For ramsesy and Islamophobia really?

My dear ramses99, but if you read Ibn Hisham's redaction of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat rasul Allah or al-Waqidi's Maghazi you will learn that Abul Qasim (Muhammad or Ahmad or Qutham and why did he have so many names?) was a caravan raider, an Arabian warlord who killed a poet that was suckling her infant. He broke treaties, inflicted death on his enemies real or imagined and all of this was done in the name of the God of the universe. But wait: Abul Qasim and his Allah were to collect 1/5 of the loot! Could this be the reason?

But the real crime against humanity was the destruction of the great civilizations of the late antique period by the invading Arabs. And did you ask yourself why would the God of the universe spread his word through violence and in the process brutalize your own ancestors?

Did you ever ask yourself: why would the God of the universe resort to war by mere human beings and inflict death and suffering when he can change the mind and heart of us all without resorting to war, unless your God is not omnipotent! So is your Allah not omnipotent? But if so he is no God.

And did you ever ask yourself why is islam anti-semitic, anti-Christian, anti-Hindu, anti-Buddhist and anti-women? Why does your Allah teach you to hate others? And why do you live among catholics?

And remember that only an irrational God would have such doctrine as: al-qada' wa al-qadr.

So much for the religion of peace aka Islam.
