Mr. Nepali Pandit , Here is answer to the video you posted ,which is deleted now.
I dont understand why?? :?:
Mr. Serge Trifkovic rhetorically asks: Explain the continuity of violence from the earliest day of Islam, from the earliest days of the prophet and his immediate successors throughout the 13 centuries of recorded history.
Answer: Dear Sir, from the earliest day of Islam and the earliest days of the exalted prophet and his noble companions, five of whom were his immediate successors, the Commandment has been,
Hold back your hands unless war is imposed upon you. [4:77]
Fighting was allowed only in self-defense.
2:190 Fight in the cause of God those who wage war against you, but do not commit aggression. God does not love aggressors.
Every single battle the exalted prophet fought along with his noble companions, again, five of whom were his immediate successors, was in self-defense. The fact that they were fought around Madinah is sufficient proof of the defensive nature of these battles. The most famous Battles of Badr, Uhud, Ahzab, all took place around Madinah. Who attacked the peaceful and progressive State of Madinah? The Battle of Hunain is the only exception of distance, but then the exalted prophet and his companions were peacefully returning from Makkah in AH 8 (629 CE) and two tribes (Hawaazan and Thaqeef) unexpectedly attacked them only to get miserably defeated.
For the greatest benevolent Revolution in all history, in all the battles, the loss of life was minimal with 259 Muslims and 759 opponents getting slain, a total of 1,018. Not a single non-combatant, a child, a woman or the elderly was ever killed or harmed by Muslims.
13 Centuries? Sufficient it is to think of the greatest ever wars, WWI & WWII, fought in the Name of God between nations that called themselves Christian. Also, think of the longest ever HUNDRED YEARS WAR (French: Guerre de Cent Ans) which in fact lasted 116 years from 1337 to 1453 between France and Britain.
Edward Gibbon - History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire London 1788:
. The greatest crime, the greatest sin of Mohammad in the eyes of the Christian West is that he did not allow himself to be slaughtered, to be crucified by his enemies. He only defended himself, his family and his followers; and finally vanquished his enemies. Mohammads success is the Christians gall of disappointment . He did not believe in any vicarious sacrifices for the sins of others.
Mr. Robert Spencer: Another very personable gentleman raises the issue that Islam and Islamic Civilization actually sanction the violence and that Islam mandates violence against the unbelievers.
Answer: Dear Sir, the foremost Source of Islamic Doctrine, Theology, Civilization and Law, Al-Quran, is right before us. Let us see what it has to say.
49:13 O Mankind! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes so that you may affectionately come to know one another. Certainly, the most honored among you, in the Sight of God, is the one who is best in conduct. God is Knower, Aware.
60:7 It may well be that God will bring about affection between you and those whom you now consider enemies. God is Able to do all things, and God is Forgiving, Merciful.
60:8 God does not forbid you from being kind, and fully equitable to those who do not fight you on account of Religion, and do not evict you from your homelands. God loves those who lead a just, balanced life.
5:2 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! . Let not the hatred of a people lead you to transgression . Help one another in acts of collective benefit and righteousness, and do not help one another in deeds that hurt humanity and in creating a wedge between people. Be mindful of God. .
41:34 Since good and evil cannot be alike, repel evil with what is decent. Then he, between whom and you there was enmity, may become close friends.
Dear Sir, the exalted prophet said, If any non-Muslim is wronged in the Islamic State, I will personally plead on his/her behalf.
Ms Bat Yeor: The soft-spoken, elderly lady maintains that the Muslims want to impose all over the world the only religion, the only true religion, the only just religion which is Islam; and the suppression of all other religions in order to establish the Rule of Allah over the whole earth. This is a religious duty which binds the whole community. The Muslim Community is obliged to impose because they are obliged to obey the order of Allah and this is the desire of Allah as expressed in the Koranic Revelation.
Answer: Respected Madam, you make me feel good with the glad tiding that Muslims are united at least somewhere. You said, This is a religious duty which binds the whole community. I wish something were binding the Muslim Community together! Far from being united, Muslims today, because of forsaking the Quran, are divided into nearly 200 sects and one sect is busy fighting the other. But Allah prefers unity in diversity for all mankind and to that effect, He has given we humans free will. Allah ordains freedom of religion for all and He honors different kinds of temples and a variety of traditions and rites among people as you will find below.
Freedom of religion:
2:193 So, fight them (the religious oppressors) only until there is no more harassment, and religion may be adopted for the sake of God alone. And if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against those who replace peace with aggression.
