quote:
We know Muhammad grew up in Mecca, got chased out of Mecca, because the people there mocked and made fun of him. He moved to Medina, met his wifey there I believe, the one who employed him as her handy man, and was a wealthy lady who financially cared for him, and then later went back to take over the whole of Mecca. Now why was it necessary for him to attack Mecca at all? Or take over the whole place? Just because a bunch of Meccans killed his allies? That is so revengeful on his part. That is preaching violence as a solution to that problem. Imagine if ISIS today from Philippines, which they do, behead a few Europeans, which they have and imagine if Europeans go and conquer Philippines in response because of those incidents? You say that is peaceful response? Even if the Europeans says, "Do not harm women and children." That is an action of a warlord mentality. And not a nice man at all. Jesus offered himself to be tortured and die in the hands of his bullies because he was peaceful. He lead by example how to "turn the other cheek". He was demonstrating by example to leave their punishment to after life and not take matters into his own hands. That's what a peaceful person do. Muhammad attacked them back. See the difference? Muhammad conquered mecca becasuse there was a 10 years treaty with the meccans that the meccans broke by attacking Muslims. I think it would do you good if you learn what exactly happened before making assumptions. And you can learn from independent sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquest_of_Mecca. As I said, when Muhammad did enter mecca with his army, he commanded his followers not to shed any blood, and all those who had wronged him/chased him and his followers out/oppressed them/took away their lands and properties were forgiven. Nonetheless, I am not here to romanticize Muslim history. There was much that was done wrong, and perhaps the event that shed most bloodshed with among Muslims waging wars against themselves after the time of Muhammad. But none of this has any baring on how Muslims practice their faith. Your argument that Muhammad was a violent warlord is simply wrong if you actually read and study his life, this is not to say you have to agree with him or his logic, but he was not a violent man. There are too many arguments here happening at once. If you are truly sincere in having an honest discussion than we can discuss one point at a time, and not move on until a consensus has reached on one point. When you keep throwing around random incoherent points based on your limited and very little researched understanding of things (perhaps partly due to your personal experiences or what you read in the media) it's very difficult to follow a logical discussion. I am not here to convince you that Islam is right or has a perfect history. I have no problem admitting points we disagree on, even if you think the worse of it. quote:
So end of the day, after all the long winded explanation. By the way. Sharia may mean law in another language but it refers to a specific type of law inspired by Islam, not just any type of law, thus calling it Sharia law would be accurate in English. And my question is simple. Would you be happy to live in a country subjected by the same sharia law rules as imposed by Muhammad? That is the question you dodged. Muhammad himself have implemented some pretty harsh punishments that includes death too. And Muhammad does preach death for apostates. And I am not sure about him sparing women and children since wasn't there an incident where he capture jews and sent all the women to be slaves to his men? Honestly, did you read ANYTHING at all I said? Are you seriously comprehending anything here? I have no problem engaging in meaningful discussions, but you have to actually follow the points and review it before your start writing. In my earlier post, I just explained to you why the so called Muslim countries adaption of sharia is completely wrong, and one that majority of the Muslims disagree with. So why on earth would I want to live in this so called Muslim countries? I don't agree with anything they're doing, and you should be troubled by Trump's closeness to these Saudis as much as I am. Please actually review what I have said before you write something.
