Mohammed himself took part, if leading from the rear, in thirty-three recorded battles, plus an unknown number of raids on caravans between 622 and 632, an inauspicious beginning to any religion claiming to be characterised by Peace. He also ordered the Expedition to Qatan, or a Sirya in which he did not take part. When addressing Christendom in 1097 with a view towards raising the First Crusade to regain the Holy Land from Islam, and assist Byzantium against the depredations of the Seljuk Muslims, Pope Urban II summarised the early onslaughts of Mohammed’s Arab and Turkish raiders fighting their religiously inspired jihads under the prophet’s crescent banner. Urban goaded European Christians saying:
For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised to them. For, as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania (the Greek empire) as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for a while with impunity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends.
There were few enclaves free of the Islamic yoke in North Africa, if any, where autonomous Christian communities lived. Where they were allowed to practise their faith, they were obliged to wear turbans of a distinctive colour, to pay discriminatory poll taxes to Muslim authorities, barred from government employment or other sinecures, denied rights of free association, and subject to severe punishments if they were deemed to be apostates to Islam. At the same time, they were not permitted to resist attempts to convert them to Islam.
Pope Urban was fully aware of the imperial purposes of Islam, with all of European Spain already under its oppressive heel. Islamic impositions, including violence against so-called infidels, was not only condoned, but encouraged by the Suras of the Koran from the earliest years of Mohammed’s onslaught. Thus in the Surah,Koran 2:216 the bellicose prophet taught:
Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, you knew not.
This exhortation formed a justification for the massacre of unarmed merchants from the Quraysh tribe of Mecca, Mohammed’s own tribe, in 623 AD at Nakhla. Mohammed had fled to Medina, in an event now celebrated as the hejira, but it seems he was more like a fleeing outlaw. He had destroyed the idols of the Quraysh, and so was guilty of the apostasy and sacrilege he would never condone in others who contravened the religion of peace that he preached.
His bloody punishment, or outrageous atrocities at Nakhla demonstrate that the Islamic idea of warfare does not entail battle against an armed enemy. The terrorists who carry their incendiaries secretly amongst unwitting and unarmed victims can cite Nakhla as a precedent justifying their own actions, and so claim martyrdom.
The merchants were travelling to Mecca during the holy month of Rejeb which was considered sacred for trade in Arabia, when warfare or violence was strictly forbidden by Mohammed. He was able to use this Surahto justify his act of plunder as a divinely ordained opportunity designed for his benefit.
To those who had the temerity to challenge the righteousness of this behaviour, Mohammed was enthused to provide the following specious justification, conveniently appended as the next Surahat 2:217.
They question you (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: ‘Warfare therein is a great transgression but to turn men from the way of Allah and to disbelieve in Him and the inviolable place of worship and to expel its people thence is a greater transgression, for persecution is worse than killing'. 
That is, his action was based on a pious need to provide an example to non-believers that would encourage them to accept Islam. The fact that Mohammed personally profited by keeping one fifth of the looted merchandise was merely a sign of Allah’s favour. Of course, that it was permissible under Islam to slaughter non-Muslims in order to facilitate proselytising was beyond question.
In March, 623, during Ramadan Mohammed was again able to use specious, divine inspiration to justify murder and banditry at the well at Badr. On this occasion, the plundered caravan included seventy Quraysh merchants, as well as a paramilitary force from Mecca that came to defend them. The value of the cargo, at 50,000 gold dinars may well have been the primary motive rather than religious zeal. The same Suras could of course be used to justify this violence though it was against a group of merchants that was supported by the government of Mecca. Nor was the captured gold and the deaths of 200 soldiers and merchants enough to curb the prophet’s rage against those who dared to challenge him. In keeping with his religious fervour he demanded ransoms for seventy prisoners; those for whom no righteous offering was made were beheaded, just as infidels who are captured by devout Islamic warriors today and who are not ransomed, are beheaded. Of course now, decapitation can be by chainsaw as well as scimitar or dagger.
The Battle of Badr was based on more than pure greed, obviously. Muhammad was edified, as the prophet of Allah to find the corpse of Abu Jahal, a Meccan who had publicly denounced him as a mountebank. The desecration of Abu Jahal’s corpse provided a further channel for heavenly communication to Muhammad, he Apostle of peace, who happily called on his followers to take succour from their victory, telling them, ‘Rejoice! Here lies the head of the enemy of Allah! Praise Allah, for there is no other but he! It is more acceptable to me than the choicest camel in all Arabia.' Though with the gold he had amassed he would not have to deny himself any camels that took his fancy.
