Important Note to the Reader:

Craig Winn purposely twisted and modified the English translations that he used!  He changes words in translations and uses non-Muslim ones.  I've noticed this a lot through his translations of the Noble Verses that he used from the Noble Quran.

CHAPTER 24


PROFITABLE PROPHET PLAN

“To Allah’s lions who fight for His religion go the spoils
that come from their prey.”

    Since the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, we have been conditioned to expect a continuance of Islamic greed and violence. Tabari IX:1 “The Prophet had been given possession of Mecca following his conquest, but he only stayed a fortnight. He received news that the sheep-herding clans of Hawazin and Thaqif were encamped at Hunayn intending to fight him.” These Arabs knew what you know—Muhammad and Islam spelled trouble. Muslim militants had raided most every village in North, West, and Central Arabia. They would have attacked Eastern Arabia, too, but there was nothing there.
    Ishaq:533/Tabari IX:1 “These tribes assembled after hearing about how the Messenger had conquered Mecca, thinking that the Muslims were intending to invade them next. When the Prophet heard that they had decided to defend themselves he went out to meet them at Hunayn, and Allah, the Great and Mighty, inflicted defeat on them. Allah has mentioned this battle in the Qur’an.” The reference is from the 9th surah, a “revelation” that must have been dribbled down over a prolonged period. It includes segments that were intended to rally the troops and justify the attack on Mecca all the way through subsequent raids on the Byzantine Christians the following year.
    As you may recall, Allah’s Hunayn recitals were sandwiched between his assault on the family unit and his attack on Christians and Jews. The Islamic god called the people who invented him “unclean” and barred them from the “house” they had built for him. Regarding the battle, he cried: 009.025 “Assuredly, Allah gave you victory on many battlefields and on the day of Hunayn: Behold, your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught, and you turned back in retreat. But Allah did pour His Sakinah on the Messenger and Believers, and sent down forces which you saw not [Allah’s angels]. He punished the Infidels. Such is their reward.” Allah was as eager to take “credit” for the savagery of his followers as Muhammad was to make his butchery appear godly. It was a symbiotic relationship.
    The Arabs who had not yet been infected by Islam weren’t adept fighters. Ishaq:566 “When Malik [the Hawazin chief] decided to fight the Apostle, he had his women, children, and cattle accompany the men. He explained that by bringing them, the men would have to fight to defend them.”
    There are some interesting sidebars here. First, Malik, whom the Muslims describe as “the chief sheep tender,” Tabari IX:6 “sent out spies to obtain intelligence. But they came back with their joints dislocated. When he asked what had happened, they said, ‘We saw white men on black horses. Before we could resist, we were struck as you see us now.” Tying men’s arms behind their backs and hanging them from meat hooks to dislocate their shoulders is still a preferred form of Islamic torture.
    Second, Muhammad also sent out spies. His “mingled amongst the crowds gathering information,” much like they do in Europe and America today. Ishaq:567 “When the spies had learned Malik’s plans they returned and informed the Prophet. Muhammad in turn informed Umar [the second Caliph], who called the Prophet a liar.” Horrified, the Islamic spy said: “Umar, you may accuse me of lying, but you have denied the truth for a long time.” The fact that Umar became Caliph proves you don’t have to believe Islam to benefit from it. Muslim leaders play their subjects like a maestro conducts an orchestra, or more correctly, like a con plays his mark.     Third, the Muslims were overly fixated on booty. The spoils had been divided before the battle was waged. Tabari IX:3 “Since the Hawazin and Thaqif had marched with their women, children, and flocks, Allah granted them as booty to His Messenger, who divided the spoils among those Quraysh who had recently embraced Islam.”
    I want to thank Muhammad and his Companions for making this so easy. They have, once again, validated my theory. The motivation for Islam was sex, power, and money. Having conquered the Meccans, acquired the Ka’aba Inc., and compelled the pledge of allegiance, it was time to demonstrate Islam. With 2,000 Quraysh in tow, Muhammad raided two tribes. He divided their wealth, enslaved their children, and offered their women as a spoil—as a godly bribe. And by giving preference to the Meccans, he made them mercenaries. While the prophet didn’t yet control their minds or hearts, he held sway over their wallets. Tyrants throughout time—political, corporate, and religious—have ruled in like manner.
    While marching to attack the Arab tribes, Muhammad conned some pagans out of their armor and swords. Ishaq:567 “Lend us your weapons so that we may fight our enemy.” Then Bakr said, Tabari IX:7 “Today we will not be overpowered on account of small numbers.” But arrogance soon led to disaster. Tabari IX:8 “The Messenger marched with 2,000 Meccans and 10,000 of his Companions who had come with him to facilitate the conquest of Mecca. Thus there were 12,000 in all. Muhammad left Abd Shams in charge of Mecca.” Muhammad liberated Mecca the same way Stalin liberated Eastern Europe. As they marched toward their prey, the great Sulami said: Ishaq:568 “This year the ghoul has smitten people in the midst of their tents as the ghoul has many forms…. All wild ass is inedible. The Hawazin tribe is diseased so I think that Allah’s Apostle will attack them in the morning.”
    The next Hadith reports: Tabari IX:8/Ishaq:569 “We descended through a sloping valley at the twilight of daybreak. But the enemy had gotten there before us and we were waylaid by them in a narrow pass. They had collected themselves and they were fully prepared. By Allah, we were terrified! As we descended, their squadrons made their first assaults on us as if they were one man. Our people were routed and fled, no one turning to look back. Allah’s Apostle withdrew and cried, ‘Where are you going? Come to me. I am Allah’s Apostle! I am Muhammad, son of Abdallah!’ It was of no avail. The camels just bumped into one another as the Muslims ran away.” Pathetic, isn’t it? “Allah’s Apostle withdrew and cried, ‘Where are you going? Come to me. I am Allah’s Apostle!’”
    Muhammad’s militants were under no illusions. They were out for easy booty, not some religious crusade. They were pirates because stealing was easier than working. They didn’t believe Muhammad was an apostle any more than I do. They just ignored him—sage advice, if I do say so myself.
    It got so bad…Tabari IX:8 “When the polytheists overwhelmed the Muslims, the Prophet got off his mount and started reciting verses in the rajaz meter: ‘I am the Prophet, it is no lie, I am the son of Abd Muttalib!’” The first line was pathetic. The second was a confession. Abd Muttalib had been the last in Qusayy’s line to control all aspects of the Ka’aba Inc. Muhammad was using the scam to establish his authority.
    Next we learn that the previous prophet’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself,” didn’t apply to this peculiar order of religious stalwarts. Tabari IX:10/ Ishaq:569 “When the Muslims fled, the uncouth and rude fellows from Mecca who were with us saw that we were in total disarray. Some of them spoke in a manner that disclosed the hatred they harbored against us. Abu Sufyan [the Meccan chief turned Muslim warrior] had divining arrows with him but another Muslim said, ‘Sorcery is useless today.’ Sufyan replied, ‘Shut up! May Allah smash your mouth!’” This episode is alarming. First, we discover, the gambling game of divining arrows that had saved Abd Allah, Muhammad’s father, was Satanic. Second, witchcraft was routinely practiced around the Ka’aba. And third, these Meccan Muslims, who had lived next to the Black Stone for decades, knew that Allah was useless. So now they feared that things were so bad that almighty Satan couldn’t even rescue them.
