    Hi friends

    It is a wrong notion that Islam spread with sword or bloodshed. Islam never needed it; Islam’s brilliant teachings are sufficient to convince anybody for its natural spread.

    This can be well observed from the following article:

    Islam in India

    From New World Encyclopedia

    Islam in India constitutes the second-most practiced religion after Hinduism, with approximately 151 million Muslims in India's population as of 2007 (according to government census 2001), i.e., 13.4 percent of the population.[1] Currently, India has the third largest population of Muslims in the world, after Indonesia and Pakistan.

    Islam in India has had a fascinating, and powerful impact. Indeed, Islam has become woven into the very fabric of Indian civilization and culture. Muslims arrived in India during the life of Muhammad the Prophet, establishing mosques and organizing missionary endeavors in the seventh century C.E.

    Those missionary efforts proved successful, rooting Islam firmly into Indian life. As often happens with missionary movements from all religions, merchant and trade endeavors went hand in hand with missionary work. Arabs had had a presence in India before the birth of Muhammad. That probably facilitated making inroads for Islam, since Arab traders established in India who converted to Islam already had a base of operations established.

        Hi friend teacher crmhaske

        I did not understand your above sentece; Please elaborate further for me.

        Pakistan or Saudi Arabia do not represent Quran/Islam/Muhammad.For the teachings of a religion; its roots are to be seen. There are no teachings of Quran to fight for conversion to Islam.

      This spreading in India came later , earlier it was by the sword, convert or get beheaded and so the Parsees fled and came to India.

      Indian or Hindus is  the most broad mined religion which engulfs truth no matter where it come from,this  why the Sufi mystics were respected and welcomed in India.

          The politiacal wars were done laterby the rulers never representing Islam/Quran/Muhammad while Islam had already established in India earlier ; Islam/Quran/Muhammad had not instructed for the same, for spread of Islam.

            They did arrive in India.  YOU are correct in that, however, there was NOTHING PEACEFUL ABOUT IT.  They raped, pillage, plunder and killed people to establish there so called "peaceful religion."

            You know- YOU really need to start being realistic and if you are going to continue to make post like this, YOU need to stop lying to the general public.  There was NOTHING peaceful about the MUSLIM invasion into India.

            A truly peaceful person, would make note of that, and then............, spread the word of peaceful intentions.  When you make these kind of notations, you are nothing more than a lying baboon.  When you make accurate HISTORICALLY correct ramblings, then you look intelligent and like a true person with a heart, spreading peace and helping those who do not understand what your religion is suppose to be about.  Maybe if you start speaking TRUTHFULLY, maybe people will receive your message better.

            Try the truth peaceful whatever your name is, it does serve the greater good.

              Hi friend  IntimatEvolution

              I think you are confusing peaceful spread of Islam with the political spread of Muslims. The politicians and rulers make wars 'in the name of religion' to rally people around them for their own benefit; the religion is not to be blamed for it; if it has not authorised for it in the roots of its teachings; ie in Quran for Muslims.

              Please see the things in true perspective; they did things without any lawful authority from Quran/Islam/Muhammad. Quran/Islam/Muhammad did not harm even a single person, name just one such person, for forcible conversion to Islam.

              Hi friend mohitmisra

              It might have been only due to the love of their Parsee religion and apprehension that they might be forced to leave their religion.

              It is many years ago that I read a book of about 300/400 page written by a Parsee Dastur; I have forgotten his name; he wrote that the Arabs at that time were the most democratic people and they succeeded because the Sassanid empire had already ruined its spirit and the society got corrupted.

              Muhammad did not force anybody to convert to his religion; he did not kill anybody to convert to his religion. In fact he upheld freedom of religion and freedom of expression more than it is now in the West. It was the power or gravitational pull of his character, his morals and his teachings that people rallied around him. Those who belong to the powers that be did not accept him and were afraid that he would turn everything upside down; it was only their fear he had no such intention.
              Muhammad did not attack Persia; in fact he loved Nausherwan the Just and was proud of being born in his time, Hejaz was under subjugation of Persia; who had a governor in Yemen.

              It was at a later time that it happened; not in Muhammad’s time or under his direct orders ; so it is beside the point of our discussion. We restrict ourselves to the roots only.