2:256 There is absolutely no compulsion or coercion in Religion. The right direction has been made distinct from error. .
18:29 And proclaim, This is the truth from your Lord. Whoever accepts it let him accept it, and whoever rejects it, let him reject it. .
Unity in diversity:
5:48 . For each community among you We have appointed certain rites and a traced-out way. If God had willed, He could have made you all one single community. But He decided to let you test yourselves by what potentials He has granted you. So, outdo one another in doing good to the society..
Mankind is one community since all humans are equally worthy of honor.
17:70 Surely, We have conferred dignity on children of Adam (as a birth right, regardless of where the child is born) .
Sanctity of all places of worship:
22:40 (Allah is Able to help) Those who have been evicted from their homes unjustly, for no reason other than saying, Our Lord is God! For, if God had not enabled some people to repel others, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and Masjids, where the Name of God is oft mentioned, would have been destroyed. And God will certainly help those who help Him. God is Mighty, Powerful.
Dear Maam! I will be very grateful if you could please show me a single place where imposition (of religion) is the desire of Allah as expressed in the Quranic Revelation.
Bertrand Russell - History of Western Philosophy, London, 1948:
Our use of phrase The Dark ages to cover the period from 699 to 1,000 marks our undue concentration on Western Europe. From India to Spain, the brilliant civilization of Islam flourished. What was lost to Christendom at this time was not lost to civilization, but quite the contrary. To us it seems that West-European civilization is civilization, but this is a narrow view.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Letter to Eckermann 1830, Sir Henry Elliotts collection, 1865:
The teachings of Islam can fail under no circumstances. With all our systems of culture and civilization, we cannot go beyond Islam and, as a matter of fact, no human mind can go beyond the Koran.
The video continues in the most amicable manner with all participants adopting an extremely friendly attitude, speaking in a heart winning manner and body language.
Mr. Abdullah Al-Araby: The bespectacled, very personable gentleman says, I believe that those terrorists that want to do harm to others are applying the true Islam that was practiced by Muhammad and his followers in the early stage of Islam.
Answer: Dear Sir, with all due respect, it appears that you have presented some very biased history of Islam, and that, without pointing out the source of your information. Almost all histories reiterate the fact that the exalted prophet, in his entire life, never even pricked any person with a needle.
Exception: A most staunch enemy, Umayyah bin Khalaf, had traveled all the way from Makkah along with a well armed soldiery of 3000 men for the Battle of Uhud near Madinah against greatly outnumbered Muslims. When he tried to attack the prophet, he only touched the man with his spear without wounding him in the least. Ibn Khalaf ran bewildered, screaming loud, so much so that his own friends taunted him for making a big deal out of nothing. He said, You do not know what I do. I know Im not injured but I also know that it was through the hand of Muhammad.
Dear Sir, the entire history will fail to give you a single example other than this of the exalted prophets extreme hostility against any human being.
Now, the Creed of Islam is shown on the video,
THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS PROPHET
Or:
There is no god but the One True God, and Muhammad is His Messenger.
Mr. Robert Spencer: Muhammad is revered today as the perfect man in Islamic Theology, a model par excellence and the primary model of human behavior.
Answer: Respected Sir, if you were truly aware of the noble character of Muhammad (S), you would agree with the Quran and numerous great western minds that the exalted prophet was indeed a role model for all mankind. The Glorious Book presents his own life as witness to this truth and not a single person could deny it in his life-time. Can there be a better criterion of the nobility of character?
10:16 Say, . I have dwelt among you a whole lifetime before this. (You have always called me Al-Ameen, the trustworthy and Sadiq, the truthful). Will you not, then, use your reason?
68:4 (O Prophet) Indeed, you have sublime morals.
Sir, not even the worst enemies of the exalted prophet could challenge these statements of the Quran.
Alphonse de LaMartaine - Historie de la Turquie, Paris, 1854:
If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws, and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and the souls.
Reverend Bosworth Smith - Muhammad and Muhammadanism, London, 1874:
Head of the State as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without the Popes pretensions, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a police force, without a fixed revenue. If ever a man ruled by a right divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the powers without their supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life.