    Things continued to spiral out of control. Tabari IX:11/Ishaq:574 “When Muhammad saw his men confused and in disarray, he repeated: ‘Where are you going, men?’ But not even one of them paid heed to his cries, so he went to the biggest man with the strongest voice and had him shout out to rally the troops.” The first Muslims were confused. Neither they, nor their prophet, knew where they were going.
    Ultimately, fewer than one percent of the 12,000 fighters responded to the Prophet’s plea. Ishaq:574 “Finally a hundred were gathered around the Prophet. They confronted the enemy, and fought.” But their battle cries weren’t for Muhammad, Allah, or even Islam. “The first cry was, ‘Help the Ansar!’ And then, ‘For the Khazraj!’ Looking down at the mêlée as they were fighting, the Prophet said, ‘Now the oven is hot.’”
    According to Islamic Tradition, which as we know is a precisely accurate and unbiased account (the narrator intoned with tongue planted firmly in cheek): Tabari IX:12 “Ali came upon them from behind, hamstrung their camels and they fell on their rumps. He struck the enemy with such blows he cut off feet and shanks. The men fought, and by Allah, when those [Muslims] who had run away returned, they found only prisoners already handcuffed with the Apostle.” That means that a force fierce enough to make 12,000 men flee was conquered, bound, and slain by 100.
    Ishaq:570 “The Messenger turned to Abu Sufyan, who stood fast fighting that day. He had become an excellent Muslim after embracing Islam.” That means it doesn’t take much Islam to turn men violent. But it’s worse than that. An hour earlier, this “excellent Muslim” was practicing “sorcery.”
    Tabari IX:13 “Muhammad turned to see Umm, a pregnant woman, who said, ‘O Messenger! Kill those [Muslims] who flee from you as you kill those who fight you, for they deserve death. Here is my dagger. If any come near me I will rip them up and slit open their belly with it.’” She had listened to the Qur’an recitals and knew that Allah hated peaceful Muslims who retreated in battle. But Allah loved a good thief…“Abu Talhah alone took the spoils of twenty men whom he had killed.”
    This is such a charming religion. And we know it is a religion because there are killer angels. If Islam were a political doctrine they would be murderous comrades. Tabari IX:14/Ishaq:572 “While the men were still fighting I saw a black striped garment descending from the sky until it dropped between us and the enemy. I gazed, and lo, it was a mass of black ants strewn everywhere, which filled the valley. I had no doubt that they were angels and that the enemy would be routed.” And that would make either Allah or the Muslim a liar, for Allah said: “He sent down forces which you saw not.”
    One of Muhammad’s marauders boasted about how blood and booty had motivated the first Muslims: Ishaq:571 “I went up to a man and struck off his hand, and he throttled me with the other. He would have killed me if the loss of blood had not weakened him. He fell, and I killed him while he was down. But I was too occupied with fighting to pay any more attention to him. So one of the Meccan Muslims passed by and stripped him. Then when the fighting was over and we had finished with the enemy, the Apostle said that anyone who had killed a foe could have his spoil. I told the Apostle that I had killed a man who was worth stripping but had been too busy killing others at the time to notice who had spoiled him.” So Abu Bakr scolded the Muslim who had wrongly stolen the mutilated man’s clothes: “To Allah’s lions who fight for His religion go the spoils that come from their prey. Return the booty to the man who killed him.’ The Apostle confirmed Abu Bakr’s words. So I was given the property of the man whom I had killed. I sold it and bought a small palm grove with the money. It was the first property I ever owned.” Sometimes I don’t know if I should scream or just give up. The degree to which Islam’s poison corrupts men is hard to fathom. Saving mankind from this “religion” will not be easy.
    Old hatreds die hard. Ishaq:572 “When the Apostle learned that one of the Meccans had died in the battle, he said, ‘Allah curse him!’ He used to hate the Quraysh.” All the while…Tabari IX:15 “One of the Ansari who was plundering the slain came upon a Thaqif boy. He discovered that he was an uncircumcised Christian. He uncovered others and then yelled out at the top of his voice, ‘Allah knows that the Thaqif are uncircumcised.” Muslims had killed and robbed their first Christians.
    This wouldn’t be Islam without a sonnet to commemorate the occasion. Ishaq:572 “Muhammad is the man, an Apostle of my Lord who errs not, neither does he sin. Any who would rival him in goodness must fail. Evil was the state of our enemy so they lost the day. Fortunes change and we came upon them like lions from the thickets. The armies of Allah came openly, flying at them in rage, so they could not get away. We destroyed them and forced them to surrender. In the former days there was no battle like this; their blood flowed freely. We slew them and left them in the dust. Those who escaped were choked with terror. A multitude of them were slain. This is Allah’s war in which those who do not accept Islam will have no helper. War destroyed the tribe and fate the clan.” With each word, Islam grew ever more violent and repulsive.
    Muhammad’s disciples said that their warlord “errs not, neither does he sin,” that “none could rival him in goodness.” Deceit, sin, and evil have been redefined: it isn’t a sin to fight, kill, terrorize, bear false witness, covet, or steal. And that’s why the Qur’an and Hadith boast about such things.
    The second half of Abbas’ poem—turned Islamic Tradition—is frightening. It explains what happens to people who are victimized by Islam. The Muslims were the aggressors as they “came upon them like lions.” They were an “army” not missionaries. “Rage” consumed them. The first Muslims were “destructive.” They “forced surrender.” And we know that it was Islam that had done this to them because “in the former days there were no battles like this.” Death was the result: “blood flowed freely.” Killing meant nothing to the Muslims as they “left them in the dust.” The first Muslims were vicious terrorists: “those who escaped were choked with terror. A multitude were slain.” And all this death and destruction was perpetrated in the name of their despicable spirit: “This is Allah’s war.”
    A second poem recited this day was no less harsh. Ishaq:574 “In faith I do not fear the army of fate. [Islam is fatalistic because Manat was the goddess of fate.] He gave us the blood of their best men to drink when we led our army against them. We were a great army with a pungent smell. And we attack continuously, wherever our enemy is found.” Even the most brutal, violent, and ungodly regimes to prowl our planet would have been repulsed by a god who “gave us the blood of their best men to drink.” You’d think such “scripture” would prompt a response from those who claim that today’s bloodthirsty Islamic terrorists have “corrupted their religion.”
    Next we find the apostle in a heroic moment. Ishaq:576 “One of our Companions told us that the Apostle walked past a woman whom Khalid [the perfect Islamic terrorist] had killed. He sent word to Khalid and forbade him to kill more children, women, and slaves.” It’s hard to sell a corpse into slavery. And this Bukhari Hadith contradicts the moral message: Bukhari:V4B52N256 “The Prophet passed by and was asked whether it was permissible to attack infidels at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, ‘Their women and children are from them.’”
