Refutation Of Islam Being Born A Religion Of Violence .

Mecca’s envy of Medina resulted in a series of battles between the two cities, which helped provoke the “Battle of the Trench,” in which the Meccan’s surrounded the city of Median. Mohamed helped built tunnels and trenches for soldiers to get a way. Many of the people surrendered to the new Monotheistic faith, which combined Hebrew, and Christian faiths.

In post-classical history, Islam was recognized for its loyalty to Allah and its precise rules of religion. Muhammad, founder of Islam, was born from a nomad-merchant class, giving a pulse to the traveling trait of Islam and its literal veins of expansion throughout the Eurasian borders. While keeping the classic code of Muhammad’s original law underway, Islam’s expansion during 600- 1200 C.E. introduced advanced authority and systems of economic control.

The Umayyads started out as one of the elite clans of Mecca who at first rejected Muhammad’s divine revelations (Kishlansky, Geary and O'Brien). However, Muhammad utilized his resources and quickly grew a strong following, organizing them into the Umma, an Islamic family “that transcended the old bonds of tribe and clan” (Kishlansky, Geary and O'Brien). As his support proliferated, his opposition dwindled and increasingly converted to Islam. In 629, with 10,000 warriors at his command, Muhammad marched onto Mecca and quickly conquered it with few casualties. The elite Meccan clans—the Umayya among them—were swiftly rehabilitated into the Umma, much to the chagrin of Muhammad’s earliest followers.

Islam, meaning peace in Arabic, is one of the most misunderstood religions in the world. Many people view it as a religion of hatred and crime, while others view it as peace. Islam is the world’s second largest religion and the youngest. There are approximately 1.57 billion Muslims in the world today. The origin of Islam, Prophet Muhammad, and beliefs of Islam affect how Islam is being taught and viewed today.

An individual known as Muhammad contemplated by himself in a cavern nearby Mecca and had acquired a godly insight. This insight established the beginning for a new creed. The ideology that emerged Muhammad’s vision turned out to be the foundation of one of the world’s most widely carry out creed, Islam. Muhammad was born in the city of Mecca, situated on the Arabian headland. Muhammad was raised by his uncle and grandfather due to his parents passing before he was six years old. His family were from a sept that was effective in Mecca politics.

Many Islamic beliefs determined the nature of average Muslim citizens in the early Muslim empires.  The religion of Islam began with one faith-driven individual named Muhammad, who laid the foundation in which a large and expanding empire would be built on. In the beginning, Muhammad had gained only a few loyal followers, but once he had gained control of the prominent city of Mecca, thousands of converts were led to the monotheistic religion of Islam. After Muhammad’s death, his revelations

One of the biggest issues in our world today is the issue and conflict that the West is having with Islam. For almost the past two decades, it seems that the West And Islam have been in constant conflicts with each other. This papers will discuss and compare the opinions of Bernard Lewis in The Roots of Muslim rage and Nicolaas van der Zee in The Roots of Muslim rage Revisited, and their respective opinions on this issues. Both authors in many ways fundamentally disagree with each other, when searching for a cause and solution to this problem. This essay will discuss the valid points made by both authors, and will attempt to show how both authors have valid and sensible arguments on the issue on hand.

Around 610 CE, the Prophet Muhammad’s journeyed to an isolated cave and received holy messages from the archangel Gabriel. These simple messages flourished over time into the Islamic faith and were compiled to create the Qur’an - the scripture of Islam. During a time of polytheistic supremacy, the teachings of Muhammad struggled to be established. “[T]he Qur’an emphasizes that while conversion to Islam should never be performed by force, its faith and moral strictures should be practiced in a society that abides by them and seeks to implement them in all human spheres of activity”, thus, followers of Muhammad employed manners of force to converted believers of other faith systems (Ellwood 587). This is an example of misinterpreting the holy scriptures. Although the use of force increased the boundaries of early Islam exponentially, the Qur’an’s insistence of pacifism was negated. To appease adopted converts sanctioned into Islam, some of their practices were accepted, for example, veiling women with a hijab, chador, or burqa are not innately Muslim, these practices were accepted from Persian people who were conquered by Muslims. Within their growing domain, Muslims accentuated the avoidance of idolatry and the Five Pillars which state to confess your faith, pray five times a day, give alms to the poor, fast during the month of Ramadan, and partake in the Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca. Jihad, or the struggle against the evils of the world and inner sin, is known as the sixth pillar of Islam and is also a commonly misinterpreted doctrine. Greater jihad or the internal struggle against the evils of oneself is the more important element of jihad, however, lesser jihad or the struggle to defeat external evils can be misinterpreted into justifying the killing of non-Muslims, violence against those who don’t acknowledge the Qur’an, and can even be used to legitimize a Holy War. Once again,

