Why? war is an accepted concept among most religions and almost all cultures past and present. Wars are bloody and not nice. Where did you get the idea that I consider the old ways evil, I consider them innapropriate for the present day (just as future generations will think some of our current practices and ethics are innapropriate).
Can you tell us the precise date when murdering , rape , enslaving people, looting became evil? I guess they were not evil according to you back then so you must be able to tell me a date since when these practices started being called as evil.These practices were evil , are evil and will be evil till the end of the world.
War in self defense is Ok but war to sujugate people into believing into islam is bloody nonsense.
Btw finally you say that those old ways are inappropriate today so why are you still a muslim then? YOu must accept that Muhhamad wasnt any USWA HASANA or a perfect example for entire mankind to emulate and quran contains outdated teachings which are not applicable today. Are you ready to reject quranic teachings in that case?
POST EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING
If the above mentioned things like raping,murdering,stealing werent evil then why does quran order punishment for rapist, murderers , thiefs etc etc ? It shouldnt if they werent evil back then. right? The point is they were evil back then and yet muhhamad resorted to these things thereby contradicting himself and his fake Allah.
And Mohammed did not participate in the conquests, he consolidated and united the warring tribes of Arabia and died shortly thereafter. Im sorry if this consolidation necessitated military operations, its actually quite difficult to get tribal societies to start working together (see FATA). It was his companions who undertook the conquests after his death.
Muhhamad started all this shitty thing about islam .The first muslim terrorist was muhhamad and he fought more than 60 wars as per Tabari.With the exception of a few all wars of muhhamad were offensive as most of them were fought on enemies territory. This lone fact should give you a clue that it was muhhamad who was the aggressor and not the enemy and so military operations were carried not to unite people but to conquer and subjugate them . ITs true that his successors undertook conquest but they were only following orders of quran i.e muhhamads teachings to do that.
Do you seriously consider all conquests "evil acts"? This is how the world as we know was formed, this is why you have an "england" or a "united states of america", you do realize this right? We conquered Canada, without this conquest, I wouldnt be here. If I though this was an evil act, I would move somewhere where no conquest ever took place...like nowhere.
What Mohammad brought was a set of rules regarding warfare and rules of engagement. These were sometimes followed and sometimes not during war.
Killing people who dont accept your religion is an evil act. If you try to do that today you will be put in jail. IT seems you have totally different sense of morality.
Fight the infidels until they acknowledge the religion of islam is what quran orders its believers. Self defense is the only accepted form of war. If conquests are ok then you should have no problem kafirs bombing saudi arabia and all islamic countries and converting them forcibly.