    While they were out being religious, Allah’s cavalry elected to terrorize the good folks of Nakhlah, Awtas, and Sa’d. But they began the fun by capturing and assassinating Bijad first. Ishaq:576 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If you get hold of Bijad, don’t let him escape for he has done something evil.’” Tabari IX:18 “While fighting the Banu Sa’d, Muslim horsemen seized Bijad. They herded his family around him like cattle, and they treated them roughly.” All the while, Tabari IX:20 “The captives of Hunayn, along with their possessions, were brought to the Messenger. He ordered that their captives, animals, and their possessions be taken to Ji’ranah and held there in custody.”
    To commemorate their captivity, a Muslim gloated: Ishaq:576 “Allah and His servant overwhelmed every coward. Allah honored us and made our religion victorious. We were glorified in the worship of the Compassionate God who destroyed them all. He humiliated them in the worship of Satan. By what our Apostle recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the punishment the infidels received. Killing them was sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting for the spoil. With our loud-voiced army, the Apostle’s squadron advanced into the fray.” This stuff makes Mein Kampf seem mild.
    Another Muslim sang: Ishaq:578 “Crushing the heads of the infidels and splitting their skulls with sharp swords, we continually thrust and cut at the enemy. Blood gushed from their deep wounds as the battle wore them down. We conquered bearing the Prophet’s fluttering standard [war banner]. Our cavalry was submerged in rising dust, and our spears quivered, but by us the Prophet gained victory.”
    Not to be outdone, another of Muhammad’s Companions recited some very illuminating lines: Ishaq:580 “Allah’s religion is the religion of Muhammad. We are satisfied with it. It contains guidance and laws. By it he set our affairs right.” Once again, I agree with the first Muslims: “Allah’s religion is the religion of Muhammad.”
    Still incriminating themselves: Ishaq:580 “Our strong warriors obey his orders to the letter. By us Allah’s religion is undeniably strong.” Islam was not spread by word of mouth, by reason, or by the kind deeds it inspired. Islam was propagated by the sword. “You would think when our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the sounds of demons are among them.” Wherever Muslim militants are found, loud-mouthed demons are close at hand. “The day we trod down the unbelievers there was no deviation or turning from the Apostle’s order. During the battle the people heard our exhortations to fight and the smashing of skulls by swords that sent heads flying. We severed necks with a warrior’s blow. Often we have left the slain cut to pieces and a widow crying alas over her mutilated husband. ’Tis Allah, not man we seek to please.” Just when you thought Islam couldn’t get any worse, it spews ever more vitriolic violence in your face. From Sira to Sunnah to Surah, Islam is putrid.
    Abbas also composed the following lines. I want you to appreciate the nature of those who, along with Muhammad, invented Islam. While Ibn Ishaq recorded a dozen pages of poetry from this day, I have tried to sift through the rubble to bring you the lines that best illuminate the mentality of the first Muslims. Ishaq:580 “We helped Allah’s Apostle, angry on his account, with a thousand warriors. We carried his flag on the end of our lances. We were his helpers, protecting his banner in deadly combat. We dyed it with blood, for that was its color. We were the Prophet’s right arm in Islam. We were his bodyguards before other troops served him. We helped him against his opponents. Allah richly rewarded that fine Prophet Muhammad.”
    Islam immortalized one of its best: the woman killing, child abusing, genocidal, tax-collecting Khalid. Ishaq:583 “Since you have made Khalid chief of the army and promoted him, he has become a chief indeed, leading an army guided by Allah. Firmly clad in mail, warriors with lances leveled, we are a strong force not unlike a rushing torrent. We smite the wicked while we swear an oath to Muhammad…fighting in the quest of booty.” Ishaq:586 “Red blood flowed because of our rage.” No matter the translation, no matter the interpretation, these men were as bad as their religion.
    Attacking, killing, enslaving, plundering, and terrorizing the Hawazin, Thaqif, Nakhlah, Awtas, and Sa’d villages was insufficient. Tabari IX:20 “The Messenger and his companions went directly to Ta’if.” This was the town between Mecca and Yathrib whose “rabble” had “mocked and stoned the prophet” following the Quraysh Bargain and Satanic Verses. “Muhammad encamped there for a fortnight, waging war. The townsfolk fought the Muslims from behind the fort. None came out in the open. All of the surrounding people surrendered and sent their delegations to the Prophet. After besieging Ta’if for twenty days, Muhammad left and halted at Ji’ranah where the captives of Hunayn were held with their women and children. It is alleged that those captives taken numbered six thousand with women and children.” Since only a hundred Muslims fought, overcoming sixty to one odds is a little farfetched. But there is an important line in the opening Hadith on the siege of Ta’if. The first Muslims had been so vicious that “all of the surrounding people surrendered.”
    Tabari IX:21 “Delegations of Hawazin came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. Therefore, he set their women and children free and decided to make the lesser pilgrimage directly from Ji’ranah.” Freedom had never been part of this man’s vocabulary. “Embracing Islam” was tantamount to surrender, bowing in submission to Muhammad’s authority and will. So what’s up? Simple economics: there were only four towns within walking distance with enough money to buy slaves: Mecca, Yathrib, Khaybar, and Ta’if. One had been invaded, two conquered, and the forth was under siege. There simply wasn’t a market. Slaves need to be sheltered, fed, and watered. They are a liability to a profiteer who has no means to trade them for money.
    Released of his burden, the prophet refocused his rage on Ta’if. After all, this had been the town whose leaders had once said, “If god needed a messenger, he would have chosen somebody better than you.” The Hadith reports: Tabari IX:22 “Muhammad ordered that Ta’if’s walled gardens should be torn down and destroyed.” Ten years later our boy was still hot under the collar.
    But his grudge match was little more than an irritant. Ishaq:589 “The Muslims were unable to get through the city wall, for the inhabitants had shut the gate.” This is as lame as the Meccans being stumped by the trench surrounding Medina. Tabari IX:22 “The Prophet continued to besiege the town, fighting them bitterly. Both sides shot arrows at each other until one day the wall of Ta’if was stormed. A number of Muhammad’s companions went under a testudo [a Roman style siege engine with a roof] and tried to breach it but they were showered with scraps of hot iron. They came out from under their testudo and the Thaqif shot them.” Ever mean spirited, “Muhammad then ordered that their vineyards should be cut down.”
    But all was not war and destruction. The prophet had but two of his two-dozen wives, concubines, and sex slaves with him on the campaign and was now longing for some variety. So…Tabari IX:24/Ishaq:590 “Muhammad told Bakr, ‘I saw in a dream that I was given a large bowl filled with butter. A cock pecked at it and spilt it.’ ‘O Messenger of Allah, I don’t think that you will attain what you desire today.’” Wouldn’t you just love to turn Sigmund Freud loose on that one?
    Anyway, that was it. The Muslim militants packed up their camels and headed home, grumbling all the way. Tabari IX:25 “By Allah, I did not come to fight for nothing. I wanted a victory over Ta’if so that I might obtain a slave girl from them and make her pregnant.” Lovely.