After burying the mutilated corpses of his enemies in a common grave, or pit, Mohammed announced, 'O People of the Pit, have you found that what Allah threatened is true now? For I have found that what my Lord promised was true! Rejoice All Muslims!'.
Among the captured was the superior storyteller, Al Nadr Ibn al Harith, whose ability as a better raconteur left. Mohammed no option but to have his head removed; clearly Nadr’s superiority was a gift of Shaitan, a mere infernal parody of talent that the righteous could not withstand. Other similarly impertinent minions of the devil were similarly punished on this happy occasion.
Still, for the benighted Muhammad needed a revelation to establish he was merely the hand of God, rather than a vain, grasping, egotistical psychopath, a ridiculous view that even at this time some misguided persons held. Providentially, Allah elucidated Mohammed’s agency in the eight Chapter of the Koran, entitled Al-Anfal, or "The Spoils of War", or "Booty” by which, happily Allah authorized Mohammed to claim the entire booty taken at Badr:
They ask thee concerning things taken as spoils of war. Say: (Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad): so fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves. Obey Allah and his Messenger, if ye do believe. Koran 8:1
However, Mohammed did distribute four fifths of the lucre to his followers, in the spirit of Islamic peace and co-operation. Such generosity may go some way to explaining how Mohammed was able to maintain unity among his followers. Unbelievers were lawful prey for Mohammed’s troops, while apostates are "the vilest of creatures" (Koran 98:6) to whom it is not only unnecessary but wrong to show mercy. The Prophet exhorted his flock: "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers, smite at their necks." (Koran 47:4) The term unbelievers or Kafirs applies more to those who were never Muslims rather than apostates, or Murtadds; or to Mushriks, who are believers in the Blessed Trinity, so that it may include Christians and Jews. But even Mushriks may not resist submission to Islam.
For Islam, a demonstration of power, or the inspiring of terror takes priority over mercy, as in Surah 8:67 stating:
"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. You desire the lure of this world and Allah desires for you the hereafter and Allah is Mighty, Wise.. Now enjoy what you have won as lawful and good and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is forgiving, merciful."
This Surah exposes Islam to be a religion that not only encourages violence but actually makes it a sacred duty for Muslims to kill anyone who does not submit to Muslim. Mohammed seems oblivious to the absurdity of his own theology, in which an 'All forgiving Allah' demands his followers slaughter those who are not Muslims. The most insensible apologists of Islam with a cursory knowledge of the Bible could point to such contradictions in the Old or New Testaments. The Hebrew prophets never preached forgiveness in conjunction with aggressive warfare, as when the twelve tribes brought down the walls of Jericho, or Samson pulled down Baal’s temple on the heads of the Philistines.
There is no such hypocrisy in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, Christ urges his followers to forgive their enemies seven times seventy times, or to turn the other cheek. Christ offers no equivocation. Profiteering from religious war was never condoned in either part of the Bible. The current efforts of Western armies, fighting in the traditions of Judaeo-Christian traditions, are instead working hard towards reconstructing Afghanistan and Iraq, building infrastructure and stable government, so far as it is possible in states unable to overcome the continuous anarchy of internecine war.
Shortly after the Battle of Badr, the Prophet was troubled that Abdallah Ibn Ubayy, a powerful chief who was allied with the Jewish Tribe of Banu Qaynuqa did not defer to his authority. Though these Jews had given Mohammed asylum from the Quraysh when he fled Mecca, he was inspired by divine agency to understand he had no debt of gratitude, but instead an opportunity he was bound to exploit. It was obvious to Mohammed as it would be to any egocentric, crazed, psychopath that Ubayy’s recalcitrance was anathaema in the eyes of Allah. He may have been motivated to correct this effrontery in particular because many of the Banu Qaynuqa happened to be goldsmiths. The Muslims blockaded the fort of the Banu Qaynuqa for fifteen days until the starving Jews surrendered. However, Mohammed could not take immediate advantage of the capitulation of the Jews without first obviating his goal through divination, to be articulated in Surahs 8 55-57:
Lo, the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the ungrateful who will not believe. Those of them with whom you made a treaty and then at every opportunity they break their treaty and they keep not duty to Allah, If you come on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, so that they may remember.
The ingratitude of the Banu Qaynuqa obliged Muhammad to keep one-fifth of their wealth, to enslave a number of them, and to demand the conversion of others who had had the temerity to resist him. But of course, women also must expect the wrath of Allah to be visited upon, together with difficult children, for the obvious reason that they are of their parents, just as wives are under the tutelage of their husbands: 
Surah 4:34 Husbands should take full care of their wives, with [the bounties] God has given to some more than others and with what they spend out of their own money. Righteous wives are devout and guard what God would have them guard in the husbands’ absence. If you fear high-handedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great.
