The following are the words from Plato:
Nozzi, are you so far gone that you cannot see that this verse is a merciless instruction from someone you call the most merciful. How can a merciful god tell his Apostle to massacre helpless prisoners or war? Why are you skirting around the real issue?
>>As it is meant for Prophet Muhammad, it certainly refers to the time when Prophet Muhammad was confronting with the continuous persecutions from Meccans.<<
What has time got to do with it? Allah is instructing the prophet that he should slaughter helpless prisoners of war.
Could you prove to me those that persecuted Muhammad were really helpless prisoners of war? Without strong proof to support that those that persecuted Muhammad was helpless prisoners of war, there should not be any conclusion to prove your sharing is correct.