    On the way back home…Ishaq:587 “Ka’b ibn Malik reacted to the Apostle’s decision. He said, ‘We put an end to doubt at Khaybar. But we gave our swords a rest. If our swords could have spoken, their blades would have said, “Give us Daus or Thaqif. We will tear off the roofs in Wajj. We will make homes desolate. Our cavalry will come upon you leaving behind a tangled mass. When we assault a town they sound a cry of alarm but our sharp cutting swords flash like lightning. By them we bring death to those who struggle against us. Flowing blood was mingled with saffron the morn the forces met. They were taken by surprise and we surrounded their walls with our troops. Our leader, the Prophet, was firm, pure of heart, steadfast, continent, straightforward, full of wisdom, knowledge, and clemency. He was not frivolous nor light minded. We obey our Prophet and we obey a Lord who is the Compassionate [the Ar-Rahman].  We make you partners in peace and war. If you refuse we will fight you doggedly.””” The sword of Islam has spoken.
    Ka’b continued with these words: Ishaq:587 “Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have cut off every opponent’s nose and ears with our fine swords. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.” Nothing more need be said.
    This next poem begins as a fairytale; it ends as a nightmare. Ishaq:588 “Shaddad said this about the Apostle’s raid on Ta’if: ‘Don’t help Al-Lat [ one of Allah’s pagan daughters] for Allah is about to destroy her. How can one who cannot help herself be helped? She was burned in black smoke and caught fire. Those who fight before her stone are outcasts. When the Apostle descends on your land none of your people will be left when he leaves.”
    Under the heading, “The Division of Booty Captured at Hunayn and Conciliation Gifts Given to Gain Men’s Hearts,” we find that the disgruntled mercenaries needed to be appeased. Ishaq:592 “The Apostle held a large number of captives. There were 6,000 women and children prisoners. He had captured so many sheep and camels they could not be counted.” But since there was no market for the slaves, Muhammad asked his mercenaries to free those he had previously divvied up. Tabari IX:28 “The Banu Tamim were concerned. They did not want to give up their share. So Muhammad said, ‘He who holds a share of these captives shall get six camels for every slave from the next booty we take.’ [They were postponing gratification; it was so mature of them.] So the Muslims returned the women and children captives.”
    But not every Mujahidun was so mature. The prophet was always an exception to his own rules. Ishaq:593 “From the captives of Hunayn, Allah’s Messenger gave [his son-in-law] Ali a slave girl called Baytab and he gave [future Caliph] Uthman a slave girl called Zaynab and [future Caliph] Umar another.” As the brain trust of Islam, these fellows knew that there were no babes in paradise, so they got all the fornication they could handle right here on earth.
    Umar palmed off his prize on his son Abdallah who scurried off to the Ka’aba to pay tribute to the idol for whom he had been named. He said, “I will take her when I return.” But alas, the Islamic dictator said, “Let her go, for her mouth is cold, her breasts are flat. You did not take her as a virgin in her prime nor even full-figured in her middle age!” Even religious rapists have their standards.
    Still bickering, the Muslims who had followed the prophet into battle yelled, Tabari IX:31/Ishaq:594 “‘Muhammad, divide the spoil and booty of camels and cattle among us.’ They forced the Prophet up against a tree, and his robe was torn from him. Muhammad cried, ‘Give me back my robe. If there had been more sheep I would have given you some. You have not found me to be niggardly, cowardly or false.” Yes they had; which is why they had so little regard for him. We were just told: Tabari IX:26 “He had captured so many sheep and camels they could not be counted.” It is little wonder Muhammad prayed: Bukhari:V4B52N143 “O Allah! I seek refuge with you from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men.”
    Let’s think about this for a moment. Muhammad had led 12,000 armed militants against a tribe of sheepherders. They had slaughtered the men, stolen their property, and taken 6,000 women and children captive. It came time to pay the pirates their usual share from the spoil and he reneges. He changed the rules and promised to pay them later, out of a future raid. The first Muslims became angry, ganged up on their prophet, forced him up against a tree, and tore off his robe. In response, he lied to them.
    Then, to memorialize the event, the warlord of the world’s fastest growing religion proclaimed that he was distressed, sorrowful, helpless, and lazy. He confessed to being a coward. Then he said that he was miserly—a death sentence if you’re a pirate. No matter how many people he enslaved or how much property he stole, he was so irresponsible, he was always broke. And while that’s really bad, how can a man of god be “overcome by men?”
    As bad as this affair was for Islam’s credibility, Muslim apologists cannot wish it away, for Bukhari documents it too: Bukhari:V4B53N376 “While Allah’s Apostle was accompanied by the people on their way back from Hunayn, the Bedouins started begging for things so aggressively that they forced him to go under a Samura tree where his outer garment was snatched away. On that, Allah’s Apostle stood up [in his undies] and said, ‘Return my clothes. If I had as many camels as these trees, I would have distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a miser, liar or coward.’” In what appears to be a related incident, we learn: Bukhari:V4B53N377 “While I was walking with the Prophet he was wearing a Najrani outer garment with a thick hem. A Bedouin came upon him and pulled his garment so violently that I could see the imprint of the hem on his shoulder caused by the violence of his pull. The Bedouin said, ‘Give me something from Allah’s Fortune which you have.’ The Prophet turned, smiled, and ordered that a gift should be given.”
    Returning to the historical and biographical accounts, we find Muhammad lying to his troops and contradicting his prayer. Tabari IX:31/Ishaq:594 “‘You have not found me miserly, cowardly, or a liar.’ Then he walked over to his camel and took a hair from its hump. Holding it aloft in his fingers he said, ‘Men, I do not have anything of your booty, not even as much as this hair. Just filth. And that filth is what is being given to you. [How perceptive. Islam is filth.] So, bring back my cloak, for dishonesty will be a shame, a flame, and a doom to you.’” Since even his own Sunnah proves he was lying through his teeth, Muhammad must be enjoying the shame of the flame.
    This wrangling over stolen money continued for a number of pages. Muhammad had lost control; he was “overcome by men.” Ever more desperate to buy loyalty, he doled out some of the booty his goons had stolen. But there never seemed to be enough. Ishaq:594 “The Apostle gave gifts to those whose hearts were to be won over, notably the chiefs of the army, to win them and through them the people.” Point, game, set, match. That about wraps it up. Muhammad used stolen property to bribe men. He, like every tyrant who has ever lived, began by greasing the palms of his generals. With the military leadership sufficiently corrupted and induced, there was nothing the people could do. Their fate was sealed. And little has changed in 1400 years. (As an interesting aside, the first and largest bribe listed was paid to the former Meccan chief, occultist, and excellent Muslim, Abu Sufyan.)
    But that did not keep the troops from grumbling. The first Muslims weren’t very happy with their warlord. Tabari IX:34/Ishaq:595 “Khuwaysirah came and stood by the Prophet as he was giving gifts to the people and said, ‘Muhammad, I have seen what you have done today.’ ‘Well, what did you see?’ He said, ‘I don’t think you have been fair.’ Allah’s Messenger became angry. ‘Woe to you! If justice is not to be found with me, then with whom is it to be found?’” Might I suggest any of ten billion other choices? “Umar [who got his sex toy] said, ‘Muhammad, allow me to kill him.’” Ishaq:595 “The Apostle said, ‘Get him away from me and cut off his tongue.””