Of course, Mohammed was quite reasonable, advising men to ignore nagging wives before beating them. But women and children who are not Muslim cannot reasonably expect such lassitude. The destruction of any non-Muslims is readily vouchsafed so long as it occurs at a suitable point in the Islamic calendar:
Surah 9:5 –“So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush,…”
There is no need to make any declaration of confrontation regardless of the strength or weakness of the faithless. Of course those who are so intransigent as to take the initiative against extends beyond mere decapitation or quick death, to crucifixion and amputation, as in the pious Surah 5:33:
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle 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.
Even the people of the Book are subject to the punishment deemed righteous by the Apostle of Peace, who cannot be deceived by false overtures of friendship. Having taught his followers the doctrine of Taqiyah, that they should deceive authorities who were not of Islam, he also taught them to be wary of Jews and Christians who must be as duplicitous as his own followers:
Surah 5:51 – O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Even where Mohammed’s faithful live amongst those who have not learned to submit, in apparent harmony, they regard them with antipathy and are, as demonstrated from the Surahs provided here, quite justified by Mohammed’s teaching to turn on and destroy those who do not accept their faith.

Hopefully there are enough for a series I plan ...
I am certain Allah will provide
One claims it to be a religion of peace and a tolerant culture, the
other a violent faith and a culture incompatible with 21st
century secular democratic society.
On examination there is overwhelming evidence to support one of those opinions and no evidence whatsoever to support the other.
Pope Urban certainly got it right when he said:
"If you permit them to continue thus for a while with impunity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them."
He was spot on. Appeasing them and finding excuses results in more violence.
Also when he said "I beseech you to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, ... to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends.
The only thing he got wrong was calling Islam a vile race when it is an ideology, and definitely a vile one. He should have known that when there were Turks and Arabs involved, who are ethnically different. It's the ideology they share.
By the way, I'm always puzzled when people agree with me that yes, the Arab Muslims are to be feared, but the Turkish Muslims are moderate. Apart from the brief Ataturk period, the history of the Ottoman Empire shows otherwise.
We too are fully aware and would be able to raise awareness in others were we not strangled by political correctness.
In fact, it's fair to say that political correctness is the bridge that Islam is passing over in order to force us to submit.
"Among the captured was the superior storyteller, Al Nadr Ibn al Harith, whose ability as a better raconteur left. Mohammed no option but to have his head removed"
Great line; brought a smile to my dial.
They must be running out of fatwas by now, BH.
Back in the 11th century, the Muslims were closer to a race than they are now, most of them being Semites, Cassandra. So you can't be too hard on poor old Urban.
Charles, which view do you think is supported by the evidence?
WE MUST DESTROY THE CRIME SYNDICATES OF ISLAMISM BEFORE THE CRIME SYNDICATES OF ISLAMISM DESTROY US. EACH MUSLIM SECT IS A CRIME SYNDICATE.
Articles like this are EXACTLY what we need to keep exposing Islam and its dangers to western civilization. I have just listened to Alan Jones interview Hirsi Ali and also watched Leigh Sales on Lateline interview Hirsi Ali.
The west, the political leaders and the MSM are all afraid of criticizing Islam for fear of being labelled ‘racist’ or an ‘Islamophobe’.
There are SO many ways to expose Islam and we need to keep doing this.
No better way than looking at Mohammed’s life and his ‘battles’ to spread Islam.
I look forward to your coming articles, Greg, especially about Khaybar.
All Muslims are required to follow Mohammed’s example (Sura 33:21), so look at this one battle.
In one day, Mohammed broke at least six of the ten commandments of Moses, when he tortured Kinana for his treasure and then had him beheaded. He killed the Jews, stole their food and possessions, raped their women, took some as concubines and put others into slavery.
So Mohammed broke these at least:
1)Thou shall not kill (#5)
2)Thou shall not commit adultery (#6)
3)Thou shall not steal (#7)
4)Thou shall not bear false witness (#
5)Thou shall not covet thy neighbour’s wife (#9)
6)Thou shall not covet thy neighbour’s goods (#10).
And of course Mohammed transgressed his own Quran.
1)He used manumission in place of a dowry to marry Safiyya
2)He didn’t wait the three months before marrying Safiyya.
Notice that the famous quote echoed by the Turkish Gaza flotilla was:-
“Jews, remember the Khaybar?”
