Genocide is not the way to handle this. Christianity had already spread to almost all of the Middle East and North Africa. It was already making in roads into the Arab pagans. Remember that there is no compulsion in religion.Well ywes and did you want them to stay?
The people of Banu Qurayzah were Jewish, not pagan, they believed then and even today in one God. Christians do too.
Female infanticide was a part of human society since the dawn of time. The jews were a rare religion as it has been illegal under Jewish law for thousands of years. Remember the commandment “Thou Shall Not Murder (Kill)”? Infanticide is the murder of an innocent baby. This is also illegal under Christian law for the same reason. Muhammad did not need to start a new religion to outlaw infanticide, Judaism and Christianity already existed.They beleived in female infanticide?
It was the Pagan Arab tribes who practiced this, not the Jews and the Christians. Using the excuse that people practiced infanticide as a reason to destroy their society, to kill them or enslave them makes no sense. What you are saying is that to prevent some small percentage of people from committing infanticide kill all of them and enslave those who are left. How about only punishing those who committed that particular crime and not society at large? Further Muhammad was not their ruler so he had no right to force his will on them.
Are you saying that the those Qureshi were tying Christians and Jews to stakes?they Qureshi as you put it would tying people ot stakes in the dessert to die just cuase they beleived in One God…
You seem to be lumping the Qureshi, Jews and Christians into one group.They did not believe all people were equal under one God, regardless of clan, tribe, race. So you think that was better…
Jews believe that God loves all people but he had special rules and obligations for them. But you think this was a reason for genocide of the Jews?
Christians believe that God opened up the covenant to all people hence all people are equal under one God regardless of clan, tribe, race.
Muslims believe that God only loves Muslims and has ordered them to conquer the world for Muslims. And that the only people who have the right to govern on earth are non-Muslims. Under Shari’ah law non-Muslims are second class citizens with few right, no access to the courts, no ability to defend themselves against Muslim attackers, only limited rights to practice their own religion. Muslim women are forbidden to marry men of other faiths. Islam is a system of religious and legal apartheid. How is that any better?
I don’t see any difference between Mao, Stalin and Islam. They are all systems of tyrannical rule that allows few freedoms, no freedom of conscience or thought. All three were spread their ideology by violence. All three have written doctrine that call for the use of violence as a major mechanism for the spread of their ideology.That is like saying having Mao and Stalin is better… gee wiz.
Most of what I have read dealing with Islam is the Qur’an, Hadiths and writings by Muslims.Maybe you should read about them Even by Someone more neutran such as Karen Armstrong… That is real nice and “loving”