                Why would anyone undertake such a perilous journey if they were safe in their place. Many went into hiding in the mountains and caves and surfaced when things had cooled down, the beheading.

                I agree Muhammad never forced anyone , the master stood for religious tolerance.The problem is the metaphors and depth of the holy passages have been taken literally at times and been misconstrued.

                Muhammad was a great Prophet like Jesus but sadly their teachings have led to a lot of bloodshed and wars with zealots Christians and Muslims.

            Is this a joke or something ? My city was blasted by islamics few month earlier. With people like zakir naik and mujahadin group you are telling me that islam is spreading peacefully ? have you heard about miraj riot which happened in india recently ? heard of 26/11 ? islamics were never peaceful, not in past and not presently. Even your preaching in this forums is offensive just to shove islam down on the rest of the members and to increase the irritating feeling in others.

        Here is a webpage that discusses this topic.

        http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran … s-jews.htm

        I think this really clears things up so.

        So Mr. Ahmadi peaceful Muslim. I have noticed that whenever you reply to someone's topic you start with "Hi "FRIEND" "name""

        I highly recommend that you stop using the word Friend when referring to Christians and/or Jews. Because Allah has clearly asked you to not make Christians and Jews friends. And if you disobey his wish, then you know where you are gonna end up. Ya, you got it right. You will be Satan's b****.

        On a more serious note. You don't understand the concept of reading things with an open mind. And from what I know it's not your fault. It is literally impossible for a Muslim to see things from an open mind.

        Let me try to explain you something. When you read something, you are always looking for points and phrases that support your belief. To read something from an open mind will mean you to stop believing in Allah for the moment. Stop believing that Muhammad was the greatest prophet of all times. Now I am not saying that you stop believing these things forever. But just do it for the moment, when you are reading other people's arguments.

        But I know that you will never be able to do so. Because according to your belief system, if you stop believing in Allah even for a second, you will be doomed to burn in hell for eternity. This is the fear that stops you from learning anything that does not support Islam. You just refuse to accept it because if you do, you will be going to hell.

        So in short, what I am saying is get your head out of your a$$.

    You can tout all your foolish notions to you heart's content. But saying that Islam spread "peacefully" in India goes beyond mere foolishness.

    But I can understand that. After all, there are no history lessons in Madrassas. Everyone knows what books you "study" there.

    They killed hundreds and thousands of innocent women and children in the name of peace and God.

        I don't need to google anything.  They didn't.  They killed hundreds of thousand.  Instead of googling, why don't you read your own religions sacred text and historical accounts, from the people who invaded India.

        Not much into studying are you?  Google it.  Please.  Read it on the ancient skin hides, and parchment paper it was written on centuries ago.  Google it.  Whatever.

    Islam in Kerala and Tamil Nadu

    Malik Ibn Dinar and 20 other followers of Prophet Muhammad, first landed in Kodungallur in Kerala. Islam received royal patronage in some states here, and later spread to other parts of India. A local ruler gifted Dinar an abandoned Jain temple, where he established the first mosque in the Indian subcontinent in 629 C.E. Islamic scholars consider the mosque the second in the world to offer Jumma Prayer after the mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. His missionary team built ten additional mosques along the Malabar coast, including Kollam, Chaliyam, Pantalayini Kollam/Quilandi, Madayi/Pazhayangadi, Srikandhapuram, Dharmadom, Kasaragode,Mangalore, and Barkur. Reportedly, they built the mosques at Chombal, Kottayam, Poovar and Thengapattanam during that period.

    After the fall of Chola Dynasty, the newly formed Vijayanagara Empire invited the Seljuk Turks from the fractions of Hanafi (known as Rowther in South India) for trade relations in 1279 C.E.. The largest armada of Turks traders and missionaries settled in Tharangambadi (Nagapattinam), Karaikal, Muthupet, Koothanallur and Podakkudi. Turks (Rowthers), failing to convert Hindus in Tanjore regions, settled in that area's with their armada, expanding into an Islam community of almost one million Rowthers. These new settlements were now added to the Rowther community. Hanafi fractions, more closely connected with the Turkish than others in South, have fair complexions. Some Turkish Anatolian and Turkish Safavid inscriptions have been found in wide area from Tanjore to Thiruvarur and in many villages. Madras Museum display the inscriptions to the public.

