Myth vs Fact

Myth Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.
Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4320:

It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar that a woman was found killed in one of these battles; so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing of women and children.

Tafsir


Why did Moe forbid killing women & children? Hint: 33:26 ..."a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives"... Who were in the group made captives? The answer is in Ibn Kathir's Tafsir. Hint: the men & adolescent boys were slaughtered.

Moe fought in many battles and commissioned more, as a regular, continuing activity. It is war, not religion, and not of peace. So much so that captured women and children were considered property for Islam, a source of revenue, more valuable alive than dead.

Who will inform President Bush of this fact? Who will inform those seeking to be elected to replace him?
