When Should A Religion Be Dissolved In The Interest Of World Peace?
INTRODUCTION:
To many” “this question with regard to when a religion should be dissolved in the interest of world peace may seem unthinkable as all should be granted the basic human right of freedom of conscience – freedom of religion. However” “all freedoms must be constrained when they are used to injure and hurt others; to wit” “one’s freedom should end when it is used to injure” “murder” “and hurt others.
Many do not realize that good people can be in evil false religions” “but this is indeed the case.
Many people have difficulty seeing the difference between people” “good or bad” “and the religion they are in” “and feel when someone mentions the evil bad of a false religion they are also talking about the mislead individuals that belong to it.
These selfsame people fail to realize that most of mankind is being mislead by the religious leaders of evil false religions and/or egotistical men who believe what they say takes precedence over the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH)” “the Bible. In addition” “it is not what either the Bible or the Bible knockoff the Qur'an or other so called holy book actually say” “but how religious leaders be they priest and/or imams or muftis or what ever teach the people is the interpretation of what is written either in the Bible or the bible knockoff the Qur'an that matters and governs actions. It matters not what the Bible and/or the Bible knockoff really say. People go by what they are taught by their religious leaders. Take the genocide committed by the Roman Catholic Church at the direction of their supreme religious leader” “the pope” “what mattered was not that the Bible clearly said at Exodus 20:13” “"Thou shalt not kill." (Authorized King James Bible; AV)” “but what their religious leaders told them. Therefore” “it is the religion at fault” “irregardless of what their particular holy book” “be it the Bible or the Bible knockoff the Qur'an may say. Neither in so called Christianity or in Islam are most individuals actions really governed in any way by what their particular holy book really says” “but they are governed by the interpretation of their religious leaders. Thus” “knowing this reality” “one would be either just plain stupid and/or dumb to even bother looking at a particular religion's holy book and expect the members would conform to it. Take the Rig Vede and find me for example a Hindu actually conforming to it instead of the interpretation given to it by his religious leaders” “like looking for a needle in the haystack per K.S. Lal” “India's greatest historian.
The truth is most religious leaders either take things out of context and/or twist what their particular 'holy book' says to further their personal agendas or the agendas of the particular evil false religion they represent” “what ever that may be. In reality” “little thought or concern is ever given to what a particular 'holy book' actually says. Nowhere is this more true than with religious leaders who claim to be using the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH)” “the Bible” “as their guide. This practice is particularly dishonoring of the Creator of all there is” “Almighty God (YHWH)” “because it brings dishonor on his Inspired Word” “the Bible” “by many who see those proclaiming to follow the Bible are NOT really doing so. This hypocrisy gives many the wrong impression of the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH)” “the Bible” “and unjustly brings reproach on it. This is very unfortunate and fits right in with the god of this system of things” “Satan the Devil” “with regard his continuing attempt to mislead all of mankind if possible.
When a religion let’s its religious leaders get totally out of bounds and endanger world peace” “it is time to dissolve it. Now of course this is NOT to be taken as saying and/or implying that all the religious leaders in a particular religion are bad people. However” “if the good religious leaders in a religion can NOT control the bad actions of other religious leaders within the group or do NOT desire to do so” “and the unchecked actions of the bad ones endanger world peace” “it is time to dissolve the religion.
Let’s look at an actual example where the good religious leaders of a religion are NOT reining in the bad” “i.e.” “NOT cleaning out the bad ones either by excommunication and/or other means where dissolution may be the best solution” “and where religious freedom can be maintained by giving members of this religion the opportunity to choose any of the other 33,000 plus religions.
A SO CALLED RELIGION THAT HAS SPILLED BLOOD FROM ITS BEGINNING:
Islam has spilled blood since its foundation in the Seventh Century. Let's look at its very beginnings” “a raid on a camel caravan with spilling of blood.
<<<" Raid on B. Qudah at Dhat al-Salasil by Amr b. al-As - September” “629CE
Having suffered a terrible defeat in the hands of B. Qudah at Dhat Atlah” “coupled with the ignoble retreat of the Muslim army from Mu'tah” “Muhammad's prestige was greatly affected. It is said that he also received intelligence that a number of tribes” “including B. Qudah were now preparing to attack Medina. To salvage his reputation he now empowered Amr b. al-As” “the new convert of Islam” “to push for a decisive raid on the stubborn B. Qudah tribe. Amr b. al-As was very furious that some of these tribes had taken the side of the Byzantine party during the Mu'tah battle. It was time to punish them-Muhammad determined.
So with three hundred (300) men and thirty horses” “Amr b. al-As set out to decimate the rebellious B. Qudah who were settled at Dhat al-Salasil. It was at a distance of ten days march from Medina. Amr b. al-As' grandmother (i.e.” “the mother of al-As b. Wail” “the father of Amr b. al-As) was a woman from Qudah or Bali tribe and Muhammad sent Amr b. al-As to convert her and her people to Islam by force. When Amr arrived at Dhat al-Salasil he found that the enemy had heavily outnumbered the Muslims.
Because of the feeble Islamic forces at his disposal Amr b. al-As sought reinforcement from Muhammad. The messenger of Allah quickly sent Abu Bakr b. Quhafa with an additional two hundred (200) men to assist Amr b. al-As. Thus” “the total number of men now numbered five hundred (500)." [source - "Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims," The Root of Terrorism a la Islamic style Chapter 15” “by Abul Kasem ]
So as we can see” “Islam started out with the spilling of innocent blood of those running the peaceful caravan of commerce” “and it continued that way until the present. Yet members of this sham religion claim it is a religion of peace. This false claim makes one think of what Adolph Hitler said” “<<<" 'The broad mass of a nation -..will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one'---Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)">>>.
EARLY BLOOD SPILLING BY ISLAM:
Next” “came the <<<"Raid on B. Juhayna at al-Khabat (the expedition of fish) by Abu Ubaydah ibn Jarrah - October” “629CE
In the next month” “Muhammad sent Abu Ubaydah b. Jarrah along with three hundred (300) men to attack and punish the tribe of Juhaynah at al-Khabat” “on the seacoast” “five nights journey from Medina. This was a very difficult expedition and the Muslims suffered from intense hunger-so much so” “that they had to divide the dates by number. They even ate the leaves of trees for a month. However” “there was no fighting as the enemy had fled when they heard of the arrival of the Muslims.
In the end” “the Muslims caught a dead-sea creature (a whale) that came ashore and ate it for half a month (or twenty days” “according to Ibn Ishak). This is why this raid is also known as the 'expedition of fish.' They brought some of that stale meat to Muhammad and he ate it too.">>>.
<<<"Sahih Bukhari records that the Muslims ate the mountain like fish for eighteen days. Here is the Hadith:
Volume 3” “Book 44” “Number 663:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
"Allah's Apostle sent an army towards the east coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as their chief” “and the army consisted of three-hundred men including myself. We marched on till we reached a place where our food was about to finish. Abu- 'Ubaida ordered us to collect all the journey food and it was collected. My (our) journey food was dates. Abu 'Ubaida kept on giving us our daily ration in small amounts from it” “till it was exhausted. The share of everyone of us used to be one date only." I said” “"How could one date benefit you?" Jabir replied” “"We came to know its value when even that too finished." Jabir added” “"When we reached the sea-shore” “we saw a huge fish which was like a small mountain. The army ate from it for eighteen days. Then Abu 'Ubaida ordered that two of its ribs be fixed and they were fixed in the ground. Then he ordered that a she-camel be ridden and it passed under the two ribs (forming an arch) without touching them.">>>.
This practice of spilling blood of the innocents continued right on in early Islam. Here is a short list of some of these blood spilling afairs:
[1] Beheading the leader of B. Jusham at al Ghabah by Abd Allah ibn Hadrad - November” “629CE [still being practiced today by members of Islam.]
[2] Raid on a passing caravan at Batn al-Idam by Abd Allah b. Abi Hadrad - November” “629CE [An example of desert piracy and blood spilling.]

