Violence in the Koran Written by Greg Deane Monday, 26 July 2010 17:18 - Last Updated Monday, 26 July 2010 22:16 Mohammed himself took part, if leading from the rear, in thirty-three recorded battles, plus an unknown number of raids on caravans between 622 and 632, an inauspicious beginning to any religion claiming to be characterised by Peace. He also ordered the Expedition to Qatan, or a Sirya in which he did not take part. When addressing Christendom in 1097 with a view towards raising the First Crusade to regain the Holy Land from Islam, and assist Byzantium against the depredations of the Seljuk Muslims, Pope Urban II summarised the early onslaughts of Mohammed’s Arab and Turkish raiders fighting their religiously inspired jihads under the prophet’s crescent banner. Urban goaded European Christians saying: For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised to them. For, as most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania (the Greek empire) as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for a while with impunity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. 1/5 Violence in the Koran Written by Greg Deane Monday, 26 July 2010 17:18 - Last Updated Monday, 26 July 2010 22:16 There Christian to barred subject they wear were were from to turbans communities severe not few government permitted enclaves of punishments a distinctive lived. to employment free resist Where of ifcolour, the attempts they they Islamic or were to other were pay to deemed yoke convert discriminatory sinecures, allowed in North to them be to denied practise apostates Africa, to poll Islam. taxes rights ifthe their any, to to of Islam. faith, where Muslim free they At association, autonomous the authorities, were same obliged and Pope already infidels, years Urban of under was Mohammed’s was not its only fully oppressive condoned, aware onslaught. of heel. the but Thus Islamic imperial encouraged in the impositions, purposes Surah,Koran by the of including Suras Islam, 2:216 of with violence the all Koran bellicose of European against from prophet the so-called Spain earliest taught: Warfare thing knoweth, which is you ordained is knew good not. for for you you, and though itso may itas is happen hateful that unto you you; love but aconveniently itcan thing may which happen is that bad you for you. hate Allah atime, This Quraysh Medina, outlaw. sacrilege preached. exhortation He in tribe he an had would of event destroyed formed Mecca, never now aMohammed’s celebrated condone justification the idols in of others the for own the the Quraysh, hejira, tribe, who massacre contravened in but and 623 itvictims seems of so AD unarmed was at the Nakhla. he guilty was religion merchants of more Mohammed the of apostasy like peace from a fleeing that had the and he fled to His warfare incendiaries justifying bloody does their punishment, secretly not own entail actions, amongst battle or outrageous and against unwitting claim an atrocities and armed martyrdom. unarmed enemy. at Nakhla The demonstrate terrorists cite who Nakhla that carry the as Islamic their a precedent idea of The sacred designed merchants able for to for trade use his were this in benefit.
