William,

You write "And I hope/suppose you'll also accept that the wars Mohammed led in the past where led by the same Satanic hunger called greed. Not by the word of Allah."

Prophet Mohammad wars were self defense against agressors - do you know that the romans wanted to launch a war against the Muslims in Mecca and they marched to a place now north of Saudia called (Tabuk) , when they heard the Muslim marching to meet them in Tabuk they fled. Mohammad said at the I was victoriuos by their horrifying terror. Not a single blood was she and Mohammad conquered vast land.

All wars during Mohammad time and Khalifes where of self defense, the wars after are something else

some are launched for self defense like the wars against the Crusaders (Saladdin) and some wars were launched foe the ruler satisfactions who became far from the teachings of Islam.
