   Quran stresses on peaceful understanding, discussion and dialogue; the Creator –God Allah YHWH does not force anything on anyone:
   
   [12:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
   [12:2] Alif Lam Ra. These are verses of the clear Book.
   [12:3] We have revealed it — the Qur’an in Arabic — that you may understand.

   Human progress depends on understanding a phenomenon and does not depend on doubt and rebellion.
   
   Quran stresses on reason and wisdom.

      Just to clarify, the definition of reason includes the following:
      
      The capacity for rational thought, inference or discrimination, the state of having good sense and sound judgment, a justification for something existing or happening.
      
      Notice that "faith" is not present within that definition?

   The peaceful message of Islam is for enlightenment of the qualities of human beings. This object is achieved if they don’t become violent with one another and don’t kill anybody. They respect one another and resolve their issues with rational reasoning and peaceful discussions and dialogue.

   I am a pagan, following the odl ways of my Welsh ancestors and honoring a multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses, my wife is a Witch. According to the Koran a Muslim is required to kill us.
   2:191, And slay them wherever ye catch them
   
   2:193, And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression
   
   2:216, Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you 
   
   8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them 
   9:5, But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem

      Well druids are not specifically mentioned in the above verses.
      
      If you read the text of the verses with the verses in the context; meaning some verses preceding and some verses following , you may know that these verses are not generally meant for those who differ or those who does not believe the message Muhammad brought.
      
      These verses were meant for the Meccans; who did not allow freedom of religion while Muhammad lived in Mecca or to his followers; they persecuted Muhammad and his followers, restrained/arrested the Muslims in a valley for years; when Muslims migrated to Abyssinia, they sent a delegation to bring them back to punish them. They never listened to any peaceful discussion or dialogue or argument. They tortured and killed Muslims in Mecca. They burnt their houses and belongings.
      
      When Muhammad and his followers migrated to a place at a far off place from Mecca, they did not rest them there in peace and attacked them frequently.
      
      These verses are specifically addressed to those Meccans. Muhammad had to defend for his followers’ life and to restore freedom of religion to everybody.
      
      The verses are, as per even the modern civilized standards, rational and peaceful.
      
      Not addressed to harm Druids, for sure

         That's not true Paarsurrey! Muhammad forced his way into Mecca! The meccan people were trying to worship as they had for many, many years and Muhammad was trying to force the Qu'ran on them! They believed Muhammad to be a false prophet and would not accept it. He came in with war and forced them into his "qu'ran" and religion! He had to also force his followers to go to war with the Meccans because some of them had family there! His reasoning to make them go to war against the Meccans was that Allah told them to!  Do some research Paarsurrey, please??

               All through the Qu'ran it pushed war and violence, sexual immorality, and changing the law to suit one's own needs or should I say Muhammad's own wants and desires! Muhammad authorized lying to get what he wanted!
               
               In the Qu'ran we can see Muhammad's true nature, a pirate (thief who raided carivans and villages), a rapist, a true terrorist, a murderer, and the list goes on and on. If you kill a christian or jew you get rewards in heaven! It doesn't matter what  man has done if he kills for Muhammad he is forgiven and goes to heaven! And their heaven.... read the Qu'ran... it's a sexual orgy of men sitting on couches with people waiting on them hand and foot!
               
               And people wonder why muslims murder and treat women like property. In the qu'ran Muhammad made it look at though hell was mostly women who did not listen to their husbands! This put the fear in women! It makes sense that they would not speak up for themselves! It's clearly written in their so called "Holy book" that hell is made up of women who don't listen to their husbands!
               
               The Qu'ran is full of hate and discrimination! It takes the OT and twists it... Muhammad was so illiterate that he couldn't make up his own religion, he stole from other religions! But as a thief that is understandable! He even used the Sun God as his basis for "allah". 
               
               All throughout the Qu'ran Muhammad changed his own oaths and his own laws that he made when he wanted a woman or slave or to go to war... .he simply would say Allah said for him to tell them whatever! Muhammad said that Allah said he could have any woman he wanted. It's right in the Qu'ran!
               
               If you actually read he Qu'ran it will sicken you! And you will come away wondering how any person can read this entire book and not see the evil within this man! His sole purpose in the Qu'ran was to obtain followers to ensure he could get what he wanted (women, girls, and booty (money and spoils from his wars).
               
               It does NOT speak of love or faith or forgiveness. It speaks of violence, hate, murder, rape, adultery, theft, and terrorism! What few verses in the qur'ran that speak of any sort of good is very few... and is surrounded by hate and violence!
               
               I advise anyone to read it just to be informed!
               
               Muhammad had motives for what he did! He was no Prophet of God! He used his self proclaimed status to get anything he wanted! And he used his fake God "Allah" as his source to get what he wanted! Just read the book and see!
               
