Please do some reading before answering any questions.
Verse 9:29 was revealed during the expedition of Tabuk which happened AFTER THE KILLING OF THE MESSENGER AND AFTER THE BATTLE OF MU'TAH.
The killing of the messenger caused the battle of Mu'tah but had nothing to do with verse 9:29.
Verse 9:29 was revealed after Muhammed knew the Byzantines were not planning on attacking and was returning with his army.
During his way back, Muhammed encountered some Christians and Jews' towns and decided to get paid.
That's where 9:29 came in handy.
He decided to "fight the unbelievers" for no other reason than getting some Jizyah payments on his way home.
Stop being that naive. Do you really believe that Muhammed's army looked that much different than ISIS?
Do you really believe that the Byzantines looked that much different than the ones that crucified Jesus close to 700 years earlier?
Did you really expect honorability from these barbaric people?
Please, have a clue.
I don't care about Islam as a religion but I cannot keep Islam away from my mind when every time I watch the news the "Religion of Peace" is responsible in some way for crimes ranging from abductions, rapes, genital mutilations, beheadings, terrorist attacks, etc.
You make it sound like it is not Islam's fault?
Who's fault is it?
The west? The Internet apologists? Who?
