Question

Muhammed was involved in 66 wars. Is that the mark of a true prophet of God or a true prophet of violence?

Answer 1

Yes, he survived 27 wars and all these wars were againt wickedness, disbelief and oppression.

From where did you get 66?? Why people feel compelled to tell lies to undermine a great man?

Answer 2

Well, God directed the Israelites to attack and massacre the populations of countries in the Levant.  Muhammad's involvement in wars seems consistent with that of Joshua.

Answer 3

That's what they mean when they say that Islam was spread by the sword. He got men to fight for him, by promising them s*x with virgins in heaven.  

Answer 4

Hey, he survived 66 wars, buddy. Show some respect.

Interesting, that if he was your prophet, you'd probably say God protected him.

Answer 5

God committed Genocide. Is that a loving God who created humans knowing he would have to murder them or is it a sign of a loving god? Sounds like a prophet of God to me.

Answer 6

Peace and blessings be upon you.

I don't know if they are 66 wars or how much .

but what i know , is how Mohammed deal In his wars, from Koran and the history.

Mohammed and his followers tolerated the torture and injustice for 13 years in Maka till the God allowed them to fight.: surah 22:

[39] To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged; and verily, Allah is Most Powerful for their aid.

Islam is the religion of peace: Surah 8:

[61] But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is the One that Heareth and Knoweth (all things).

Surah 25 : [63] And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!"

The God said to Mohammed to call for Islam by what?!

Surah 26: [125] Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.

The war was never for control or aggression or Greed :

Surah 2: [190] Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.

And if someone say we want peace with you ,even if we know that they lie ,we doon't refuse as the God said:

Surah 4:  [94] O ye who believe! when ye go abroad in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to anyone who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a Believer!" coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: therefore carefully investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do.

Also we are order to be justic even with those who don't believe: for no cause but as the God love justice.

Surah 5: [8] O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to Piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

Mohammed never forced anyone to follow Islam for 2 causes :

Surah 2: [256] Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

Surah:10: [99] If it had been thy Lord's Will, they would all have believed, all who are on earth! Wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe!

so in his wars ,he gave everyone the freedom to practice his religion as he want , but he didn't wanted the kings to force their nations on a religion but for each humanbeing to know that there is a religion came from the God and Mohammed is just a prophet came with the message.