And fighting in it was made legal for me for a few hours of a day only. None is allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut down its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its Luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce it publicly."

CONTINUED EARLY BLOOD SPILLING BY ISLAM IN THE MIDDLE AGES:
A few salient examples will be given to illustrate how Islam” “the sham religion” “ never stopped its evil and wicked blood spilling hate” “greed” “and lust for violence during the middle ages:
[1] <<<" Malik Kafur” “the general of Alauddin Khalji” “gave the Raja of Dwarsamudra a choice between Islam” “death or payment of a huge idemnity.25 But under Muhammad bin Tughlaq there is greater insistence on the vanquished Hindu princes to embrace Islam. The most glaring example of this is that during the Warangal campaign all the eleven sons of the Raja of Kampila were made Muslims. Muhammad bin Tughlaq converted many people in this fashion. When Firoz Tughlaq invaded Jajnagar (Orissa)” “he captured the son of the Rai of Sikhar” “converted him to Islam” “and gave him the name of Shakr Khan.
The process of enslavement during war went on under the Khaljis and the Tughlaqs. Alauddin had 50,000 slaves37 some of whom were mere boys,38 and surely many captured during war. Firoz Tughlaq had issued an order that whichever places were sacked” “in them the captives should be sorted out and the best ones (fit for service with the Sultan) should be forwarded to the court.39 Soon he was enabled to collect 180,000 slaves.40 Ziyauddin Barani's description of the Slave Market in Delhi (such markets were there in other places also) during the reign of Alauddin Khalji” “shows that fresh batches of slaves were constantly replenishing them.41>

Islam has spread in many parts of the world through wars and campaigns[[Its spread was not peaceful but by the proverbial sword]].

