Why don't you start a thread about the History of Jihad?Considering your source always appear to be Wikipedia where people can put in entries to suit their own purposes, I wouldn't be talking about sources if I were you, Georgie Boy? One thing, though, Georgie Boy, it is a shame that you didn't go to the Getty Museum to view the Icons of the Holyland lent by St. Catherine's Church in the Sinai when they were exhibited in your city. You would have seen how devout the early Christians were as depicted in the icons, and now they can't even practice their religion in peace. No doubt you have no problem with your Muslim friends not allowing Christians to practice their religious beliefs in peace in many of the Muslim countries. Georgie Boy, nobody has said that Israel is perfect, but a country does have a right to defend itself against those who want to destroy her. You seem to have no problem with the crimes the Muslims are committing against innocent people in Muslim countries and beyond.Consider your source:
"This discussion makes it clear that the Jews never ever aggressively attacked and killed any Muslim, which, Muslims claim, forced Muhammad to attack and evict them in defence. They even didnt break any treaty, which Muslims offer as the most common justification. Even treaty probably never existed. Hence, Muhammad had no justification to attack the Jews. Muhammads attacking and evicting, and even mass slaughtering and enslavement, of the Jews was an instance of unjustified barbarism to the extreme."
Who's "Rahul Raj?"
Does he/she have a Wiki?
Even if we accept his/her argument that the "mass slaughtering and enslavement of the Jews" was barbaric, that doesn't negate current war crimes by both sides in Palestine.
History of Jihad against the Egyptian Coptic Christians (640)
Whatever crimes Muslims committed throughout time don't justify 650,000 Jews inflicting a Jewish state upon a majority of Palestinians in 1948. Just as genocide committed against North American Indians in the 18th and 19th Centuries didn't validate Jim Crow.