    In the 1300 C.E., Arabs settled in Nagore, Kilakkarai, Adirampattinam, Kayalpatnam, Erwadi and Sri Lanka. They may have been the first Shafi fractions community of Islam, known as Marakkar, in far south and coastal areas of South India. Shafi fractions also have mixed fair and darker complexion from their close connection with the Arabs. Arab traders opened many new villages in those areas and settles, conducting intensive missionary activities along the coast. A number of natives in Malaya and Indonesia embraced Islam. Arabs (Marakkar's) missionaries married local women, converting them to Islam. The Marakkars became one of the largest Islamic communities with almost 2.5 million peoples.
    Sufism and spread of Islam


    The Masjid-i-Jahan Numa

    Sufis played an important role in the spread of Islam in India. Their success in spreading Islam has been attributed to the parallels in Sufi belief systems and practices with Indian philosophical literature, in particular nonviolence and monism. The Sufis' unorthodox approach towards Islam made it easier for Hindus to accept the faith. Hazrat Khawaja Muin-ud-din Chisti, Nizam-ud-din Auliya, Shah Jalal, Amir Khusro, Sarkar Sabir Pak, and Waris Pak trained Sufis for the propagation of Islam in different parts of India.

    Once the Islamic Empire firmly established in India, Sufis invariably provided a touch of color and beauty to what might have otherwise been rather cold and stark reigns. The Sufi movement also attracted followers from the artisan and untouchable communities; they played a crucial role in bridging the distance between Islam and the indigenous traditions. Evidence of fanatical and violent conversions carried out by Sufi Muslims exists. Ahmed Sirhindi, Naqshbandi Sufi passionately advocated peaceful conversion of Hindus to Islam.

    And to troubled man dude you really seems to be in trouble because if you would have read the history form authentic source you wouldn't be saying these words.I am a born muslim but wasn't so serious about religion but recently  I have researched a bit and just fall in love with islam.I would suggest you that its good if you want to read because it will ultimately lead you to what I am saying but just be logical and don't hear from others go through history read it and believe me you will love it.

      Sorry, but no one is torturing me or my family, nor do I know or have ever known anyone whose family has been tortured. Does that happen to you, often? Are there other Muslims who are torturing you? Does it happen daily, weekly, monthly, what?



      History calls what Muslims have done, "The Muslim Conquests" which means Muslims conquered the known world back then only to kill anyone who didn't accept Islam. Those Muslims were told by Allah to kill, and they did, just like you said you would kill if Allah told you to kill.

    I don't know what the condition was there and you must remember Islam is perfect our beloved Prophet is perfect but muslims are not perfect you cannot judge Islam on the basis of the one following it but you should go for what it teaches.
    And the thing you saying that its given in Quran and you know it so for that I have already told you the condition His wife and daughter and many companions died and they still attacked them.
    In begining they show patience because they were ordered to and then they fight when they were ordered to.
    And what you know about Islam its the only religion which taught rules even in times of war like you can't kill females nor children you cannot cut trees you cannot break houses and many more.
    Whats your slogan for fight "there's no rule in love and war" so I think its quite clear who is peaceful.

      Rad Manposted 10 years agoin reply to this

      It appears to me from the Quran that if you are a peaceful Muslim you are not a good muslim, but if you are in fact peaceful you are a good person, but a bad Muslim.

      Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home).

      Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

      Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

      Quran (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"


      Now to your point of the rules of war.

      Bukhari (52:256) - The Prophet... was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)."

      Muslim (19:4321-4323) - Three separate hadith in which Muhammad shrugs over the news that innocent children were killed in a raid by his men against unbelievers.  His response: "They are of them (meaning the enemy)."


      To make matters worse.

      Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 327: - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

      Both have shown only conflict and war. We judge Islam on things their followers would do and say, like killing other people because your god told you to kill.



      If a religion teaches you what to do in war, then it is a religion of war and should be banned.

        Hello Troubled Man, May God’s Peace and Blessings be upon you:

        The moral questions surrounding war are is it necessary? Are all avenues to avoid exhausted? Is it justified? What are the moral grounds? And code of conduct during war is important. How do we treat POWs? Are reasonable attempts at ceasing hostilities made? How the victorious should behave with rights due to the conquered. Why would a moral code, which is what religion enjoins upon us, not address these points? I believe all religions in some manner touch upon the concept of war. Take the event of AD 70 destruction of Jerusalem as prophesized by Jesus (pbuh) by the Romans through an act of war. Most commentators agree that this was a punishment and an act of God. How do you view this event?

