Neither am I.
Here's the thing, I'm not sure Moses actually existed. Obviously the Exodus story is full of supernatural horseshit. Muhammad is different, he is a historical figure and his acts are known. Arguing about what Moses did is like arguing about Superman, he did what those collecting myths for David assigned to him.
Moses is a central figure within three major world religions. So if you want to discuss military traditions within religious tradition one must reference Moses and his successors if we are to be honest about it.
That aside, is there something specifically about Muhammad's campaigns that you disliked, or something specific about Quranic verse that you dislike? I can name crimes against humanity that I disapproved of, such as the arbitration of the dispute with the Banu Qurayza and their subsequent execution of the males. But even that, which is probably the more gruesome act that the Muslims oversaw (depending on your historical readings) didn't even top 1000 deaths. So this imagery of Muhammad riding around and killing people by the thousands or anywhere close to the level of the mongols simply didn't happen / exist, and is not how political expansion under Muhammad occurred.
your point? the mongols used the principles set forth by MUHUMMAD as the paragon of "virtue" Muhummad did not have the means to murder millions----
he did the best he could and set the STANDARDS----the ethos that led to the genocides of hundreds of millions
Osimir is off in his history, Rosie. Muhammad had 900 Jews beheaded in a single day for refusing to receive him as a true prophet. Many more were killed, raped, looted, enslaved during his lifetime in the name of Islam.
