Western media brainwashed you

The western books you read brainwashed you. they are unreliable sources biased to the Jews. you cannot possibley find a good book that give justice to Islam save few.

I suggest you read Islamic sources (even western Islamic sources)

1. Muhammad did not promoted hatred to anyone, the Jews do not follow God's words and God's wrath was on them till the end of times - it is written in the bible - Muhammad and the Quran to us to be good to every one to be friends to everyone who is good.
2. He started his career as cattle breader and then as trader to a rich lady who she married later
3. after Islam became powerful and established a state government, God ordered him that those who want to keep their religion (christian and Jews) as protection to them and their properties they have to pay Jizya (a very symbolic small amount - less than the Muslims are to pay Zakat)
4. He married a 9 year old by the order of God, because she was young and smart and she lived after him 42 years and was a great reference to all Islamic issues after his death. also Her father consented the marriage also the people who were against him did not even mock him for his marriage becausr it was customary at that time - check the USA laws for legal age of Girl getting married during the 1930s and check why Caesar of Rome limited the legal age to 10 year for the Girl to be married (because their fathers used to make them marry much less age) - Muhammad is NOT child molester if he was, then all his wives would be all small girls. Aysha was the only virgin and young girl whom he married and by the order from God. He never thought of this marriage except for his nanny suggested to him to marry Aysha, if it was not the norm, she would not have suggested such.
5. Beating is ast resort if all other ways fail to straighten the woman and as long as it does not show any marks on her body and we are not allowed to hit the face.
6. Absolutely NOT, God gave him ordered not to wage war unless he and his people are attacked
7. Wrong, Quran says , those women who do obscene acts such as Adultery are to be forced confined to their homes till they die (of old age) or God ordains for them some other way. (Imagine Four witnesses have to testify that she made adultery.) imagine four people to testify !!!!, see how many times four can testify to an adultery. they are to be lashed 100 lashes (the man and woman)
8. Muhammad gave orders during war to treat prisoners of war justly and kindly.
9. wrong, God told us that we have our religion and you have your religion and lets have a good word between us (Muslims and others) and treat each other justly
10. Wrong, He was not told to wage war to force all the humans on earth to become muslims, but he told him to tell the people about Islam peacefully and in good manner.
11. Jihad does not only mean war, the word Jihad in arabic means struggle, Muhammad told his followers that we have come from lesser Jihad to greater Jihad, when his followers asked him what is the greater jihad , he said self jihad (Self struggle ) from evil and wickedness. He ordered his followers to fight those who fight us, but we should not aggress and we should protect and treat prisoners of war well, and during wars we should not kill women, children, old men, should not cut any tree, should not kill animals, should not attack priests worshipping in their synagogues .. basically we should not attack anyone who are not fighting us. anbd if they stop fighting us we should stop fighting them. unless they have taken our land
12. Yes true

See you are brainwashed, and what you said is absolutely false and not true