The monarch was committed to make Islam the true basis of private and public life through the enforcement of the Shariat and to convert the people to the "true faith". In India the Muslim rulers' keenness to obtain converts in war is vouched by many chroniclers. The Tarikh-i-Muhammadi gives a clear idea of the psychology of the rulers in this regard.

He says that while fighting Rai Subir (Sumer) in the vicinity of Iraj” “the Sultan thought: 'If I will give orders to the army to fight (outright)” “they will not leave even a trace of the Kafirs [[none Muslims]] in the region” “but if I shall advance slowly” “then probably these people will agree to embrace Islam."3
What professor Mohammad Habib writes concerning the Mongol applies equally to Turkish expeditions. "In 1330 the country was invaded by the Mongols who indulged in arson” “rape and murder throughout the Valley (of Kashmir). The king and the Brahmans fled away but among the inhabitants who remained... Muslim ways of life were gradually adopted by the people as the only alternative..."4 Thus warfare brought captives” “and captives were made Musalmans. Such was not the situation only in the North; in South also such methods of conversion prevailed” “especially during wars between Bahmani and Vijayanagar kingdoms. Throughout the medieval period such wars were common” “and forcible conversions [[Conversions by the proverbial sword.]] helped in the rapid growth of Muslim population.
The rulers used force and persuasion in equal measure. Their resources were great. They could give jobs” “honours” “and titles and many other economic concessions and status benefits as inducements to conversion” “and many people would have taken advantage of these facilities. We have referred to Mubarak Khalji's encouragement to Hindus to accept Islam by presenting the convert with a robe and a gold ornament. People used to be converted in this fashion right up to the reign of Aurangzeb and perhaps even thereafter. There were other methods too.
The Banshasmriti of Satya Krishna Biswas states that in Bengal the Rajas and Zamindars who could not deposit land revenue by a certain date had to convert to Muhammadanism. The Banshasmriti narrates an isolated incident” “but as this regulation of the thirteenth century had been revived by Murshid Quli Khan” “or had continued right up to his times” “many local Rajas and Zamindars would have been converted in the course of four centuries” “for full payment of land tax by due date was not always possible. Firoz Tughlaq (1351-88) instructed his revenue collectors to convert Hindus to Islam.5 He rescinded the Jiziyah to lure people to become Muhammadans” “and this measure brought large additions to Muslim population. In his Fatuhat-i-Firoz Shahi” “Sultan Firoz Tughlaq candidly writes: "I encouraged my infidel subjects to embrace the religion of the prophet and I proclaimed that everyone who repeated the Kalima of tauhid and became Musalman should be exempt from Jiziyah... Information of this came to the ears of the people at large” “and great number of Hindus presented themselves” “and were admitted to the honour of Islam. Thus they came forward day by day from every quarter” “go on coming to this day” “and adopting the faith” “are exonerated from the Jiziyah” “and are favoured with Khilats and presents."6 [[Taxed enslaved subjects that would NOT convert to try and force their conversion; i.e.” “no affording of the basic human right of freedom of conscience]].

Now let's look at what others had to say about this greatest of all genocides:
Historian Will Durant wrote his book The Story of Civilization:” “<<<"The Mohammadan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale” “for its evident moral is that civilization is a precarious thing” “whose delicate complex of order and liberty” “culture and peace may at any time be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within." [source - "The Story of Civilization” “" by Will Durant the great American historian]>>>.
French historian Alain Danielou wrote in his book Histoire de l'Inde:” “<<<"From the moment when the Muslims arrive in India” “the history of India does not have any more great interest. It is long and monotonous series of murder” “massacres” “spoilations” “destruction." [source - "Histoire de l'Inde," by Alain Danielou” “great French historian]>>>.
Hindu sage Padmanabha described in his KanhaDade Prabandha in 1456 AD the story of the Islamic invasion of Gujarat of 1298 AD:” “<<<"The conquering army burnt villages” “devastated the land” “plundered people's wealth” “took Brahmins ( priestly hindu class ) and children and women of all classes captive” “flogged with thongs of raw hide” “carried a moving prison with it” “and converted the prisoners into obsequious slaves.">>>.
Tarikh-i-Yamini of Utbi the sultan's secretary wrote in the 11th century: <<<"The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously at Thanesar that the stream was discoloured” “notwithstanding its purity” “and people were unable to drink it. The Sultan returned with plunder which is impossible to count." [source - "the story of the Islamic invasion of Gujarat of 1298 AD:” “" [source - English translation)” “by Padmanabha” “a famous Hindu of the 15 th. Century].
[12] Also” “hateful” “greedy” “and lustful for violence members of Islam set out in the Eighth Century to steal all of Spain and to kill all that resisted” “<<<" In 711 AD” “the non-White Muslim invasion finally reached Spain” “having swept up out of the Saudi Arabian peninsula” “conquered Egypt” “Libya” “Tunisia and North Africa to the Gibraltar Strait.
Launching a ferocious assault across the narrow strait” “the Muslims defeated the Gothic kingdom in stages and managed to establish what became known as Moorish rule over the greatest part of Spain and Portugal” “with only the very northern parts remaining in Gothic hands."