               I read the qu'ran with an open mind and I was blown away! There's no way you can twist these scriptures wrong or to make them appear bad... they are clearly evil no matter how you look at them or read the verses before or after!
               
               I'm sorry Paarsurrey but it is clearly the fault of Muhammad! He used his people for his own selfish reasons and wrote the Qu'ran to persue his own sickening desires! It is truly sad how people held on to his atrocities! Anyone who speaks out against the lies is killed or tortured! So throughout the years people feared moving forward and away from it!
               
               How you can say Muhammad was a peaceful prophet after reading the Qu'ran is beyond understanding!

       I don't think the Meccans were or had any contact with the Druids and/or pagans; they believed in Allah and followed Abraham; though they also worshiped some idols.

          OK I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this one time and see if you can engage in a mature discussion.
          Prior to Mohammed the middle east, including Mecca, was Hellenic. The worship of the Gods of Greece and Rome were the main religous forces. Zoroastra still held some sway in Persia. The only Abrahamic people were Jews and Christians. There were no Druids in the middle east, they were the "Clergy" for want of a better word, of North West europe. The Hellenic worshippers were the Pagans that Mohammed warred against.

             For any Hellenic influence at Mecca; or for Meccans being Druids or Hellenic people prior to Muhammad you shall have to prove it from the poetry of Meccans prior to Muhammad the only source they had- the Nomad Arabs of Hijaz . You should also have in mind that Muhammad was a citizen of Mecca, he was born there, and his ancestors were involved in the administration of Mecca; and as such he was ver much a part of them; he was not a foreigner there.

    Islamic scholars refer to the time before Mohammed as the "Jahiliya" or the age of ignorance. The Arabic peoples had no written traditions as is common with many early people throughout the world. What we know or appear to know of them comes from the Ahadith, writing associated with Islam and particularly Mohammed outside of the Koran. It is from the Ahadith that we learn of the Nomadic tribes religion. Allah was the chief God. He had three daughters,  Al Lat (Crescent); Al Uzzah (Venus) and Al Manah (Fate) There were hundreds of minor Gods associted with Rivers, Oases, fertile areas and the moon. Mohammed centered a religion around one God, an idea he got from the Jews.
    The only Arab tribe that had any writing were the Arabs of Hijaz but there is no prose surviving even if they had any. All we have is their poetry.
    To sum it up, the Arab tribes were very Pagan with a multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses while the large population centers were influenced by the Hellenic religions of Greece and Rome. This all can be found in the Ahadith.

       You were talking about the pre-Muhammad period and now come to the period 200/250 years after; it is very strange.
       
       People in Hijaz were nomadic tribes, having no set boundries, they roamed about; but they had rich poetry which was easy to commit to memory and they had a very fine taste for the language.
       
       Those who collected the Hadith  also set the principle that it would be only acceptable if it is not against Quran; then you should abide by this principle.
       
       So the best source of those people relating to Muhammad's time is Quran which is still intact both in verbal form passed on to us from generation to generation and in the writing form; both supporting one another.
       
       For pre-Muhammad period that poetry called Seven Suspended Odes (Saba'a Muallaqat) of pre-Islamic tradition  are there.

       You want to discuss pre-Muhammad period; it would be reasonable and rational if you could suggest pre-Muhammad sources; if you cannot then Quran is the earliest source and it should be given preference on others provided one is unbiased and open minded person.
       
       I have suggested one other source only for the purpose of flexibility; for pre-Muhammad period the poetry called Seven Suspended Odes (Saba'a Muallaqat).
       
       It does not match the credulity of Quran; nowhere near it; but we can start with. If you are not introduced to it I give here a link:

    I prefer to write Hubs not lengthy forum posts, but for you I will make an exception this time.
    W.A.Clouston, presented his book "Arabian Poetry" in 1881. He cites sources from travellers in the Middle East including the Poetry of the Tribes of Hijaz. (Incudentally you may note that the poem of Antar is very much a warrior poem) In speaking of the pre-Mohammed culture of the Arabs he states;
    
    "The religion of most of the Arabs before the time of Muhammad was rank idolatry. The Sabian religion—worship of the sun, the fixed stars, and the planets, and of angels and lower intelligences—overran the whole nation, although there also existed among them a considerable number of Christians, Jews, and Magians. It was perhaps natural for the Arabs to be led into the worship of the celestial luminaries: a pastoral life requiring continual observation of their motions, in order to forecast changes of the weather, they would be very easily induced to ascribe the blessing of rain to a divine power that resided in them. The constellations, which divide the zodiac into twenty-eight parts, through one of which the moon passes every night, were called anwā’, or the Houses of the Moon. In the Temple of Makka were 360 idols, one for each day of their year; of these the chief were Lat and ‘Uzza, by which they were wont to swear, though such an oath was not considered so binding as the following, from which it will be seen that, besides their imaginary deities, they also believed in a supreme God: "I swear, by Him who rendered the lofty mountains immovable, the Giver of life and death, that I will never betray you, either in word or in deed." If a man broke this oath, the same day he would bark like a dog, and the flesh would fall off his bones."
    
