Sorry for responding so late. I will keep it brief.
the verse that says that (98:6) doesnt say that these people are not innocent, merely wrongdoers.
It says they are the worst creatures. Let's leave it at that. I hope you can see how this mindset could POTENTIALLY make Muslims think very little of their fellow man.
Notice the fact that they were already there. It would suggest it was they who had started it.
Does a small Roman outpost at the north of Arabia (which they didn't even try to retake) justify an all-out war with an empire?
9:29 and 9:30 say that Christians and Jews need to be humiliated, paying the Jizya tax. That sounds like a takeover of cities (civilians), not some forgotten outpost.
I should've been clearer, you can tell your parents your lack of faith, but they can't ever lay a hand on you unless you publicly announce it.
So you don't see a problem with that?
You defend an oppressive system that even calls on family members to hand over each other to Sharia law, i.e. being killed if one denounces his faith.
Both Muhammad and Muslims demand tolerance when they are weak (e.g. small minority) but show no tolerance once they are strong. Did Muhammad preach publicly in Mekka or not? He did. By your own standards, he should have been killed in the very beginning by the non-monotheists of his time!
The Quran mentions Abraham' father and how he threatened him with death if he didn't stop preaching monotheism. By your [the Muslim] standard, Abraham's father should have killed Abraham for preaching publicly.
Pls explain why you don't have a problem with this double standard.
It was not his wife it was a slave. The issue with this is that she was killed for doing it continuously without pause.
He chose to kill her after giving ample warning to stop and by disregarding and slandering Islam she was killed.
And that's shocking! Quran allows (actually orders) men to hit disobedient women. But first they need to be warned. Aaah so then everything is ok.
No it isn't! Men shouldn't hit their wives at any point (unless maybe in self-defense, but that's obvious) and people shouldn't kill others for insulting a prophet or VIP or ideology. How can you defend this?
Of course, this does not mean Muhammed apporoved of the way it was done, we may never know. It is also not fair to make an entire religous ruling based on one course of action that may not represent the "right way".
If I kill your enemy and you publicly say I should not be prosecuted, then it is approval.
