I would like to know why the prophet Muhammad, with Allah guiding him, had to resort to violence and wage war against his neighbours? Surely someone who has an all powerful being telling you what to do wouldn't need to kill to settle your differences. In my opinion, this means, that either Allah was not guiding him or Allah loves wars -after all, war is the result of our inability to understand and communicate with each other.
Is killing an animal a ruthless act? Or is that just your opinion? If it is, then keep it out because those of us who eat meat/fish, wear leather, fur, silk or down don't feel that way.
What exactly is the goal of the Deccan Mujahideen in killing all of those people in India? Do they really think that this sort of action will compel people to change to the muslim faith??

no it's not - at least not in Q4. My question is why would Muhammed need to wage war when he has Allah guiding him - Allah, if he were so powerful, would have infinite knowledge and not need to go to war. He would know how to avoid war and would tell Muhammed what to do to avoid war. Either Allah did not really guide Muhammed, Allah is not smart enough to avoid war or Allah wants us to kill each other.

mohammed pbuh didn't wage wars , the enemies are the ones whom waged the wars against muslims in the first place
muslims be commanded by God to fight for the sake of thier relegion for testing thier hearts
muslims were very weak in strength and numbers , most of them were slaves not used to fight
read these verses
3-140 If a wound has afflicted you (at Ohud), a wound like it has also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and We bring these days to men by turns, and that Allah may test those who believe and take witnesses from among you ; and Allah does not love the unjust.
3-141 And that Allah may prove those who believe, and may blight the disbelievers.
3-142 Do you think that you will enter the garden while Allah has not yet test those who strive hard from among you, and (He has not) test the patient ?!

oh , yeah , this comparison take me to the similar comparison as
why destruction and evil and wars existing in the world ?
either God ( glory be to him ) powerless to prevent it , or God wants us to kill each other
you can consider God of any relegion with this kind of conclusions
this view have nothing to do with islam specifically , so it's out of the purpose of this thread

and yet Allah was not wise enough to tell Muhammed how to avoid the war? It takes two to fight, regardless of who starts it.

So God wants muslims to fight to prove something? That doesn't sound very peaceful at all.

no it's not. Who has Allah talking to them directly and not through interpretations of a religious text?

yes it does. I will say this one last time. Muhammed had Allah talking to him and guiding him directly. Despite Allah who is supposed to have infinite knowledge, wisdom and power, he still could not stop Muhammed having to wage war.

okey , tell me your relegion if you are not athiest
okey , tell me your relegion if you are not athiest
and how your God deal with such a matter
thank you
I'm agnostic, but let's take for example, the story of Moses who supposedly parted the red sea, crossed it with his people, then closed it so the pursuing egyptians couldn't cross. Wouldn't that be an example of how a powerful God avoided bloodshed?
