Why was Muhammed at war?

[Thyme]

Thyme, i really appereciate your way of discussion
but i can’t keep the line of discussion

can you specify for me specific wars which mohammed(pbuh) engaged in , so that we can discuss it’s reasons in details then find out if it differs than reasons of mosas (pbuh)

Okay. How about the war at Mecca?

…
If they can only go to war if they’ve been threatened first, does history or the Qu 'ran say what those Jews, Christians and Pagans were doing that deserved it?

Since it is Allah’s will that the whole world be made to submit to him and his followers, anything or anyone standing in the way of that goal is waging aggressive war; and therefore, any war waged by Muslims in response to that resistance is defensive by definition. Remember, the world is divided into two realms: the house of Islam and the house of war [the latter consisting of all that is not the former].

Therefore the mere existence of a non-believer can be an act of aggression to Muslims.

Muslims might use the same vocabulary as non-Muslims, but the words have completely different meanings.

As far as Mohammed was concerned, 20 percent of the booty was enough incentive.

People already believed in God- the Jews and Christians. They weren’t trying to make the Muslims believe in false gods, have orgies or make baby sacrifices to idols. Also, God had no Messianic lineage to keep intact.

They weren’t allowed to keep loot. If anyone did, God severely punished them- Muhammed kept his. Muhammed’s wars were nothing like the Israelites’.

True that. So you could say that Islam was sort of an unnecessary step backwards, and that it’s only ok to go to war if the people Are hAving huge gay sex orgies And killing infAnts right? Nice.

I believe that God wanted Moses to fight against the pagans because not only because of that, but because they were trying to make the Israelites join them, which would destroy the purpose of God’s promise to Abraham and His promise of the Messiah.

This is what I’m asking about in this thread.