[2] In the United States and elsewhere” “an Australian newspaper did a summary of the violence and were quite conservative in their findings as the percentage should probably be higher than they gave in their summary. <<<" The Newspaper article is but a summary of evidence from around the world some of which was presented immediately below it” “all from reliable world news sources. I presented a newspaper with a summary of it as it would take a many volume book to present it all. Apparently you fail to read the news daily with regard to how many murders are being committed daily in Iraq” “Pakistan” “Afghanistan” “Iraq” “Thailand” “Indonesia” “Egypt” “etc. by members of Islam. Also” “you show you fail to listen to Al Jazzera and BBC to hear the proof of what the newspaper summarized - do you dig it? The world would be a much more tranquil and peaceful place without Islam” “and even more so without apostate (counterfeit) so called Christianity. Let's look once more at what I posted in the past:
The Weekend Australian (newspaper) had this to say on the matter” “
<<"Did you know that 90-95% of the conflicts in the world today are Muslims fighting non-muslims or each other?
Islam is intolerant of other religions” “so much so that Christians in Nigeria” “Sudan and middle eastern countries are killed for practicing their religion. Muslims are also responsible for burning down their churches. Sydney has recently seen an attack on four churches for similar reasons. (December 16” “2005) How can we tolerate such intolerance?">>.[7]
Says it all” “so clearly Islam should be redefined as something other than a religion. So it is very necessary that this greed and hate be addressed. Remember” “Matthew 5:9” “"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." (AV).
Let's consider the facts as continually revealed in the world news that shows if any thing that the newspaper editor may have been a little low when he said 95 percent of the violence in the world was caused by Muslims. Here are some instances of terrorism by members of Islam:[7]
(1) World Trade Center - 9/11 - unprovoked attack and mass murder by Muslims.[8]
(2) London Subway Bombing by Muslims [9]
(3) Continued mosque bombings in Iraq by Muslims.[10](4) Suicide bombings in Israel by Muslims.[11]

104 Killed In Terror Attack on Mumbai
28 November 2008MUMBAI” “India -- Black-clad Indian commandoes raided two luxury hotels to try to free hostages Thursday evening” “and explosions and gunshots shook India's financial capital a day after suspected Muslim militants killed 104 people.
Rescue efforts continued throughout the day amid sporadic gunfire” “with some hostages escaping and others rescued by police. Several bodies were carried out of the five-star Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel” “one of 10 sites seized by gunmen on Wednesday night.
More than 300 were also injured in the highly coordinated attacks by bands of gunmen armed with assault rifles” “hand grenades and explosives.
Flames burst from the hotel's top floors and dome shortly after the attacks began Wednesday night and erupted again after commandoes raided the building Thursday.
After dusk Thursday” “the soldiers ushered several dozen captives out of the Oberoi Hotel” “another Mumbai landmark.
The Russian Consulate in Mumbai had received no reports of Russians being killed or injured in the attacks” “Consul General Alexei Redkin said” “Interfax reported Thursday evening. …
"A counterterrorism operation is still under way” “so we have asked the flight attendants to remain in their rooms” “and we are in contact with them," Redkin said. "The women are not and have not at any point been hostage to the terrorists” “and for their own safety” “at the request of the Indian authorities” “they are not trying to leave the hotel."
The consulate had evacuated nine Russian specialists from state arms export agency Rosoboronexport who had been staying at the hotels that were attacked” “Redkin said” “Interfax reported. Eight Aeroflot employees staying at another hotel in the area had also been moved” “he said.
One of the freed hostages” “who did not give his name” “told reporters that he had seen many bodies inside the hotel. He refused to give more details” “saying he had promised police not to discuss the rescue while it was ongoing.
The Maharashtra State Home Ministry said 45 captives had been freed from the Oberoi and 35 were still trapped inside.
Police said they were going slowly to protect the captives.
"The safety of the people trapped is very important," said A. N. Roy” “a senior police officer. "It will take time” “but it will be completed successfully," he said.
Among the dead were at least one Australian” “a Japanese and a British national” “said Pradeep Indulkar” “a senior government official of Maharashtra state” “whose capital is Mumbai. An Italian and a German were also killed” “according to their foreign ministries.
Police said 104 people were killed and 314 injured. Officials said eight militants were also killed.
The most high-profile target was the Taj” “a favorite watering hole of the city's elite.
Soldiers outside the hotel said the operation would take a long time” “as forces were moving slowly from room to room looking for gunmen and traps.
In the afternoon” “bodies and hostages slowly emerged from the building. At least three bodies” “covered in white cloth” “were wheeled out.
The attackers” “dressed in black shirts and jeans” “had stormed into the hotel at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday and opened fire indiscriminately.
The shooting was followed by a series of explosions that set fire to parts of the century-old edifice on Mumbai's waterfront. Screams were heard” “and black smoke and flames billowed” “continuing to burn until dawn.
The gunmen also seized the Mumbai headquarters of the ultra-orthodox Jewish outreach group Chabad Lubavitch. About 10:30 a.m.” “a woman” “a child and an Indian cook were seen being led out of the building by police” “a witness said.
Among those foreigners still held captive in all three buildings were Americans” “British” “Canadians” “Israelis” “Italians” “New Zealanders” “a Singaporian” “Spaniards” “Swedes” “Turks and Yemenis.
At least three top Indian police officers -- including the chief of the anti-terror squad -- were among those killed” “said Roy.
Russia” “the United States and Pakistan were among the countries that condemned the attacks.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev” “in Venezuela on Thursday for talks with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez” “said the suffering is being widely felt.
He expressed dismay at the attacks during a visit to Venezuela Wednesday night” “saying” “"What these terrorist acts do is harm all of humanity."
In Washington” “U.S. President George W. Bush offered Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh "support and assistance" as he works to restore order in the growing Southwest Asian nation” “according to White House Press Secretary Dana Perino.
The motive for the onslaught was not immediately clear” “but Mumbai has frequently been targeted in terrorist attacks blamed on Islamic extremists” “including a series of bombings in July 2006 that killed 187 people.
An Indian media report said a previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attacks in e-mails to several media outlets. There was no way to verify that claim.”

