And I strongly encourage you to stop talking like you're some religious scholar. It has been asserted and evidenced that Islam preaches tolerance and acceptance, especially towards "People of the Book," namely Jews and Christians.Originally Posted by nestasprotege
Since we are making irrelevant statements, I have an IQ of 160+ and I think you don't. This has nothing to do with the wars he commanded or who he married. It has to do with the RELIGIOUS texts to which Muslims are required to follow. Not only the Qur'an, but the Hadith as well.Originally Posted by Hazeleyed Honey
I think I know about Islam history better than you do. I sure do know about the wars he commanded, but just remember you should take it all in context.
Prophet Mohammed revered the highest respect for the religions of Judaism and Christianity. Infact, he highjacked those religions and dabbed some from Arab paganism and came up with Islam. It explicitly says to respect other religions and that Christians and Jews are people of the book.
The wars with the Jews and other sects were not because he was against them practicing their religions, it is because political allianes failed. For example. he established agreements between the Jewish tribes known as the Constitution of Medina that secured EQUAL RIGHTS for both Jews and Muslims as long as the Jews remained politically supportive. But, he went at war with some of these Jewish tribes on the basis of the violation of the CONSTITUTION, not because of their faiths.
Prophet Mohammed even married two Jewish women.
So what you say is a bunch of propaganda that cannot even be further from the truth.
I strongly encourage you to do some research on this subject.
