Quote:Conquered? With which army did he arrive in Madina with? The historic fact of the matter is that the people of Madina invited him to be their leader. He arrived in Madina with no army, because he had no army at the time. How does a man with no army conquer a place?
Out of three powerful Jewish tribes, he expelled the first two, and slaughtered the third. That's how.
Quote:True, but only after continual acts of violence and outrages committed by Jews in the face of years of Muslim tolerance. Muslim tolerance was finally rewarded by treachery
That's right people. Muslims insist that Muhammed turned up with nothing and moved on to slaughtering entire tribes within Medina and waging war against Mecca, within a few years, all out of self defence, and the treacherous Jews were to blame for it all. They expect you to believe this crap.
Quote:Except that it never happened. More Freediver falsehoods.
It happened and is well documented by Muslims. They are proud of the ethnic cleansing. The signs on the freeway as you drive into Medina - "Muslims only past this point" - are not an accident. They are the heart of Islam. That is Muslims showing you how they really feel. And it started with Muhammed.
Quote:Actually, he demonstrated great mercy and forgave nearly all of his enemies
By slaughtering the men and riding off on the women?
Quote:Nearly all the pagans that were defeated in battle were let go free.
Were they free to stay in their own home? Or is this the Islamic version of freedom that you are peddling?
Quote:Piracy originating in Spain against Africa necessitated this.
Crap. This is just more Muslim victimhood peddling. Muslims can get away with anything. Muslims are never to blame. Their victims are always to blame. Always. Absolutely. ever ever.
Quote:Yes...if subjugation means, gaining peace and security, having to pay lower tax, becoming free from conscription, and having freedom of religion introduced to your land.
Is slaughtering every adult male peace and security? Is losing all your land and possessions and paying a 50% tax on all you produce a lower tax? Is being beheaded for insulting the prophet or changing your religion freedom of religion? We are speaking English here TC. Please don't use words like freedom when you mean the opposite.
