.
