I admire your attempts to paint Islam in a good light. But you're fighting a losing battle because the Islamic texts are stacked against you. For example, let's talk about 'The Battle of the Trench':
"He brought down some of the People of the Book [the Jews] out of their fortresses to aid the confederates and to strike terror into their hearts. Some you killed, and others you took captive. He made you heirs of their land, their homes, and their possessions, and even gave you another land
on which you had never before set foot. Allah has power over everything." [Koran 33:26]
Bukhari has this to say about it:
"When some of the remaining Jews of Medina agreed to obey a verdict from Saed, Mohammed sent for him. He approached the mosque riding a donkey and Mohammed said, “Stand up for your leader.” Mohammed then said, “Saed, give these people your verdict.” Saed replied, “Their soldiers should be beheaded, and their women and children should become slaves.”. Mohammed, pleased with the verdict, said, “You have made a ruling that Allah or a king would approve of.” [B5,58,148]
This story reveals that the Jewish men were ordered to dig their own graves. That night, all the men and young boys (who numbered around 800) were beheaded under the watchful eye of Mohammed and his child wife. Any boy who hadn't yet hit puberty was spared and forced to convert to Islam under the threat of death. The spoils were then divided up, with Mohammed taking his usual 20 percent. The rest was divvied up amongst his jihadists. The surviving women were sold as sex slaves. Not all the Jewish women were murdered - one of them, Rayhana Lady Amr, was apparently so beautiful that Mohammed 'took' her for himself (ie. he made her his slave and raped her).
Keyplus, you know the above story. You must do. Don't Mohammed's actions strike you as being utterly despicable? The wanton execution of people who have been defeated? The needless murder of hundreds of people? The enslavement of women? Rape?
What part of this story do you find uplifting? What part of this story do you think makes Mohammed look merciful and inspirational?