        And, why should those on the right side of a war not fight with vigor and valor and bravery when protecting morality and rights and freedoms enjoined by God Almighty as emphasized in the Holy Quran.

        I don’t know what you religious or philosophical orientation is, perhaps you would care to elaborate. But, you apparently harbor a terrible hatred for Islam and Muslims. With the acts of some so-called Muslims today I cannot fully blame you.

        If you are truly studying history, I would urge you to consider Muhammd’s (pbuh) conquest of Mecca when he forbade any form of revenge or atrocity against those who had severely persecuted him and fought wars against him. He never even took revenge against the town of Taif where he was stoned out bleeding when he went there to preach. Look into the Caliph Omar’s conquest of Jerusalem when he resurrected the shrine of Solomon, restored the city and permitted Jews to re-settle there and resume their holy patronage of Jerusalem. Consider when Saladin conquered Jerusalem back from the Christian Crusaders who had slaughtered every defenseless Muslim there upon their conquest. Historians and eye-witnesses from the time chronicled the scenes as ‘eyes dazed at the streets running with rivers of blood’. Yet Saladin again took no revenge and instead offered safe haven exit to the Christians in the city fearful of revenge. Now, I am sure there are stories of a violent nature too by Muslim conquerors. But this is not about religious doctrine. These are acts of people and by applying religious doctrine we can determine if they are acting according to religious teaching or out of political/selfish gain or some warped misinterpretation of selected isolated verses of scripture.

          Thanks, but I don't want anything from your God other than to disappear entirely.



          No, it creates them and provides all the necessary moral grounds for war, along with the intolerance, hatred and oppression Islam provides.



          Many do, that's why they must be rejected.



          Religiously indoctrinated beliefs controlling humans causing good people to do bad things, just like Islam.



          Because, those who believe that any side of a war is the right side in the name of their God are not brave or valorous, they are liars and cowards.



          All religions should go the way of the dodo.



          No, I don't, I simply understand Islam causes conflict and wars, hence it should be banned.

            Sir, you may wish for and hate and despise all that you care to. You can choose to accept all the examples of history that serve your psyche and reject all that don’t-- that has nothing to do with rationality, knowledge, and truth. Your stance in light of what people have done in the name of religion is perhaps understandable. But hatred, bias and innuendo achieve naught. If you are averse to conventional religion, I hope you still reflect on life, nature and the cosmos with a view that there has to be an All-Powerful God capable of such inscrutable creation. And where could one’s salvation lie other than with one’s creator.

            I hope we can find some common ground.

                I see. God and religion are children’s fantasy. Nature is the way. The laws of nature and biological organisms just happened to form themselves. Trees, plants, and the earth just happened to figure how to produce fruit and vegetables nutritious to independent biological organisms. Atmospheric pressure and blood-pressure just ‘happened’ to calibrate themselves so we can function on earth. Trees just happened to figure out that they better recycle carbon monoxide back into oxygen so human lungs can keep consuming oxygen and exhale carbon monoxide. Gravity created itself so the universe could function. Genetics just happened to figure out codes and information that provide instructions to biological cells in a highly complex system that produces biological organisms like human beings. Conscience and emotion are also perhaps just arbitrary phenomena that came about on their own. Let us leave all that aside for now.

                Please answer me this question. Per my note above, if the teaching of Islam and Quran are nothing but hatred and bias then why would Muhammad (pbuh) forgive the Meccans he conquered? Why did the Caliph Omar rebuild Jerusalem and honor the Jewish heritage there? Why did Saladin forgive the Christians who had massacred Muslims in Jerusalem?

                Can you please specifically answer this question-- If Islam is about violence and hatred, why would these Muslims personalities behave in such way?

                    I never assumed. You assumed that I assumed. Indeed, God’s creatures are co-inhabitants of this universe and they deserve every respect as such, even cockroaches. I would say He created the universe for us all. But given all the faculties that we have been endowed with it wouldn’t be out of order to say we are favored.