See Part Two:
INTRODUCTION:
To many” “this question with regard to when a religion should be dissolved in the interest of world peace may seem unthinkable as all should be granted the basic human right of freedom of conscience – freedom of religion. However” “all freedoms must be constrained when they are used to injure and hurt others; to wit” “one’s freedom should end when it is used to injure” “murder” “and hurt others.
Many do not realize that good people can be in evil false religions” “but this is indeed the case.
Many people have difficulty seeing the difference between people” “good or bad” “and the religion they are in” “and feel when someone mentions the evil bad of a false religion they are also talking about the mislead individuals that belong to it.
These selfsame people fail to realize that most of mankind is being mislead by the religious leaders of evil false religions and/or egotistical men who believe what they say takes precedence over the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH)” “the Bible. In addition” “it is not what either the Bible or the Bible knockoff the Qur'an or other so called holy book actually say” “but how religious leaders be they priest and/or imams or muftis or what ever teach the people is the interpretation of what is written either in the Bible or the bible knockoff the Qur'an that matters and governs actions. It matters not what the Bible and/or the Bible knockoff really say. People go by what they are taught by their religious leaders. Take the genocide committed by the Roman Catholic Church at the direction of their supreme religious leader” “the pope” “what mattered was not that the Bible clearly said at Exodus 20:13” “"Thou shalt not kill." (Authorized King James Bible; AV)” “but what their religious leaders told them. Therefore” “it is the religion at fault” “irregardless of what their particular holy book” “be it the Bible or the Bible knockoff the Qur'an may say. Neither in so called Christianity or in Islam are most individuals actions really governed in any way by what their particular holy book really says” “but they are governed by the interpretation of their religious leaders. Thus” “knowing this reality” “one would be either just plain stupid and/or dumb to even bother looking at a particular religion's holy book and expect the members would conform to it. Take the Rig Vede and find me for example a Hindu actually conforming to it instead of the interpretation given to it by his religious leaders” “like looking for a needle in the haystack per K.S. Lal” “India's greatest historian.
The truth is most religious leaders either take things out of context and/or twist what their particular 'holy book' says to further their personal agendas or the agendas of the particular evil false religion they represent” “what ever that may be. In reality” “little thought or concern is ever given to what a particular 'holy book' actually says. Nowhere is this more true than with religious leaders who claim to be using the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH)” “the Bible” “as their guide. This practice is particularly dishonoring of the Creator of all there is” “Almighty God (YHWH)” “because it brings dishonor on his Inspired Word” “the Bible” “by many who see those proclaiming to follow the Bible are NOT really doing so. This hypocrisy gives many the wrong impression of the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH)” “the Bible” “and unjustly brings reproach on it. This is very unfortunate and fits right in with the god of this system of things” “Satan the Devil” “with regard his continuing attempt to mislead all of mankind if possible.
When a religion let’s its religious leaders get totally out of bounds and endanger world peace” “it is time to dissolve it. Now of course this is NOT to be taken as saying and/or implying that all the religious leaders in a particular religion are bad people. However” “if the good religious leaders in a religion can NOT control the bad actions of other religious leaders within the group or do NOT desire to do so” “and the unchecked actions of the bad ones endanger world peace” “it is time to dissolve the religion.
Let’s look at an actual example where the good religious leaders of a religion are NOT reining in the bad” “i.e.” “NOT cleaning out the bad ones either by excommunication and/or other means where dissolution may be the best solution” “and where religious freedom can be maintained by giving members of this religion the opportunity to choose any of the other 33,000 plus religions.
A SO CALLED RELIGION THAT HAS SPILLED BLOOD FROM ITS BEGINNING:
Islam has spilled blood since its foundation in the Seventh Century. Let's look at its very beginnings” “a raid on a camel caravan with spilling of blood.
<<<" Raid on B. Qudah at Dhat al-Salasil by Amr b. al-As - September” “629CE
Having suffered a terrible defeat in the hands of B. Qudah at Dhat Atlah” “coupled with the ignoble retreat of the Muslim army from Mu'tah” “Muhammad's prestige was greatly affected. It is said that he also received intelligence that a number of tribes” “including B. Qudah were now preparing to attack Medina. To salvage his reputation he now empowered Amr b. al-As” “the new convert of Islam” “to push for a decisive raid on the stubborn B. Qudah tribe. Amr b. al-As was very furious that some of these tribes had taken the side of the Byzantine party during the Mu'tah battle. It was time to punish them-Muhammad determined.
So with three hundred (300) men and thirty horses” “Amr b. al-As set out to decimate the rebellious B. Qudah who were settled at Dhat al-Salasil. It was at a distance of ten days march from Medina. Amr b. al-As' grandmother (i.e.” “the mother of al-As b. Wail” “the father of Amr b. al-As) was a woman from Qudah or Bali tribe and Muhammad sent Amr b. al-As to convert her and her people to Islam by force. When Amr arrived at Dhat al-Salasil he found that the enemy had heavily outnumbered the Muslims.
Because of the feeble Islamic forces at his disposal Amr b. al-As sought reinforcement from Muhammad. The messenger of Allah quickly sent Abu Bakr b. Quhafa with an additional two hundred (200) men to assist Amr b. al-As. Thus” “the total number of men now numbered five hundred (500)."

