The church rarely talks about him but perhaps in a lesson or talk he may come up.
To me I kinda feel the same but to be honest I haven't read the Qu'ran all the way through and I haven't learned enough about him to really know. I know that through him many people made the world better and in the name of some twisted forms of his teachings, many people made the world worse. I don't discredit the man at all but he was human and therefore he was flawed and because of his authority his mistakes proved to be magnified.