                    Your second paragraph doesn’t make sense. Are you trying to say ‘conquered’, instead of ‘concurred’ ?? If so, in case of Muhammad(pbuh), Omar (who was Muhammad’s companion), and Saladin—they all came to rule those who ruled them (in Saladin’s case he was one or two generations after the Muslims who were massacred by crusaders in Jerusalem but the event given its gravity was very fresh for those of his time). I think the acts of Muhammad (pbuh), Omar, and Saladin count as greater validation for Islam than the miscreant in London destined to go down in history as nothing more than a murderer.

                    The thing is that The Quran doesn’t say if you grow a beard, recite verses, are able to shout ‘Allah-o-Akbar’ and commit crimes then you are still good to go. In fact, it says that there are certain people who supposedly pray and give charity that are still hell-bound. It prophesizes that people will abandon the teachings of the Quran. It teaches that if you don’t study and follow the Quran but follow clerics blindly then these things will happen. It explains what begets evil and what begets goodness.

                    If you want to equate such people as the so-called British Muslim with Muhammad (pbuh), Omar, and Saladin, so be it. If you want to pull every news item on miscreants calling themselves Muslims and link it to Islam, it yours. If the media is your Bible, so be it. But if you want to study The Quran and supplicate to the Creator to manifest as sign for you if He is out there, then that is your call too.

                    n the end, it’s your own choice and my own choice.  If God exists and He is out there and He has created a criteria that leads to a Heaven or a Hell, then we will see it. Simple.

    Quran (4:95)-First its not for those who are disabled.
    Now it refers to those who did not go to the battle of Badr and those who went to Badr.
    Just check out what happens in battle of badr.The muslims were appx 300 and pagans were 3000 so sir I don't think you are trying to say 300 who all are not even fighter by profession neither have much military aid standing in front of 3000 trained military with best weapons exploited them and do wrong with them.Com'mon try to be logical if you  have ans reply.
    It was a test from ALLAH that who are strong in  their faith,do you think that ALLAH needs them to punish the pagans no way He was testing the Muslims.

    By the way amer786 Assalamwalaikum
    Now Rad man next ayah which you have posted
    Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

    This is the translation written by you I am not editing it.
    You yourself has written the word punishment.
    Punish in cambridge advanced learner's dictionary means-    to cause someone who has done something wrong or committed a crime to suffer, by hurting them, forcing them to pay money, sending them to prison, etc.
    And then you have written wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land, so sir where is your mind I feel you are in favour of Islam you yourself is quoting the crime and the punishment.
    What you think ALLAH has created you and everything that exist and will leave it to do what it wills,no He has created us to worship Him and to obey Him and we will be rewarded or punished according to our acts.
    The thing is simple and clear but people don't agree because then you have to refrain from many of your ill desires like drinking alcohol and many others.
    And you have also mentioned that I may be a peaceful person but not good muslim but that's can be true as Islam means -
    1)Surrender to ALLAH
    2)Submission to His command
    3)Obedience to Quran and  Sunnah
    4)Sincerity in heart
    5)Peace
    and my aim is to be a good muslim.

      Walikum salaam Shariquerasheed92, and Jazakallah for your comment.

      It is only reflective on the people who care to pull four or five verses out of 6,348 in The Holy Quran to serve their view. This only reflects their own shallowness and hollow perspectives. They will never point to the myriad pledges, treaties, accords, pacts etc. that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his companions secured in order to promote peace, harmony and mutual respect. These are known to the first acts of a federation-like constitution that promoted social order. They will not bring up the 'Charter of Privileges' delivered to St. Catherine's Monastery  at Mt. Sinai instructing all Muslims never to bring down a Church or cause ill to Christians on the basis of religion. And as you rightly pointed out that the few verses of the Quran that their vision is limited to also have great context. These conflicts with disbelievers occurred to uphold freedom of religion, human rights, justice, and a social order that was fair to all not just the privileged tribes of Mecca. Naturally, these feudal tribes with their pagan orders wanted to destroy Islam before it made a foothold. And they made great endeavors to raise armies and conspiracies to destroy Islam. They did not want to lose their power system through feudalism, idolatry, and dictatorial rule with no regard for law, justice and order. But, since Muhammad (pbuh) was from among them, and he made the call that he was a messenger of the Almighty creator of Heavens and Earth, how could this not strike terror in their hearts. Surely, the creator of the Heavens and Earth can grant his messenger victory in the battlefield.

