Did Muhammad kill?

I had a chat with a Moslem man yesterday-a nice, charming man-which turned onto his religion, of which he is, as usual, proud. I voiced my objections (without losing my head) that his religion was violent and that his prophet killed people. He denied this! It seemed he had never heard this accusation before!

I will do more research on the matter.

He responded that Islam was a religion of peace but I replied that this concerned only one line in the entire corpus, and evidence did not support this.

But at least we discussed it! The nonsense of Islamaphobia has effectively stopped discussion. It needs to be looked at, and the evidence laid out.

We also discussed men, especially married men, talking to women, especially married women. He saw it as wrong as it could lead to intimacy. I told him that was rubbish, his view indicated ownership of women, and also a low opinion of women. Many Moslems adhere to this! This is dirty mindedness!


He asserted, as all Moslem's appear to, that the words of the qu'ran cannot be found anywhere else. I told him this was not true, as much of the qu'ran can be found in Leviticus-which he would not have read or knew much about. I said that he'd learned this in his Mosque, from an Imam. He'd simply believed it. Imam's seem to be uneducated types, without knowledge of anything but the Moslem corpus.
