Like many Christians who have not studied the Bible, most Muslims
have never really studied the Quran and hadith, especially not in
context. They understand it based on what is taught to them by other
Muslims they consider authorities, without using reason and individual
research. (But those authorities have not really read the source texts
either!) This is all about Theology from the Echo Chamber. Let’s go to
the sources: The Quran (http://quran.com) and hadith (http://hadithcollection.com).
The hadith consist of various sayings and teachings of Muhammad,
compiled about 2-300 years after his death. These are considered very
important supplements to the Quran, especially by Sunni Muslims.
For example, Muslims have been taught that Muhammad’s many battles were all defensive in nature, and that he even showed mercy to his enemies. But is that correct? Well, NO—it is not correct. Muslims are often horrified when they discover that reliable Muslim sources clearly document that Muhammad’s actions were offensive and not defensive. Let’s take a look.
Did you know that Muhammad said that he would fight people until they became Muslim or until he killed them and took their property? Muhammad said: “I have been ordered by Allah to fight against people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity. . . then they will save their lives and property from me.” (Bukhari 1.2.24). Here is the reference which you can read for yourself:
