Sunna or Later - We Must Confront Islam You can’t talk about the Israeli vs Arab (aka “Palestinian”) conflict without a least a basic working knowledge of the Arab mind – a mind for which the teachings of Islam often plays a significant role. Remember that in charismatic faith traditions like Christianity or Islam, the founder is the First Example – the role model that all followers are taught to admire and strive to emulate. We know that historical Jesus lived a simple life and taught a belief in universal love, forgiveness, faith, and humility. Think about that as you consider the life of Muhammad (the Sunna) For Muslims, this is The Guy You Strive to Be Like. A murderer, rapist, gangster, and charlatan… Sunna - Example 1: Biological warfare, kidnapping for profit, nihilism, and cowardice… “Muhammad, upon discovering the presence of the remaining Meccans through their water carriers, ordered his troops to cover all the wells with sand and stones, on the advice of Hubab ibn al-Mundhir, reserving one for themselves. And thus forcing the Meccans to fight for water. The battle commenced with individual duels between warriors from both sides, which then escalated into a chaotic melee. Although not participating in the combat, Muhammad inspired his followers with the promise of paradise if they died fighting. Many of the Quraysh were reluctant to kill their own kin, and just prior to midday, they succumbed to panic and ran away. Muhammad ordered the search for Abu Jahl. A Muslim found him, beheaded him, and threw the head to Muhammad's feet who jubilantly exclaimed: "The head of the enemy of God. Praise God, for there is no other but He!" The Muslims obtained considerable war spoils and a number of prisoners. Umar desired that all of them be slain, yet Muhammad resolved that ransom must be requested first, and afterwards, they could execute any for whom no one was willing to pay.”
