I want to make clear that only we Muslims and jews are at war, don't drag Christians into it.
Jewish scriptures have said the same things about us in their scriptures as well. And it is justified as we and Jews have been at war for deca-, centu-, IT'S BEEN OVER A MILLENIUM NOW.
And they are called Najis as they don't clean their private parts properly. Here in India and the middle east, we wash our private parts, but if you go to the west, they just wipe it with toilet rolls which is disgusting
"Kill the idolaters" refers to idolaters who worshipped Al-Lat and Al-Uzzah and waged war against Muslims to worship them as well. One of these was Umayyah and it got to a point where if he ever ordered his slaves to worship a snail, they would do it as he would torture them to the extreme.

"Battle gains" is what you get from the enemy after winning a war.
Let's say you won from your enemy, escorted their injured ones to their homes safely and took 50 camels, which is not looting btw, it is what you have right on, as you have defeated your enemy, now from those 50 camels, 10 go to the prophet, simple.

We just kiss the black stone; we don't think it is God or representation of God in any way.

Btw, here are some verses supporting monotheism and going against idol worship in your religious books:

This is my final message here, because I have better things to do in life unlike you, sorry if I missed some of your questions, you just have too much time on you and type too much, I'm turning off all notifications except on this one, because I want to see if I misinterpreted your Holy Books or not. And please, for God's sake, if you are answering these verses from your Holy Books, please answer to all of them, for I don't think there can be contradictions I the Books of God.