      Regrettably, the so-called Muslims of this age are to blame as well. 

      I urge people to undertake due study and build due perspective. Rejecting a religion and its scripture is anyone's right. But reading four verses out of 6,000+ to cast verdict is more like the terrorists than upholders of freedom. It is unintelligent, devoid of knowledge and perspective. It dishonors and disregards freedom and dignity itself.

        That is not true, it is Muhammad who raised armies from his followers to destroy those who didn't accept Islam.



        Muhammad was a liar, a fraud and a despot. He was no messenger, he was a murderer.



        It doesn't matter how many verses one uses out of the Quran, that is entirely irrelevant. If those verses cannot stand on their own, then they are useless.

    I don't understand after reading this ayah and even believing in it  how have you not reverted to Islam.
    This ayah is also revealed at the time of war the muslims were few and the disbelieverare many and the conditions was same as I had mentioned earlier so ALLAH helped them by casting terror in the hearts of disbeliever so that muslims can win.
    Now the point is as you had said there is only nature than how ALLAH cast terror in their hearts.
    Just imagine casting terror in the heart of a much bigger army standing against smaller army only our Creator can do as He have the complete control.

    As I have told you this world is a test for everyone of us and ALLAH has send Quran for our guidance.
    So here is the guideline that what jews said and what christians sayis false as ALLAH has made clear that He has not taken anyone as son so He is telling us the punishment which we would have to go if we believed in what jews and christian believed.
    If your teacher tells you in advance that if you fail you will not graduate neither get job and have to suffer so prepare for exam will you say my teacher he just hates me or you will say he is good he had given me advice in advance or later I shall suffer.

    [Numbers 31:17-18]

    And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
    [Ezekiel 9:5-6]

    And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
    [Joshua 6:17-21]

    Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
    [1 Samuel 15:3]

    Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

      Answer for what? Idiots who follow other humans blindly has killed through out the centuries. At present the major chunk of violence is by the followers of islam. As long as people follow nonsense perpetuated by religions there is bound to be conflict.
      Evolved from apes? That depends on what you mean by "ape". But certainly I'm not 'created' by a violent raving maniac.

        The line you are quoting is a translation I would tell you what it means and by the way when the verse was revealed earth was considered as flat so how could a person from arab could exactly define the shape of earth if it was not revealed from god to him,have any common sense than use it.
        The line you quoted  Sura 79:30 reads

            Wal'arda ba'da dhalika dahaha
        The key word in the above verse is “dahaha”. In Arabic, there is a phrase, “iza dahaha” which means “when he throws the stones over the ground to the hole”. The hole is called “Udhiyatun”. “Almadahi” signify round stones according to the size of which a hole is dug in the ground in which the stones are thrown in a game. “Almadahi” also signify a round thing made of lead by the throwing of which persons contend together. So there is a signification of ROUNDNESS in the root of the word “dahaha”. According to some etymologists, the word for the “egg of an ostrich” also has the same root as “dahaha”. They also take from this that the earth is of the shape of the egg of an ostrich. Latest science findings confirm that the earth is not exactly spherical but the earth is an ellipsoid, i.e. flattened by its poles,[ just like the shape of an egg of an ostrich].
        Now any other question Mr peaceful radical.

      I said islam is the major violent religion at present. And I also said any fool who blindly follow others, believing all the nonsense they say in the name of god, are prone for violence as they do not think and there are no exceptions though those who follow islam has a higher propensity for violence "at present" including violent reactions against 'heresies' (if it is any consolation,  when Europe was in its dark ages islam was the peaceful light bearer while the Christians, the violent villains against humanity).[In your example Palestine is a fight between two nations, the talliban are indeed terrorists, and syria is not about religion and india is regularly pestered with islamic terrorists (in fact some people even feel that Gujarat is a backlash against that though it was directed against its own country men. But again some muslims are the forerunner for that to, reacting against any 'atrocities(including cartoons) against islam even if it is not their concern and their own nation is at peace - the "universal muslim brotherhood" reaction,  though all humans are brothers. )
      So once more I tell you, there is no need to justify your religion,  it was not peaceful from its inception,  but neither there is any need to justify others for as long as religions exist they will keep humans backward and divide one against the other.
      My belief?  Didn't I just tell you that it is only fools who hold belief where one can rationally think?

