**Upto the age 53 **as mentioned in the post, Muhammad lived in Mecca.
GodAllahYHWH appointed Muhammad SAW KhatamunNabiyyeen, his ProphetMessenger.Muhammad lived upto the age of 53 years in Mecca .
I would request my friends here:

  1. Please mention name of just one person whom Muhammad converted to the fold of Islam by sword upto the age of 53 years. Please present evidence from Quran.
  2. Please mention name of one person whom Muhammad killed upto the age of 53 years for not accepting Islam. Please present evidence from Quran.
  3. Please mention name of one person who wanted to go back from Islam to his previous faith or another faith and Muhammad denied him his right and whom Muhammad killed for apostacy upto the age of 53 years. Please present evidence from Quran
    There is not a single case in all these categories.


Please telll me the significance of his not killing, or forcefully converting people before he was 53, and the justification for doing so after?


We have to look at everything Muhammad did, not just what he did until he was 53. After 53 he turned into a war lord to brought death and distruction to thousands of innocent people.


you are so funny ,you seek islamic information from nonislamic source ,what if someone told you that there is a book other than barnaba gospel saying christ is a prophet ?will you accept it?
catholic encyclopadia isnt authorized source and it full of lies about islam
and here is a proof
we are called muslims and our religion is islam and every man know simple thing about islam know that but let us see what encyclopadia say

Mohammed and Mohammedanism


Oh, dear, another rant from an incoherent Muslim! :yawn:


Now now, Catholics and Christians get plenty hot under the collar when outsiders have misunderstandings about their faith. If it helps, all of you seem pretty incoherent at times to me. :o

But I am always happy to see people actually talking and not just flinging words at each other, no matter where they are from or what language they speak. Pace and salaam!


Catholics AND Christians? Are you saying that Catholics are not Christians?



Hardly! I just meant Catholics on this forum in particular and Christians in general. I did attend a Catholic school, though I have never had a religion, and know its teachings well. I had no intention of separating them. I have a hard time separating faiths at all, really, though I have certainly heard how religions and flavors of religion separate themselves (and occasionally, try to forgo those differences of doctrine).


Why lies? Muhammad’s character was unstable and even your hadiths, which were written by his own followers, contain horrific accounts about him. I think the article in Newadvent is pretty lenient in the circumstances.


Are you more sympathetic to Islam then?



I don’t sympathize with either Christianity or Islam particularly. But I know it’s tough being a curious outsider. And I’m trying to encourage dialogue and friendship among everyone here. Why? Eh, it’s a compulsion with me, I suppose. Overactive empathy gland or something. :stuck_out_tongue:


So the raids, battles, murders…didn’t happen?


battles happened but its justified can you prove its not in a new thread :slight_smile:


Why is a new thread needed? Can you answer:


bec its not the topic of this thread:)


Sure it is. I know the person who started this thread. :wink: He won’t mind.

Do you object to the events in the timeline…I should have made it a public poll. ?

Regardless, The battles are only one part of his history.

Was everything he did justified? Do you think he is a noble person?


if you can proof that this battles wasnt justified and he is not a noble person bring it to me :wink:


Well, how about this one? Justified? Noble?
AD 625, (AH 3), age 55

I don’t think so. Why do you?