    Do you deny that the inhabitants of Mecca, prior to Mohammed were Pagans worshipping a multitude of Gods and Goddesses?

       The Quraysh of Mecca- a noble tribe to which Muhammad belonged believed in Allah; they also had idols in the Kaaba:
       
       As little is known of the history of the Kaaba, there are various opinions regarding its formation and significance.
       
       The early Arabian population consisted primarily of warring nomadic tribes. When they did converge peacefully, it was usually under the protection of religious practices.[16] Writing in the Encyclopedia of Islam, Wensinck identifies Mecca with a place called Macoraba mentioned by Ptolemy. His text is believed to date from the second century AD, before the foundation of Islam,[17] and described it as a foundation in southern Arabia, built around a sanctuary. The area probably did not start becoming an area of religious pilgrimage until around the year AD 500. It was around then that the Quraysh tribe (into which Muhammad was later born) took control of it, and made an agreement with the local Kinana Bedouins for control.[18] The sanctuary itself, located in a barren valley surrounded by mountains, was probably built at the location of the water source today known as the Zamzam Well, an area of considerable religious significance.
       
       In her book, Islam: A Short History, Karen Armstrong asserts that the Kaaba was dedicated to Hubal, a Nabatean deity, and contained 360 idols which either represented the days of the year,[19] or were effigies of the Arabian pantheon. Once a year, tribes from all around the Arabian peninsula, whether Christian or pagan, would converge on Mecca to perform the Hajj.
       
       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaaba
       
       The name of Muhammad's father was Abdu(A)llah or Servant of Allah; he died before the birth Muhammad.
       
       So; the Arabs claimed to be from the proginey of Ishmael, the elder son of Abraham and they believed in Allah.
       
       Allah was not invented by Muhammad; instead Allah chose as Messenger Prophet of Him and bestowed him the title of "Seal of the Prophets".

    I see you have copied and pasted from Wikipedia. May I suggest that if you cannot afford books you visit a library and read various learned sources.
    You must be aware that the Arabic word for God is AL and that Allah signifies the supreme God. I have already mentioned that the pagan religion of the early Arabs had Allah as the supreme God. This is similar to the Greek Jupiter or the Roman Zeus. The other Gods and Goddesses as well as the various Jinn that inhabited Wells and Sandstorms etc. were worshipped. Mohammed converted the people away from that pantheism into the sole worship of the supreme God declaring he was acting under the instructions of that same Allah.
    Can we agree to that much at least?

    Islamic scholars and historians, do your own research, agree on the pagan nature of the pre-mohammed Arabs.
    Where they would disagree with me, libby and most unbiased researchers is that Mohammed forced his new religion on them with the sword. It was convert or die. Thus the Surahs mentioned by me earlier and the way in which they are being used today.

             He couldnt read or write so he didn't copy the "real" commandments that God sent down to Moses for the people. Muhammad made his up as he went along. Of course the flow of the Qu'ran was war and battle so the commandments are not based on the God of the Bible as were the commandment of Moses. Of course the Qu'ran says the OT was true and accurate yet it is as different from the OT of the bible as night and day. God is the same always yet in Qu'ran his commandments changed drastically. This is not the same God of Abraham! It's a made up God from Muhammad to serve his own lusts.

       The Catholic Church Goes back to St Peter.
       WE do nor worship Mary.
       We worship Jesus Christ and the holy Trinity.
       Who says the KJV is the only true translation.
       The only difference between the KJV and the Catholic Bible is the Old Testerment, the New Testerment is the same.
       The Church of England has 'confession' said in every service, as a group; as a Catholic I confess to God via a priest...
       Jesus said to his disciples ' leave everything and follow me'' Jesus wanted his disiples to follow celibacy. He did not say bring your wives and kids.
       To be honest to you I do not care if the KJV  or any other version dose not back the Catholic Church or the Catholic Bible.
       I belive that The Catholic Church is a true faith that Goes back to St Peter.
       I was raised a Catholic , changed to Church Of England, after 14 years returned to the Catholic Church, as I found 99.99% of Christian Churches are just breakaways from The Roman Catholic Church.
       How many of Jesus's disciples were married?I know that the KJV does not back the Catholic Bible. But the way you state, it is if you place the KJV translation over every other translation. There are many versons of the Bible ( many Translations) I belive the Catholic Bible, you are free to belive any translation you wish.