    Bukhari reported the naked truth about the nature of fundamental Islam: Bukhari:V4B53N373 “Allah’s Apostle got property and war prisoners and gave them to some people to the exclusion of others. The latter seemed to be displeased by that. The Prophet said, ‘I give to some people, lest they should deviate from Islam or lose patience.’ Amr bin Taghlib said, ‘The statement of Allah’s Apostle is dearer to me than red camels.’” Bukhari:V4B53N374 “The Prophet said, ‘I give to the Quraysh so that they will desire Islam, for they are nearer to their life of Ignorance and it is not strong in their hearts.’” The term the mafia uses to describe this situation is “made.” A “made man” is someone who has participated in a criminal act like kidnap for ransom or murder for money. Made men continue to embrace the organization to keep the money coming and to keep from being incarcerated for their crime.
    Another Bukhari Hadith confirms that the first Muslims were nothing more than bloodthirsty pirates. It also demonstrates that there was no appreciable difference between the Hadiths collected by Ishaq, Tabari, or Bukhari. Bukhari:V4B53N375 “When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of the Hawazin tribe as Fai booty, he started giving to some of the Meccan men up to one-hundred camels each. Whereupon some Ansari said, ‘May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to the Quraysh and leaving us out, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dripping with the blood of the infidels.’ When Muhammad was informed of what they had said, he called for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent. ‘What is the statement which I have been informed, and that which you have said?’ [He meant: “What did you say?”] The smart ones replied, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! The wise ones did not say anything, but the youngsters said, “May Allah forgive His Apostle; he enriches the Quraysh and leaves the Ansar poor, in spite of the fact that Ansar swords are still dribbling with the blood of the infidels.”’ The Prophet replied, ‘I give them more because they are still close to the period of Infidelity and have just recently embraced Islam. You should be pleased to see them becoming rich.’ The Ansar replied, ‘Yes, O Allah’s Apostle, we are satisfied.’” The moral of the story is: You have to bribe men to make them Muslims and then threaten them to keep them that way. Bukhari:V4B53N411 “The Prophet said, ‘Every betrayer will have a flag which will be fixed to him and displayed on the Day of Doom. This flag will show the betrayal he committed.’” In other words: “Mess with me and you’ll go to hell.”
    This was an unpleasant time for Muhammad. He had bribed men to rob and plunder Arabs and Jews, but now the cupboard was bare. Tabari IX:36/Ishaq:596 “‘Prophet, this group of Ansar have a grudge against you for what you did with the booty and how you divided it among your own people.’ After due praise and exaltation of Allah, he addressed them. ‘Ansar, what is this talk I hear from you? What is the grudge you harbor in your hearts against me? Do you think ill of me? Did I not come to you when you were erring and needy, and then made rich by Allah?’” It was getting nastier by the moment. There simply wasn’t enough plunder to go around. And heaven forbid a Muslim should soil his hands producing something of value.
    The Ansar were not satisfied, and they turned the tables on the pirate king— giving him a strong dose of reality. Tabari IX:37/Ishaq:596 “You came to us discredited, when your message was rejected by the Quraysh, and we believed you. You were forsaken and deserted and we assisted you. You were a fugitive and we took you in, sheltering you. You were poor and in need, and we comforted you.” It was all true—every word of it. Muhammad had been “discredited” because he had accepted the Quraysh Bargain. Tempted by sex, power, and money, he had made a deal with the Devil. He blasphemed his god, reciting Satanic Verses. His demonic message had been “rejected” as delusional. The Quraysh knew that Muhammad was a demon possessed, lying charlatan, forging his scriptures by plagiarizing earlier lore. After telling the Quraysh that he was going to slaughter them, and after duping the Ansar to war against all mankind, Muhammad had become a “fugitive.” He was run out of town in shame, “forsaken and deserted” by his own people—his family. He was as “poor” as his religion.
    The Yathrib Arabs had foolishly comforted him, believed him, fought for him. Yet none of that fazed the prophet. Tabari IX:37/Ishaq:596 “Do you hold a grudge against me and are you mentally disturbed because of the worldly things by which I conciliate a people and win them over so that they will embrace Islam and become Muslims?” Case closed. Proof doesn’t get any better than this. This is a stunning confession. Muhammad said that he used stolen property to bribe militants so that they would become Muslims. That made the first Muslims mercenaries. They were seduced and lured into Islam just as the Devil had beguiled Muhammad. Islam’s warlord bought support with booty. But alas, how can a pirate be a prophet? How can criminal behavior be religious? Stealing is illegal. Bribery is immoral. Venerating a man who advocates both makes one an accomplice. And trusting him with your soul is insane.
    Caught between a rock and some hard people, Muhammad chose the rock. “Allah’s Apostle left town to make a lesser pilgrimage and ordered that the rest of the booty be held back, although some of the spoil followed him.” There’s nothing more religious than storing your contraband safely before you rush off to visit your rock god. Then, confirming the new religion was regurgitated paganism: Ishaq:597 “The people made the pilgrimage that year in the way the pagan Arabs used to do it.”
    With that two-line religious interlude over, it was time to return the focus to money. Now that Muhammad had admitted to being a lying miser without enough booty to go around, what do you suppose he did? He had already robbed everyone within camel ride, so more piracy wasn’t going to work. Tabari IX:38 “In this year, the Messenger sent Amr to collect the zakat tax from Jayfar and Amr, the clans of Julanda and Azd.” And...“He collected the jizyah from the Zoroastrians [an occult religion derived from Babylonian paganism].” He taxed them all. It was Muhammad’s version of The New Deal.
    Tabari IX:39 “In the same year the [sixty-year old] Prophet married Kilabiyyah. When she was given the choice between this world and the hereafter, and she preferred this world.” That means she rejected Islam. What’s more, this Hadith confirms Muhammad ignored the Qur’an’s order not to befriend disbelievers.
    The Tradition goes on to report: “Mariyah [a Coptic child-virgin sent as a gift and then turned into a concubine] gave birth to Ibrahim, The Messenger entrusted the infant to Umm. Mariyah told Salma, a bond-maid [sex slave] of the Messenger the good news. She told a Muslim who shared it with Muhammad who in turn gave him a slave as a gift. When Mariyah gave birth to her son, the Prophet’s wives became jealous.”
    Ishaq:597 “When the Apostle returned to Medina after his raid on Ta’if, word spread that he had killed some of the men who had satirized and insulted him. The poets who were left spread in all directions.” You’ve got to give Muhammad credit for one thing, he knew how to control the press.
    The next Hadith speaks of “short black men who used to retreat.” They “excited anger against them.” But then the pacifists became Muslims and turned violent. Ishaq:601 “The best men launch spears as if they were swords. They peer forward unweariedly with eyes red as burning coals. They devote their lives to their Prophet. On the day of hand-to-hand fighting and cavalry attacks they purify themselves with the blood of infidels. They consider that an act of piety. Their habit is to act like lions. They are accustomed to hunting men.” Good Muslims “purify themselves with the blood of infidels.” You don’t suppose that this was what the dark spirit of Islam meant when he said: “Allah is the best Baptizer?”
    With this, the curtain came down (most blessedly) on the eighth year of the Islamic Era. We’re twenty years into this scam and it remains as ugly as its first night, the one in which Muhammad first encountered his demon.