Muhammed was born in Mecca is Saudi Arabia in 570 AD. He was believed to be the prophet god hand sent to them as the final prophet. He was sent by god to teach mankind how to be good and he was born in Mecca a Holy City. Muhammed is told by an angel to go stop people from worshipping idols and he does just that. Then he and his supporters go with him to Medina. That counts two Holy Sites for the Islamic people Mecca for being the birth place of Muhammed and Medina for being the beginning of the Hirja. After that they made an Army and went back to conquer Mecca. He made an army and apparently always had one. The Islamic people have conquered many places for much less than it being Holy Land and have two Holy Sites fully under their control yet they fight for more! Yet, they fight long and hard take something from a people who has nothing and have been attacked for no reason and killed for believing differently. This leads to the final point, the

When looking at Early Islam and the relationship it had on Jews and Muslims we can see both the difficulties and achievements. Islam which is a monotheistic religion that urbanized in the Middle East during the 7th century means "surrender", and was founded on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as an expression of surrender to the will of Allah, who is know to be the creator of the world in their eyes. Islam refers to their sacred text, The Quran; which encloses the teachings of the Prophet that were exposed to him from Allah. Together, both the

In “Images of Jesus Christ in Islam,” Oddbjorn Leirvik warns the reader that one can easily read the Quran with a Christian bias, ignoring historical context (28). Examining the similarities and differences in the Christologies presented in the Bible and the Quran can easily garner such biases. Leirvik brings several issues forth that add perspective to examining the Muslim Jesus in comparison to the Christian Jesus. It is indisputable that each religious tradition is in support and full belief of its own message. Both Christianity and

Islam, it was created a very long time ago way before Christianity was even a religion. It was evil from the start there founder Muhammad was married to his wife who was only 6. She then proceeded to rape and beat her, which is what they encouraged, to the point where she would follow his every order. They also believed that ‘infidels or people who do not follow the way of Islam, such as Jews and Christians would have a harsh punishment. To back up my point I would like to cite this directly from the Qur’an 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.” as well as in the Qur’an 5:33 “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam.” So this goes to show that if you do not believe in Islam then you are to be killed and if you ever even dare to insult it then you will also be killed but in a more brutal fashion. News organizations like CNN and CNBC try to cover this up with “the good parts of Islam” when really there is none. There go to answer for an Islamic terror attack is not all Muslims. Which is correct, it is not all Muslims just 680,030,000 out of 900,000,000. This more than two-thirds of the Muslims in this world. This means that most Muslims believe in this total horrible thing. So now you know they're evil, but guess what, there are still many walking around the United States itself. Imagine this, you are shopping with your kids looking for clothes.

As long as humans have walked the Earth, we have sought out answers. Answers for questions like: "Why are we here? Where do we go when we die? Where did we come from? and What's that?" How different people answered these questions is important to study because it shows us the spiritual side of human nature. Especially now, a time of conflict between Islam and Western Civilization, it is important to look back and trace the evolution of religion. To see where we started and perhaps, gain some perspective into what is happening now and what may happen in the future.

The holy prophet (SAW) decided that there was no other option but to fight against Qureish .The Holy prophet left Madina with an army of ten thousand. The holy prophet divided his army in 4 groups and gave instructions that there should be no bloodshed and they will not attacked unless they were attacked and should defend themselves. After the battle was won by Muslims. Before entering Mecca Holy prophet (PBUH) announced a general pardon. A messanger of Prophet (PBUH) preceded and asking people to have no fear and no one will be killed and they all will be safe. When Mecca was conquered the holy prophet (PBUH) entered Ka’abah and ordered the removal of idols while idols were being removed Holy Prophet (PBUH) recited the following Quranic verses “And say : Truth has (now) arrived and falsehood has perished:for falsehood (by its nature) is bound to perish”

For about fifteen hundred years, Saudi Arabia’s history has centered on one major theme: Islam. Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was born around 570 A.D. in the city of Mecca. Early in the 7th century A.D., according to Islamic belief, Muhammad, while meditating in a cave on Mount Hira, was visited by the angel Gabriel. Gabriel
