Ask any Muslim what happens to him when he converts to Christianity. There's your sword.
The implications of the claim that Mohammed was the last and greatest prophet is that Mohammed was the fulfillment of both the second coming of Christ and the fulfillment of Jewish messianic expectations, something Christians and Jews will never accept.
As such many feel morally justified and even obligated to kill all who do not accept Mohammed based on luke 19:27. where they believe that Jesus himself predicted that he would order the murder of unbelievers when he returned which is exactly what Mohammed did, ordered the murder of unbelievers, even though the verse was never intended to be taken literally and is a subtle teaching about the hidden subject of ritual slaughter that has literally nothing to do with killing anybody..
"But as for those enemies of mine who would not have me for their king, bring them here and slaughter them in my presence."
Luke 19:27 is part of a parable,
The Parable of the Ten Gold Coins
That was not Jesus saying that.
Of course it was a part of a parable.
Still, misunderstanding the parable has contributed to 2000 years of antisemitism and has inspired mohammed and every wannabe hitler ever since it was written to convince their followers that it is a religious duty to persecute and kill Jews.
You were infighting for years, get a grip. The zealots hated he Sanhedrin , and the Sanhedrin were mainly rich elite Sadducees, who the Pharisees did not get alone with. The zealots hated both, Rome saved you from total self destruction.
The Saducees were NEVER in the Sanhedrin.
Show me a Link that ISN'T from a Christian Rapture site.
It wouldn't even make sense for a Saducee to be in the Sanhedrin since they took Scripture LITERALLY and mixed it with Greek and Roman law.

The Pharisees
The most important of the three were the Pharisees because they are the spiritual fathers of modern
Judaism. Their main distinguishing characteristic was a belief in an
Oral Law that God gave to
Moses at Sinai along with the
Torah. The
Torah, or
Written Law, was akin to the U.S. Constitution in the sense that it set down a series of laws that were open to interpretation. The Pharisees believed that God also gave
Moses the knowledge of what these laws meant and how they should be applied. This oral tradition was codified and written down roughly three centuries later in what is known as the
Talmud.
The Pharisees also maintained that an after-life existed and that God punished the wicked and rewarded the righteous in the world to come. They also believed in a
messiah who would herald an era of world peace.
Pharisees were in a sense blue-collar Jews who adhered to the tenets developed after the destruction of the
Temple; that is, such things as individual prayer and assembly in
synagogues.
The Sadducees
The Sadducees were elitists who wanted to maintain the priestly caste, but they were also liberal in their willingness to incorporate
Hellenism into their lives, something the Pharisees opposed. The Sadducees rejected the idea of the
Oral Law and insisted on a literal interpretation of the
Written Law; consequently, they did not believe in an after life, since it is not mentioned in the
Torah. The main focus ofSadducee life was rituals associated with the
Temple.
The Sadducees disappeared around 70 A.D., after thed estruction of the
Second Temple. None of the writings of the Sadducees has survived, so the little we know about them comes from their Pharisaic opponents.
These two "parties" served in the Great Sanhedrin, a kind of Jewish Supreme Court made up of 71 members whose responsibility was to interpret civil and religious laws.