My response:

First of all, as I proved in my previous rebuttals, the Al-Tabari and Ibn-Ishaq and other sources are extremely doubtful and unauthenticated.   Most Muslim scholars today firmly and strongly believe in this.  Not that the hadiths above are bad or anything, but as most Muslim Scholars agree, we Muslims can't take them as absolute Truth or accurate information.  Much of these volumes are either corrupt or taken out of context.  Again, this is according to the Muslims scholars.  This is why these volumes are considered "unauthenticated".

Now having said all of that, the hateful polytheist trinitarian pagan's lies and absurdities above raised the following points:

1-  Jihad started with the polytheist trinitarian pagan's X-Rated Pornographic Bible.  Includes pedophilia with 3-year old girls by Moses and his men!

2-  Jihad in Islam was only permitted against the HOSTILE enemy, and it is forbiden against the PEACEFUL non-Muslims!

3-  Killing the children and women is not permissible in Islam.  The following scenario was an exception:
Bukhari:V4B52N256 “The Prophet passed by and was asked whether it was permissible to attack infidels at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, ‘Their women and children are from them.’”

(Jihad started with the polytheist trinitarian pagan's X-Rated Pornographic Bible.  Includes pedophilia with 3-year old girls by Moses and his men!)

From http://www.answering-christianity.com/jihad_in_bible.htm:

Jihad (Fighting for the Cause of GOD Almighty) started with the Bible!

The sections of this article are:

1-  Jihad in the Bible.
2-  Inhumane slavery as a direct result of the Bible's Jihad.
3-  Conclusion.

1-  Jihad in the Bible:

Christians often refer to Islam as a terrorist religion, and they abuse the Arabic word "Jihad" and portray it as a reference to terrorism.  We must not forget that JIHAD began in the Bible, where GOD Almighty Commanded His followers to fight for His Holy Cause.  Let us look at what the Bible says about Jihad:

GOD Almighty Chose the land of Palestine to be the Jews' "Promise Land", and thus, ordered them to go into it and fight the pagans there so they can have possession over it:

Numbers 13:26-28
26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.
28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

One simple Question:   Did the disbelievers in the land of Palestine during the times of Moses start any war with the Hebrews who ORIGINALLY came from Egypt??  Absolutely Not!

Later on, the Hebrews or the "Israelites" or the "Jews" (call them as you wish) have committed Pedophilia, Murders and Terrorism against those disbelievers:

"Now kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.  (Numbers 31:17-18)"

Now what crime did the innocent children and non-virgin women commit in order for them to get killed?

It's funny how one of the 10 Commandments say "Thou shalt not kill.  (Exodus 20:13)", and yet, the bible ordered the killing of innocent children and non-virgin girls.

Also, according to the Talmud's historical elaborations on Numbers 31:17-18 above, Moses gave direct orders for his men to have SEXUAL INTERCOURSE with every VIRGIN GIRLS who was AT LEAST 3 YEARS OLD:

"....The Tannaïtic Midrash Sifre to Numbers in §157 comments on the above quoted commandment of MOSES to kill the Midianite women as well as the male children...."

"....According to the Tannaïte Rabbis, MOSES therefore had ordered the Israelites to kill all women older than three years and a day, because they were "suitable for having sexual relations." [138]...."

"Said Rabbi Joseph, "Come and take note: A girl three years and one day old is betrothed by intercourse....."

"A girl three years and one day old is betrothed by intercourse. "A girl three years old may be betrothed through an act of sexual intercourse," the words of R. Meir. And sages say, "Three years and one day old."....."

The detailed quotes, elaborations and bibliography are all listed at:

3-year old girls were forced into sex in the Bible!

2-  Inhumane slavery as a direct result of the Bible's Jihad:

After the pagans had been defeated and taken as slaves, the Jews had all of them under their possessions:

From http://www.answering-christianity.com/slaves.htm:

Leviticus 25:44-46 "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." 

What kind of a human value does the Bible give to slaves?   If slaves and their children must be inherited and passed down to newer generations as slaves, then how in the world will they ever gain their freedom?  Does the Bible believe in Freedom?  Does the Bible believe in liberating human beings from slavery?   Apparently it does not.

Let's compare this with the Noble Quran:

Noble Verse 24:33 "Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until God gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which God has given to you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is God, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them)," 

In this Noble Verse, we see that if a slave requests his freedom from his Muslim master, then his master not only must help him earn his freedom if there is good in the slave, but also pay him money so the slave can have a good start in his free life.   We also see in this Noble Verse that slaves are not to be forced into prostitution in anyway.

Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran Commands the Muslims to free their slaves if the slaves want to be free, and to pay them money too so they can have a good jump start in life.  In the Bible on the other hand, we see slaves not being allowed to be freed at all, and on the contrary, they and their children must be inherited forever.

3-  Conclusion:

Due to the ridiculous and constant attacks that the Christian and Western media bring on Islam, it is time to shed the Light of Truth!  Jihad is a Biblical practice before it is Islamic.  In Islam, we are Commanded to fight evil where ever it is and by all means!  It doesn't always have to be through swords and blood shed.  GOD Almighty Commanded the Muslims to fight hard using the Divine Truth of the Noble Quran:

"Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Quran).  (The Noble Quran, 25:52)"

"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: For thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.  (The Noble Quran, 16:125)"

The Bible as shown above is responsible for so much blood shed, pedophilia, murders and terrorism.  Yet, we don't see any Christian minister (who is very knowledgeable about the book) say anything about it.  But when Muslims do commit killing, such as what happened on 9/11, then Hell breaks loose and everyone becomes peaceful and a preacher, and Islam is the only evil thing out there, even though Islam is truly the BEST Peaceful and Just Divine Religion out there if it's practiced right.  Such hypocrisy, lies and deceptions by the ministers and other Islamphobics only survives with the "dumb, deaf and blind (2:18)" as Allah Almighty called them in the Noble Quran.  But to the reasonable and just people, the Truth is always realized, whether it is sooner or later.

Response #2:
(Jihad in Islam was only permitted against the HOSTILE enemy, and it is forbiden against the PEACEFUL non-Muslims!)

Jihad in Islam came for the hostile enemies only!  Those who fought the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and fought the Divine Truth of Allah Almighty had to be fought and they had to pay the consequences.  Otherwise, blood shed is forbidden:

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).  (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"

"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds.  (The Noble Quran, 5:28)"

"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers.  (The Noble Quran, 60:8)"

"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God.  But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers.  (The Noble Quran 2:193)"

"Let there be no compulsion in religion:  Truth stands out clear from error:  whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks.  And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.  (The Noble Quran, 2:256)"

"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam.   Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).  (The Noble Quran, 15:2-3)"

"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it):......(The Noble Quran, 18:29)"

"If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then COMPEL mankind, against their will, to believe!  (The Noble Quran, 10:99)"

"Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you.   If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance.  The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message).  (The Noble Quran, 24:54)"

"Say : O ye that reject Faith!  I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.  And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.   To you be your Way, and to me mine.  (The Noble Quran, 109:1-6)"

Jihad in Islam:

From http://www.answering-christianity.com/jihad.htm:

What is Jihad and laws of war in Islam?

The sections of this article are:

1-  What is Jihad?
2-  The laws of war in Islam.
3-  The treatment of prisoners of war in Islam.
4-  Did Islam spread by the sword?  If so, was that Jihad?

1-  What is Jihad?

Jihad means struggling in the name of Allah Almighty.  Jihad doesn't always mean a war or battle.  Any mean for spreading Islam and the Truth, or to fight for what is right and condemn what is wrong (such as fighting the bad and helping the oppressed even if they were not Muslims) are considered Jihad.

I am doing Jihad right now by maintaining my web site, because it is a tool that can be used for spreading Islam and the Truth.  And because it is also a Media tool, it could be used for fighting for what is right and condemning what is wrong.

Islam is not a religion of arms and swords!  When Allah Almighty revealed the Noble Quran to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and Muhammad became the Messenger of GOD Almighty, Muhammad had to spread Islam to 365 Pagan Arab Tribes.  These tribes showed so much hostility toward the Muslims and Islam, and have imposed so many battles against the Muslims. 