In the end” “the Muslims caught a dead-sea creature (a whale) that came ashore and ate it for half a month (or twenty days” “according to Ibn Ishak). This is why this raid is also known as the 'expedition of fish.' They brought some of that stale meat to Muhammad and he ate it too.">>>.

[1] <<<" Malik Kafur” “the general of Alauddin Khalji” “gave the Raja of Dwarsamudra a choice between Islam” “death or payment of a huge idemnity.25 But under Muhammad bin Tughlaq there is greater insistence on the vanquished Hindu princes to embrace Islam. The most glaring example of this is that during the Warangal campaign all the eleven sons of the Raja of Kampila were made Muslims. Muhammad bin Tughlaq converted many people in this fashion. When Firoz Tughlaq invaded Jajnagar (Orissa)” “he captured the son of the Rai of Sikhar” “converted him to Islam” “and gave him the name of Shakr Khan.
The process of enslavement during war went on under the Khaljis and the Tughlaqs. Alauddin had 50,000 slaves37 some of whom were mere boys,38 and surely many captured during war. Firoz Tughlaq had issued an order that whichever places were sacked” “in them the captives should be sorted out and the best ones (fit for service with the Sultan) should be forwarded to the court.39 Soon he was enabled to collect 180,000 slaves.40 Ziyauddin Barani's description of the Slave Market in Delhi (such markets were there in other places also) during the reign of Alauddin Khalji” “shows that fresh batches of slaves were constantly replenishing them.41>