The battle of Khaybar NAILS Mohammed as a murdering, raping (Safiyya), Jew hating, women degrading man who had no respect for Moses and the Ten Commandments.
And the Muslims celebrate this???????
Both Catholics and Anglicans have a three year cycle in Bible reading. Having been exposed to this, first as an Anglican and later as a Catholic, I know you will never hear about End Times prophecy.
Muslims who attend the mosque all know this:
1.Jews and Christians are monkeys and pigs, the vilest of creatures
2.Jews must be killed before the Last Hour, and Isa will lead the destruction of Christianity with a mass slaughter like never seen before.
Christians are NOT told:-
1.Islam is NOT an Abrahamic faith
2.Allah is NOT Yahwey, the God of the Bible (but is Satan)
3.Isa is NOT Jesus (but is the identity of False prophet in Revelation 13:11)
4.Muslims don’t believe in the Ten Commandments.
Those four statements above should be made clear every time Christians gather to worship.
There are many others on this site (like Truth Detector) who know that Allah is the Satan of the Bible and Mohammed was a false prophet. We need to keep trumpeting this message.
Anyone who takes a ‘structured walkthrough’ of Islam and Christianity will reach these conclusions.
Allah is NOT the God of Creation
Historical errors like Mary being the sister of Aaron or Pharaoh being drowned in one place and not drowned in another, mountains as ‘pegs’ stabilizing the Earth, and so on. This is clear evidence that Allah could NOT be God because the Quran is supposedly a ‘copy’ of the text in Heaven.
Allah is NOT the God of the Bible
The nature of God, abrogation, totalitarianism in Islam which is opposed to the separation of church and State, the remoteness of Allah as compared to the nature of God in the Bible, the distortion of Abraham’s role, and so on. Allah is the complete opposite to Yahwey. Blind Freddy could see this.
Allah is Satan in the Bible
There so many ways to prove this and I have written on them before, but from the Psalms (#83), Joel, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah and others, the fingerprint of Islam is there. It is everywhere.
Revelation 12 states how when Jesus was taken up to Heaven, Satan went on a killing spree of Jews and Christians. Read Muslim book 41 no. 6985 and Bukhari vol 3 book 34 no. 425.
Revelation 20 states beheading is the preferred killing method. Read Sura 8:12, 47:4.
So many references, I ask myself “why don’t our church leaders speak up?”
The Satanic nature of Islam is evident everywhere in our daily lives, and rising fast.
From the treatment of women, blacks and slavery, female genital mutilation, suppressing of art forms like music, sculpture, photography, wine, socializing, rape epidemics, honour killing and its demand to kill and be killed to impose itself on all humanity.
Why can’t everyone see this as ‘Satanic’?
Truth Detector is right.
We must DESTROY Islam before it destroys us.
Articles like these are incredibly important because they give absolute koran printed evidence, completely impervious to any rebuttal (good luck with that with any pedophile worshipper obviously).Well, we have to give it Muhammad - without all this violence Islam would not be an easy product to sell.
You don’t need to look too far to know that Mohammed was a False prophet.
Jesus said that after him would come ONLY false prophets to lead people astray [Matthew 24:11,24]
Matthew 16:21-23 Jesus says that denying the crucifixion and resurrection is like following Satan. Yet this is what Mohammed preached.
Matthew 22:30 Jesus says there is no marriage in Heaven, yet Mohammed promises this and brags he will ‘marry’ Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
Matthew 5:17-19 Jesus claims to be fulfilling the Law and the prophets, and anyone breaking the Law and teaching others to do the same is the least in Heaven. Mohammed consistently broke the Ten Commandments and asks his followers to do the same.
Mohammed fits ALL the requirements of a false prophet.
And the greatest False prophet (Revelation 13:11) is Isa who will claim to be Jesus but will instead destroy Christianity and kill all those who won’t convert (and abolish the Jizyah tax).
And the Antichrist (Mahdi) will be a descendant of Mohammed (from Fatima), be 40 years old and take Mohammed’s name, and will lead the revised Caliphate (Revelation 13 – the ‘head’ that is healed) and will capture Jerusalem (before being killed himself after 7 years – Daniel 9:27, 2 Thessalonians 2 and Daniel 11:36-45).
Islamic eschatology aligns perfectly with Biblical eschatology!
What's so hard for people to understand is that violence, hate and intolerance is at the core of Islam. They just can't comprehend that a "religion" could be this way so the cognitive dissonance kicks in.