Later, when Islam was the religion of what we call today Saudi Arabia, and the 365 Pagan Arab tribes mostly converted to Islam, the Muslims had to yet face another type of challenge.

The Nuclear Soviet Union and the United States of America of our days were the Great Empires of the Christian Romans and the Pagan Persians.  If you know geography and history well enough, then you would see that the Muslims were trapped between those two big Super Powers.

Hostility and Battles from those two Empires were imposed upon the Muslims.  For instance, when our Prophet peace be upon him sent his messenger to "Kisrah", the Emperor of Persia, introducing Islam to him, Kisrah ordered for the Muslims' Messenger to be executed!

Back then, like today, this was considered a coward act.  It was the Persians who showed the hostility toward the Muslims and declared the many battles against Islam.

The Christian Romans weren't any better.  For instance, in one of their many battles against the Muslims is when they saw the threat to their religion in the Middle East, the King "Herucl", sent out an army of 100,000 men and ordered them to go to "Madina" in what we call today Saudi Arabia to destroy Islam once and for all.

The Muslims were not stable yet at that time, and they only sent out an army of 3,000 men at that time to drive the Christian Romans away from Madina.  The battle was named "The battle of Mo'ta" and it took place in Mo'ta, Jordan today.

The Muslims' plan was to meet the Christian Romans far away from Madina, and to have them stray away from Madina.  The army of 3,000 men was successful enough to fight the Christian Romans for few days and then to pull away from the battle and headed South of Jordan.  The Romans strayed away from Madina and the small army of the Muslims was able to run away through the mountains.  More than half of the 3,000 Muslims however were killed in this operation.

The point is that Islam didn't spread by sword with much choice.  The wars were imposed upon the Muslims. The Muslims didn't ask for those wars. 

Islam is a Religion of Love and Peace and Forgiveness [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him never took any personal revenge from anyone.

What does the Qu'ran say about violence?  Why does the Noble Quran contain Verses that command the Muslims to fight?  See the justified and good reasons behind it.

In regards to Jihad and fighting the hostile enemy, Allah Almighty Made it crystal clear in the Noble Quran about being peaceful to ordinary and peaceful non-Muslims, and being very hostile to the hostile enemy:

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.  (The Noble Quran, 5:32)"

"Those who invoke not, with God, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.  (But) the Penalty on the Day Of Judgement will be doubled To him, and he will dwell Therein in ignominy.  (The Noble Quran, 25:68-69)" 

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).  (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"

"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds.  (The Noble Quran, 5:28)"

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).  (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"

"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds.  (The Noble Quran, 5:28)"

"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers.  (The Noble Quran, 60:8)"

"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God.  But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers.  (The Noble Quran 2:193)"

"Let there be no compulsion in religion:  Truth stands out clear from error:  whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks.  And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.  (The Noble Quran, 2:256)"

"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam.   Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).  (The Noble Quran, 15:2-3)"

"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it):......(The Noble Quran, 18:29)"

"If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then COMPEL mankind, against their will, to believe!  (The Noble Quran, 10:99)"

"Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you.   If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance.  The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message).  (The Noble Quran, 24:54)"

"Say : O ye that reject Faith!  I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.  And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.  To you be your Way, and to me mine.  (The Noble Quran, 109:1-6)"

The reason for "Jihad" Noble Verses:

The so-called "Jihad" Noble Verses came for specific times and places.  They don't apply for all times and everybody!  I can't slay you, a non-Muslim, just because you're not a Muslim.  The pagan Arabs were very hostile people and only knew the sword as an answer.  Many wars were imposed upon the Muslims, and thus, it is only normal and natural to find Noble Verses that deal with these specific hostile situations.  But the Message of the Noble Quran is PEACE, as clearly proven in Noble Verses 2:190, 8:61 and 5:28 above.

2-  The laws of war in Islam:

Muslims are forbidden from attacking others who do not attack them:

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

Fighting in the cause of GOD Almighty those who fight us is what "Jihad" is all about.  I can't go and kill a non-Muslim just because he is a non-Muslim.  That is absolutely forbidden in Islam:

"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.  (Noble Quran 5:32)"

"Those who invoke not, with God, any other god, nor slay such life as God has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.  (But) the Penalty on the Day Of Judgement will be doubled To him, and he will dwell Therein in ignominy.  (The Noble Quran, 25:68-69)" 

Jihad can only be declared when the Muslims are attacked.   Muslims are not allowed to attach those who do not attack them.  And even when war breaks out, if the enemy offers an honest peace, then we should accept it and end the blood shed:

"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).  (The Noble Quran, 8:61)" 

And if a treaty of peace was made, then we must honor that treaty to the end:

"Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If God had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then God Hath opened no way for you (to war against them).   (The Noble Quran, 4:90)"

"How can there be a league, before God and His Apostle, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for God doth love the righteous.  (The Noble Quran, 9:7)" 

3-  The treatment of prisoners of war in Islam:

Please visit Can Muslims torture prisoners of war?

4-  Did Islam spread by the sword?  If so, was that Jihad?

Please visit Why did Muhammad take up arms and Christ didn't?  Why did Islam spread by the sword if it were indeed a Religion of Truth, and Christianity didn't?  Jesus killed his enemies.

The Muslims did not start any battle with anyone.  It was the infidels from the 365 Arab Pagan tribes, and later the Persian and Roman Empires who waged wars against the Muslims.  So, yes, since the Muslims were not the aggressors, then this was Jihad; "Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.  (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"

Response #3:

Killing the children and women is not permissible in Islam, and further proven in points #1 & 2 above.  The following scenario was an exception:

Bukhari:V4B52N256 “The Prophet passed by and was asked whether it was permissible to attack infidels at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, ‘Their women and children are from them.’”

The raid had to be done.  It was an important event.  Unfortunately, the women and children at that raid were in the way.  The Prophet, peace be upon him, saw that fighting must continue because of the bigger cause.

Jihad in Islam prohibits killing of innocent children, women and men who are not armed or those who drop their arms.  This is clearly proven at:

What is Jihad and the laws of war in Islam?

Peaceful Jihad through the Noble Quran and preaching Islam.

Jihad - Striving for the Cause of Allah Almighty.

Can Muslims torture prisoners of war?

Below we will see how the Bible killed CAPTIVE children and women, and not just children and women who happened to be in the way during a battle:

Again, look at the inhumane Murders and Terrorism in the Bible by its Prophets:

    The next day was hotter than usual. It was April 20th 630 A.D. As the sun rose, men gathered to talk about their plight. Tabari IX:42 “Amr said, ‘We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.” Islam had arrived and conquered. Anarchy was the result. It still is.
    So Muhammad and his less-than-inspired band of thugs set out in search of unplundered territory. Tabari IX:46 “In this year, the Messenger carried out a military expedition to Tabuk.” Tabuk was a Christian settlement in Byzantine Syria. They had done nothing to earn Muhammad’s wrath. They were simply a target—the nearest untapped source of booty. Ishaq:602 “The Apostle ordered Muslims to prepare for a military expedition so that he could raid the Byzantines.” It would be the largest and best-equipped army Allah’s Messenger would ever lead. Thirty thousand militants heeded the call to arms. Muhammad proclaimed: “The treasures of Caesar have been given to me by conquest.”
    Tabari IX:48 “Muhammad wanted the people to be fully prepared so he informed them that his objective was the Byzantines. The Muslims disliked the idea because of their respect for their fighting ability.” But Muhammad had invested much of his last and final surah to demeaning Christians and ordering Muslims to fight them, humiliate them, mutilate them, tax them, enslave them, and even crucify them. He couldn’t let all of that wonderful godly inspiration go to waste.
    The pirates, however, weren’t inspired. They wanted easy booty, not war. Tabari IX:49 “One of the hypocrites, [a peaceful former Muslim], feeling an aversion to battle, being skeptical of the truth, and spreading false rumors about Muhammad, said that they should not go out in the heat. With regard to him, Allah revealed: ‘They said, “Do not march out in the heat.” Say, “The heat of hell is far more intense.”’” The message was nasty: “Obey my order to fight and plunder or my god will roast you in hell.”
    Tabari IX:49 “Muhammad urged the Muslims by way of a meeting to help cover the expenses of Allah’s Cause. The men provided mounts in anticipation of Allah’s reward.” Once again, we see that neither preaching, evangelism, nor salvation entered the picture. These men weren’t off on a religious crusade. “Allah’s Cause” was armed robbery. And frankly, such behavior would be inexcusable even if it only happened once in the presence of the prophet or during the formation Islam. But Muhammad’s militants were in a rut. They had fought for no other reason.
    If we were to remove immoral, illegal, hateful, and violent verses from the Hadith and Qur’an, all we’d have left would be an odd collection of plagiarized and twisted Bible stories. Bad simply overwhelms good in Islam. To believe Muhammad is as foolish as protecting the doctrine he inspired.
    Ishaq:602 “The Apostle always referred allusively to the destination which he intended to raid. This was the sole exception, for he said plainly that he was making for the Byzantines because the journey was long, the weather was hot, and the enemy was strong.” No Byzantine had threatened Muhammad. Calling them “the enemy” simply confirms that all non-Muslims are Islam’s foe. But there is another lesson here. Today, Muslims scream with shrill voices that the Christian Crusaders attacked Muslims without provocation. Yet their own scriptures confirm that Islam drew first blood, and that Muslims invaded and conquered Christians.
    But it’s worse than that. Christianity had permeated what is now Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and Egypt by the time Muhammad decided to plunder these people. Christ’s message appealed to human hearts and minds by virtue of his words. Within a decade of the Tabuk raid, Islam would lay all of that to ruin, attacking, conquering, and taxing the once free people who occupied these places. Islam imposed its will by violent assault.
    On this day, Muhammad discovered that even after promising that Allah would reward Muslims with booty beyond their dreams, most Arabs were skeptical. Tabari IX:50 “When the Prophet was prepared to set off, a number of Muslims, whose intentions had prevented them from following the Messenger, lagged behind without any doubts or misgivings.” Those who knew Muhammad much better than we do recognized the obvious. There was no doubt in their minds that Islam’s founder was a money-grubbing con, a mean-spirited thug who was out for himself.
    Here’s an example, up close and personal: Ishaq:602 “Jadd told Muhammad, ‘Will you allow me to stay behind and not tempt me? Everyone knows that I am strongly addicted to women. I’m afraid that I’ll see Byzantine women and will not be able to control myself.’” This suggests that Muhammad “tempted” Muslims to fight, and that he offered them captured women as booty. “The Apostle gave him permission to remain behind.” In other words, he didn’t want the competition. “It was about him that Allah sent down: ‘There are some who say: “Give me leave to stay behind and do not tempt me.” Surely they have fallen into temptation already and hell encompasses these unbelievers.’ (9:49) It was not that he feared the temptation from the Byzantine women. The temptation he had fallen into was greater in that he had hung back from the Apostle and sought to please himself rather than Muhammad. Verily hell awaits him.” There are three messages here and all are bad. Being “tempted” to rape is a lesser offense than being a pacifist. The highest calling in Islam is to “please Muhammad.” And, if you don’t fight, you go to hell.
    If you are a peaceful Muslim your god hates you, and he wants to punish you. Ishaq:603 “One of the estranged ones said to another, ‘Don’t go out to fight in this heat.’ He disliked strenuous war, doubted the truth, and created misgivings about the Apostle. So Allah sent down regarding them, ‘And they said, “Do not go out in this heat.” Say, “The fires of hell are hotter. Let them laugh a little now for they will weep a great deal later as a reward for what they did.’” You will find this gem buried in the 82nd verse of “The Feast” surah. A related Hadith says: Ishaq:603 “Some Bedouins came to apologize for not going into battle, but Allah would not accept their excuses.”
    Ishaq:603 “The Apostle went forward energetically with his preparations and ordered the men to get ready with all speed. He urged Muslims to help provide the money, mounts, and means to do Allah’s work. Those who contributed earned rewards with Allah.” This is why Islamic despots like the Saudi warlords fund terrorism. But those who have tried to cash in their reward aren’t happy with the deal they struck.
    Like all pirates, Muhammad had to constantly watch his backside. Tabari IX:51 “Ali seized his weapons and set off until he caught up with Muhammad. ‘The hypocrites allege that you left me behind because you found me burdensome and wanted to get rid of me.’ He replied, ‘They lied. I left you behind because of what I have left behind. So go back and represent me in my family.’” The kind of men who were willing to rob were just as likely to pick his pockets. So the pirate king told his son and son-in-law, “Don’t let them steal my booty or my babes.”
    The first Muslims didn’t care much for the prophet’s company. Tabari IX:55 “The Messenger continued his march but his men began to fall behind. The Prophet said, ‘Leave them, for if there is any good in them, Allah will unite them [with the rest of his pirates]; if not, Allah has relieved you of them.” So the quasi-peaceful Muslims died of exposure, hunger, and thirst.
    Tabari IX:57 “A band of hypocrites…going along with the Prophet as he was marching toward Tabuk said, ‘Do you think that fighting these people will be like the others we have fought? It looks to me as if we will be tied with ropes tomorrow.’ They said this in order to intimidate and frighten the faithful. But then they said, ‘Every one of us would rather be flogged a hundred lashes to escape Allah revealing a verse about us and what we have said.’” One of the Muslim snitches ratted out these men to his general. So the chief pirate turned in his saddle and confronted the bad Muslims. They protested, “‘O Prophet, we were simply playing and speaking nonsense.’ Then Allah sent down a Qur’an about them. ‘And if you question them, then assuredly they will say, “We were only speaking nonsense and playing.”’” (Qur’an 9:65) Ishaq:607 “Abd Ar-Rahman, the man for whom the Qur’an had been sent down, said, ‘O Apostle, my name disgraces me.’” The rock idol Ar-Rahman was no longer vogue. And it’s one more proof that Ar-Rahman was not merely a title, or attribute, for Allah.
    But this wasn’t a game to Muhammad; it was a scam. He had business to conduct. Tabari IX:58 “When the Messenger reached Tabuk the governor of Aylah [a seaport at the north end of the Gulf of Aqabah] came to him, made a treaty, and agreed to pay the jizyah tax. The people of Jarba and Adhruh also offered to pay him the tax.” It was Muhammad’s favorite verse: “Gimme da money.” Not a word was spoken about summoning them to Islam. Muhammad wasn’t out with his troops being religious. He didn’t bother calling the lost heathens to faith. No. He just wanted their money. This man wasn’t a prophet. He was a pirate. H