This clearly showing that the Muslims were responsible for the greatest genocide in all of human history” “but let's look at more facts with respect this crime against humanity.
Let's look at a quote from Chapter 5 of a history book by India's greatest historian” “K.S. Lal” “see information about him in the footnote at end of quote” “<<<"Factors Contributing to the Growth of Muslim Population” “Conversions -
Islam has spread in many parts of the world through wars and campaigns[[Its spread was not peaceful but by the proverbial sword]]. In the medieval Indian chronicles the sovereign is always mentioned as 'the king of Islam'“ “the territories of his empire are referred to as the 'land of Islam'“ “its armies as 'soldiers of Islam'“ “and its religious and Judicial head as 'Shaikh-ul-Islam'. The monarch was committed to make Islam the true basis of private and public life through the enforcement of the Shariat and to convert the people to the "true faith". In India the Muslim rulers' keenness to obtain converts in war is vouched by many chroniclers. The Tarikh-i-Muhammadi gives a clear idea of the psychology of the rulers in this regard. Its author was a contemporary of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud” “the son of Firoz Tughlaq. He says that while fighting Rai Subir (Sumer) in the vicinity of Iraj” “the Sultan thought: 'If I will give orders to the army to fight (outright)” “they will not leave even a trace of the Kafirs [[none Muslims]] in the region” “but if I shall advance slowly” “then probably these people will agree to embrace Islam."3
What professor Mohammad Habib writes concerning the Mongol applies equally to Turkish expeditions. "In 1330 the country was invaded by the Mongols who indulged in arson” “rape and murder throughout the Valley (of Kashmir). The king and the Brahmans fled away but among the inhabitants who remained... Muslim ways of life were gradually adopted by the people as the only alternative..."4 Thus warfare brought captives” “and captives were made Musalmans. Such was not the situation only in the North; in South also such methods of conversion prevailed” “especially during wars between Bahmani and Vijayanagar kingdoms. Throughout the medieval period such wars were common” “and forcible conversions [[Conversions by the proverbial sword.]] helped in the rapid growth of Muslim population.
The rulers used force and persuasion in equal measure. Their resources were great. They could give jobs” “honours” “and titles and many other economic concessions and status benefits as inducements to conversion” “and many people would have taken advantage of these facilities. We have referred to Mubarak Khalji's encouragement to Hindus to accept Islam by presenting the convert with a robe and a gold ornament. People used to be converted in this fashion right up to the reign of Aurangzeb and perhaps even thereafter. There were other methods too.
The Banshasmriti of Satya Krishna Biswas states that in Bengal the Rajas and Zamindars who could not deposit land revenue by a certain date had to convert to Muhammadanism. The Banshasmriti narrates an isolated incident” “but as this regulation of the thirteenth century had been revived by Murshid Quli Khan” “or had continued right up to his times” “many local Rajas and Zamindars would have been converted in the course of four centuries” “for full payment of land tax by due date was not always possible. Firoz Tughlaq (1351-88) instructed his revenue collectors to convert Hindus to Islam.5 He rescinded the Jiziyah to lure people to become Muhammadans” “and this measure brought large additions to Muslim population. In his Fatuhat-i-Firoz Shahi” “Sultan Firoz Tughlaq candidly writes: "I encouraged my infidel subjects to embrace the religion of the prophet and I proclaimed that everyone who repeated the Kalima of tauhid and became Musalman should be exempt from Jiziyah... Information of this came to the ears of the people at large” “and great number of Hindus presented themselves” “and were admitted to the honour of Islam. Thus they came forward day by day from every quarter” “go on coming to this day” “and adopting the faith” “are exonerated from the Jiziyah” “and are favoured with Khilats and presents."6 [[Taxed enslaved subjects that would NOT convert to try and force their conversion; i.e.” “no affording of the basic human right of freedom of conscience]].

[2] In the United States and elsewhere” “an Australian newspaper did a summary of the violence and were quite conservative in their findings as the percentage should probably be higher than they gave in their summary. <<<" The Newspaper article is but a summary of evidence from around the world some of which was presented immediately below it” “all from reliable world news sources. I presented a newspaper with a summary of it as it would take a many volume book to present it all. Apparently you fail to read the news daily with regard to how many murders are being committed daily in Iraq” “Pakistan” “Afghanistan” “Iraq” “Thailand” “Indonesia” “Egypt” “etc. by members of Islam. Also” “you show you fail to listen to Al Jazzera and BBC to hear the proof of what the newspaper summarized - do you dig it? The world would be a much more tranquil and peaceful place without Islam” “and even more so without apostate (counterfeit) so called Christianity. Let's look once more at what I posted in the past:
The Weekend Australian (newspaper) had this to say on the matter” “
<<"Did you know that 90-95% of the conflicts in the world today are Muslims fighting non-muslims or each other?
Islam is intolerant of other religions” “so much so that Christians in Nigeria” “Sudan and middle eastern countries are killed for practicing their religion. Muslims are also responsible for burning down their churches. Sydney has recently seen an attack on four churches for similar reasons. (December 16” “2005) How can we tolerate such intolerance?">>.[7]
Says it all” “so clearly Islam should be redefined as something other than a religion. So it is very necessary that this greed and hate be addressed. Remember” “Matthew 5:9” “"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." (AV).
Let's consider the facts as continually revealed in the world news that shows if any thing that the newspaper editor may have been a little low when he said 95 percent of the violence in the world was caused by Muslims. Here are some instances of terrorism by members of Islam:[7]
(1) World Trade Center - 9/11 - unprovoked attack and mass murder by Muslims.[8]
(2) London Subway Bombing by Muslims [9]
(3) Continued mosque bombings in Iraq by Muslims.[10](4) Suicide bombings in Israel by Muslims.[11]