        These poor people are dangerous because they admit they would kill if Allah asked, so all they need is for someone to show a passage that indicates Allah wants them to kill. They admit to being slaves to Allah.

        What they fail to understand is that just like the OT Mohammad made his version of God up to inspire his people for war. If they were taught to think for themselves they would understand that none of the science of the Quran is remotely correct and that would be an indication to a thinking person that the Quran wasn't divinely written.

      It's not me but you who are concentrating on islam. You are the one who try to sell it saying it's peaceful.
      And the topic "peaceful spread of islam in India" is also wrong as half of the early ones are spread by the sword and the other half by inducements in the form of an improvement in social hierarchy. Those who converted because of the 'merit' are very few and the malabar Muslims are mostly arabs who translocated from Arabia.

    First there are many things that science has discovered now which is Quran revealed 1400 years ago,if you want I could tell you many of them but it would be better if you search on youtube Quran and science.
    And a challenge for you and whole world prove a verse of Quran to be wrong and I will agree with you because I don't follow anything blindly and neither Islam tells this that's why Quran is full of evidence over evidence over evidence.
    So it seems fools are those who follow media blindly and other fools.
    And the case of osama bin laden the wtc case so that was a big planned conspiracy but you would hear the media.
    Just use your unbiased reasoning in that attack almost 400 muslims died and none of the jews showed  up that day in office how could all of them got on leave at the same time but I feel poor people don't have mind to think.

You understand that the moons orbit is not responsible for night or day and the Sun's orbit around the centre of our Galaxy takes billions of years so that orbit has nothing to do with anything pertaining to night or day. The description is clearly describes the sun and moons rotation around the earth being responsible for night and day.

                    Forget it, it's not going to make any difference. If the testimony of scientists is garbage, then that settles it. There is a short very apt chapter of The Quran for such situations. The Quran, with all its beauty and brilliance, shines heavenly light even in subtle pronouncements when not disclosing facts about the earth, heavens, and human beings. Here is where we are at . . .Chapter 109: "The Disbelievers":

                    "Say, O ye who disbelieve,
                    I worship not that which you worship,
                    Nor worship you what I worship,
                    And I am not to worship that which you worship
                    Nor will you worship what I worship
                    For you your religion, for me my religion"

                    Yes, better we talk about the weather. Bright and sunny as always out here, temperatures have been edging higher and its hot in the afternoon. But the breezy seventy degrees later afternoons and early evenings are a slice right out of heaven.

      How about this for blindly following, "we are spreading our Islam because we need you or Islam needs you but its like ALLAH has gifted us with something very special and ordered us to share"


      I would like to know which are the things that "science has discovered now which is quran revealed", is it about the different galaxies, the dual nature of light, DNA and genetics and virus and prions, evolution, polymers, radioactivity, climatic change, bacteria and antibiotics and other various drugs, computer and internet?
      Is there anything that which was NOT known to the people of then but was known only to the followers of islam clearly and unambiguously(that is, not where the meanings of the words are NOT manipulated to fit the later scientific discoveries) 


      Evidence of what? Other than it tells about the life and beliefs of Arabs 1000 years before, what does it tell us? About a non-existing sky dad? Isn't that enough to tell that its all wrong?
      And Rad Man is repeatedly posting how your book says earth is like an egg and all yo have is that the sound can also mean ellipsoid? Did any of the followers knew what the exact shape of earth before science discovered it?


      Is this an example "that attack almost 400 muslims died and none of the jews"?

      Muslims do make less than 5% of American population and if 400 muslims died that will make the percentage of muslims above 10% of total dead. So were the muslims knew about that attack before hand and flocking there to get martyrdom? Isn't there something in your book against lying?
      Again even if your counts are correct, how does that make the act less dastardly or not perpetrated by a muslim?


      Just because you blindly follow a book written 1400 years back without questioning anything written in it, or without stopping even to think whether it is logical, I'm not going to believe your nonsense, Thanks. I still have a brain that can analyse all the statements put forward to me before accepting or rejecting it.