I often recite the custom with the Eid al-Adha goat. This is the festival of course where they celebrate the sacrifice of Abraham who was about to slay his son but God replaced him at the last minute with a ram. I'll let those like Geoff with knowledge of the Bible recite this event better but I understand Mohommed claims the wrong son was sacrificed than what the Jews and Christians believe (either through simply getting it wrong or because of what that means regarding lineage?) Anyway, many Muslims will slay an animal (usually a goat) by slicing the jugular Halal style in front of the family at home to celebrate the event. A not uncommon practice is that father will bring home the goat 6 weeks early when a son is young. He lets the son play with the goat and get attached to it then will kill it in front of him at festival time. The kid is devastated. Next year the same, then each year after that, bringing the goat home just a little bit closer to Eid. At about age 12 Dad gives son the blade - he takes to the goat with a passion. Whilst this practice may not happen in every Muslim house, I don't think it's obscure either - 2 of my "English public school" Muslim colleagues have told me this happened in their homes in England.
Muslims are subjected and indoctrinated to violence from the beginning and they think it's normal. The treatment of the mother and sisters, the constant banging on about violence being a ticket to Paradise, the beatings sons also get from father. No sane person could follow Islam but Muslims are made insane from birth.
But Islam must be respected.
"I've given up caring about politeness and etiquette - you're not supposed to discuss religion OR politics (part of our problem) but when they're one and the same (and the future of humanity is at stake) I think there's a loophole."
Amen, brother! Never cease. (To encourage others, can I just say I have gone from almost pariah status ten years ago to people respecting my information and the urgency. Haven’t been 'shut up' in ages!_
Geoff, I couldn’t agree more with you, about the failings of MOST (not all) churches in communicating the truth about islam. When I returned from Thailand in 2000 I could not believe the deliberate silence I encountered. Senior members of the denomination I had formerly ascribed to were scathing of my insistence on discussing islam; I was told to look into my motivations and look at the example of Christ….you know….love yer enemies, turn the other cheek, etc.
Happily I have seen a change but I am still very aware of the paucity of comment and exposure islam gets in church circles. I think Dave nailed it….
“They just can't comprehend that a "religion" could be this way so the cognitive dissonance kicks in.”
Wake up, Australian churchmen and women.
Muhammad went against the Second Commandment: Muhammad hated God and his neighbors as he murdered, pillaged and raped.
Muhammad failed to keep the Sabbath (Seventh Day) holy as he raped on that day and everyday.
Muhammad dishonored the memory of his parents as he raped, murdered, and pillaged on that dreadful day.
WE MUST DESTROY THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF ISLAMISM BEFORE THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF ISLAMISM DESTROYS US.
P.S. It's worth repeating. I have changed Islam to Islamism for two reasons: One --- Islamism rhymes with Communism and Nazism. Two --- all three ideologies have been almost equal in creating havoc among peoples, i.e., cruelty, barbarism, death and destrution.
No-one wants to be confronted with the reality of the danger Australia (and humanity) faces from islam.
To acknowledge that reality is to understand that we are at war again with another totalitarian ideology, and very few are willing so far to accept what that entails for all of us.
Best to ignore it and hope it goes away, but of course it's coming closer.
Just after 9/11 I wrote some anti-islam rants to my state's leading newspaper hoping to have them published, all to no avail.
Reading them now I can understand why the editorial staff junked them in the bin.
Since then I have had quite a few letters published in the newspaper, all pointing out the incompatibility of islam with western secular democracy and it's inherent violence to non-moslems and even to it's own adherents.
More and more letters published in my local paper are anti-islam, but the content has to be constructed with an understanding of the journalist mind.
Keep it short, to the point and factual, not emotional.
My 'diametrically opposing opinions' piece above will hopefully be published as my response to the next act of islamic-inspired murder which makes the headlines.
I've always found that seduction works better than assault, so tempting the ignorant to think about islam is preferable to slapping them around the head with facts.
It is simply an ideology for the enslavement of others, especially women, in order for the arab to grab top world power.
Much like the mafia, they will murder, lie, cheat and steal their way to power. What's religious about that?
The Christians need to know about and understand their concept of lying to anyone who stands in their way.
When they are small in numbers, they pretend to go along. When their numbers increase.......they ENFORCE their crime organization on the people.
IT HASN'T CHANGED A BIT.
I like your laconic tone about this piece of Islamic history ..
Thanks Greg for contrasting the constant exhortation of the Qur'an to violence and the past [and finished] historic battles of the Jewish and Christian holy books. Why is it that many don't grasp the simple fact that there is a universal exhortation to violence in the Qur'an and there is no such exhortation in Judaism or Christianity. That is why there has never been so unutterably cruel and sociopathic a creed on the face of this earth as Islam.