(12) Unprovoked murder of 2 Israelis and the kidnapping of 1 by Muslims to provoke turmoil and violence in Gaza by Muslims.[19]
(13) Bombing of restaurants and cafes in Bali” “Indonesia by Muslims.[20]
(14) Bombing of a trains in India by Muslims.[21]
(15) Take over o***rammar school in Russia resulting in the deaths of many students by Muslims.[22]
(16) Attempted shoebombing of a plain by a Muslim.[23]
(17) Conspiracy to bomb about 10 planes going from UK by Muslims.[24]
(18) Attempted murder of several Indian politicians in Kashmir by Muslims.[25]
(19) Many violent acts by Muslims in Afghanistan.[26]
(20) Murder o***irl by Shiite Muslims in Iran.[27]
(21) Conspiracy to bomb trains in Germany - as previously posted for you.[28]

104 Killed In Terror Attack on Mumbai
28 November 2008MUMBAI” “India -- Black-clad Indian commandoes raided two luxury hotels to try to free hostages Thursday evening” “and explosions and gunshots shook India's financial capital a day after suspected Muslim militants killed 104 people.
Rescue efforts continued throughout the day amid sporadic gunfire” “with some hostages escaping and others rescued by police. Several bodies were carried out of the five-star Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel” “one of 10 sites seized by gunmen on Wednesday night.
More than 300 were also injured in the highly coordinated attacks by bands of gunmen armed with assault rifles” “hand grenades and explosives.
Flames burst from the hotel's top floors and dome shortly after the attacks began Wednesday night and erupted again after commandoes raided the building Thursday.
After dusk Thursday” “the soldiers ushered several dozen captives out of the Oberoi Hotel” “another Mumbai landmark.
The Russian Consulate in Mumbai had received no reports of Russians being killed or injured in the attacks” “Consul General Alexei Redkin said” “Interfax reported Thursday evening. …
"A counterterrorism operation is still under way” “so we have asked the flight attendants to remain in their rooms” “and we are in contact with them," Redkin said. "The women are not and have not at any point been hostage to the terrorists” “and for their own safety” “at the request of the Indian authorities” “they are not trying to leave the hotel."
The consulate had evacuated nine Russian specialists from state arms export agency Rosoboronexport who had been staying at the hotels that were attacked” “Redkin said” “Interfax reported. Eight Aeroflot employees staying at another hotel in the area had also been moved” “he said.
One of the freed hostages” “who did not give his name” “told reporters that he had seen many bodies inside the hotel. He refused to give more details” “saying he had promised police not to discuss the rescue while it was ongoing.
The Maharashtra State Home Ministry said 45 captives had been freed from the Oberoi and 35 were still trapped inside.
Police said they were going slowly to protect the captives.
"The safety of the people trapped is very important," said A. N. Roy” “a senior police officer. "It will take time” “but it will be completed successfully," he said.
Among the dead were at least one Australian” “a Japanese and a British national” “said Pradeep Indulkar” “a senior government official of Maharashtra state” “whose capital is Mumbai. An Italian and a German were also killed” “according to their foreign ministries.
Police said 104 people were killed and 314 injured. Officials said eight militants were also killed.
The most high-profile target was the Taj” “a favorite watering hole of the city's elite.
Soldiers outside the hotel said the operation would take a long time” “as forces were moving slowly from room to room looking for gunmen and traps.
In the afternoon” “bodies and hostages slowly emerged from the building. At least three bodies” “covered in white cloth” “were wheeled out.
The attackers” “dressed in black shirts and jeans” “had stormed into the hotel at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday and opened fire indiscriminately.
The shooting was followed by a series of explosions that set fire to parts of the century-old edifice on Mumbai's waterfront. Screams were heard” “and black smoke and flames billowed” “continuing to burn until dawn.
The gunmen also seized the Mumbai headquarters of the ultra-orthodox Jewish outreach group Chabad Lubavitch. About 10:30 a.m.” “a woman” “a child and an Indian cook were seen being led out of the building by police” “a witness said.
Among those foreigners still held captive in all three buildings were Americans” “British” “Canadians” “Israelis” “Italians” “New Zealanders” “a Singaporian” “Spaniards” “Swedes” “Turks and Yemenis.
At least three top Indian police officers -- including the chief of the anti-terror squad -- were among those killed” “said Roy.
Russia” “the United States and Pakistan were among the countries that condemned the attacks.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev” “in Venezuela on Thursday for talks with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez” “said the suffering is being widely felt.
He expressed dismay at the attacks during a visit to Venezuela Wednesday night” “saying” “"What these terrorist acts do is harm all of humanity."
In Washington” “U.S. President George W. Bush offered Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh "support and assistance" as he works to restore order in the growing Southwest Asian nation” “according to White House Press Secretary Dana Perino.
The motive for the onslaught was not immediately clear” “but Mumbai has frequently been targeted in terrorist attacks blamed on Islamic extremists” “including a series of bombings in July 2006 that killed 187 people.
An Indian media report said a previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attacks in e-mails to several media outlets. There was no way to verify that claim.”