Walid Shoebat: Well, Muhammad, the prophet of Islam wiped out all the Jews of Saudi Arabia. There were three tribes, Banu Nuzair, Banu Quraizah and Banu Qainqa. He ordered the beheading of the Jews of Banu Quraizah and the women being taken concubines. As soon as a child had pubic hair, he was beheaded. The Jewish population was either extradited or beheaded. The story of Rabiah Qanina is well recorded. Qanina was tortured by the order of the prophet himself. His eyes were put out. He was burned in order to confess where the Jewish Tribes were hiding their goods, their gold and silver, any kind of things. This is right from the Hadith. This inspired us as Palestinians on fighting Jihad against the Jews in Palestine.
Answer: Dear Sir, you have skipped the most authentic, first Source of Islam, the Quran, and jumped to Hadith and history written 250 to 350 years after the exalted prophet.
The oncoming video clip mentions Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Hisham.
Being an Arab, you must have read the originals and you should know quite well that even Ibn Ishaq d. 773 CE was half Jew and half Zoroastrian and his supposed biography of the prophet, even if ever written, was immediately lost. Imam Malik has called ibn Ishaq a big liar. Then more than half a century later Ibn Hisham d. 840 wrote ibn Ishaq on hearsay from Ziyad al-Bakai (Magian), Musailma Abrash (Jewish) and Hamid Razi (Magian). [Seerah Ibn Ishaq has been forged from ibn Hisham as late as 2000 CE under fictitious names.] Ibn Hishams strategy was most sinister. He would narrate some lines complimentary to the exalted prophet in order to establish credibility and then follow with derogatory lines and paragraphs. Also, there was Waqidi, as one of the narrators, a hard-boiled Magian and reputedly the biggest liar of the times. (Mazhabi Dastanain aur Unki Haqeeqat by Allama Habib Kandhalwi).
Now the video shows this clip:
AUTHORITATIVE ISLAMIC HISTORY [Quotes mine]
The Life of Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq d.773 CE [Siratur Rasool]
Edited by Abdul Malik Hisham d. 840 CE.
Now see the truly Authoritative Truth from the Quran.
33:26 Those People of the Scripture who allied with the clans (despite having a treaty with you), have been taken out from their forts and strongholds, and panic has struck their hearts. Some of them were killed in the battle and others were taken prisoners of war. [The Jewish Tribe, Bani Quraizah had violated the treaty, but another Jewish tribe, Bani Nadhir/Nuzair of Khyber had also been among the confederates]
47:4 There must be an act of kindness or ransom when the battle lays down its weapons. [8:37, 38:40. Free the captives as an act of kindness or ransom, such as in exchange for your men in their captivity. There is no third option. So, where is the beheading and where are the concubines?]
Surah 59. AL-Hashr The Gathering refers to the gathering of forces and peaceful exile in 5 Hijrah (627 CE) of the Jewish Tribe of Banu Nadhir/Nuzair near Madinah. They were banished from there after they had repeatedly violated the peace treaties they had signed with the exalted prophet. They kept joining hands with the Makkan idolaters, the hypocrites and some clans attempting to annihilate the believers. For their treachery, Banu Nadhir lost their citizenship and got exiled according to the treaty. They were allowed to take with them all movable property except weapons of war. With 600 camels laden with their belongings, the tribe was allowed to migrate peacefully to any place of their choosing and thereupon they relocated themselves in Syria.
59:2 He is the One Who evicted the disbelievers among the People of the Book from their homes at the first gathering (of the forces). You never thought that they would leave and they thought that their strongholds would defend them against God. But Gods requital came to them from directions they little expected, and caused fear in their hearts. So, they dismantled their dwellings with their own hands and at the hands of the believers. Learn a lesson, then, O You who are endowed with insight! [They dismantled their immovable property to prevent the believers from benefiting from it.]
59:3 And if God had not decreed banishment for them, He would have punished them harder in this world, yet for them is suffering of the fire in the life to come.
Did anyone challenge this Quranic truth in the life-time of the exalted prophet and his noble companions?
Again, where is the barbarism? Further, a gentleman like yourself should not have felt inspired by torture committed by anyone.
Question: Were little children growing pubic hair within a few weeks of the siege?
Dear Sir, you have not mentioned which Hadith reports the Rabiah Qanina atrocity. Absolutely none! You might have heard it in pastime. Please correct the name as Rabiah bin Kananah who was immediately sent to his family for promising non-violence.
See how a top western historian sums up the situation in one sentence:
H.N. Spalding - Civilization in the East and West:
Mohammad was the greatest Executive Officer for implementation of the Divine Will.
Mr. Nepali Padit , you posted only two clips but the film is more than one and half hour
long. It is most profesionally made Islam bashing film I've ever seen.
