More about Sword in Islam:  Sword in Islam and Crusades in Our World  Bonus Question ~ The Sword of Islam BONUS -- Did Mohammad call for Peace Or the Sword? Peace___ Sword ___  The word Sword - There are many words for this weapon in the Arabic language ~ saif; muhanad; housam; etc. just to name a few. THE WORD SWORD (in any form) IS NOT IN QURAN - NOT EVEN ONCE! The prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, never allowed for combat unless there was no other way out. And he forbid anyone to attack any innocent person, male, female, elders, children unless they were engaged in active combat against the believers. The biggest proof for this is the final conquest of Makkah, just prior to his death, peace be upon him. When entering the city of Makkah, instead of standing, cheering and shouting cries of victory ~ he rode on the back of his camel, head lowered and looking down. In this most humble position - HE FORGAVE the peopled of Makkah who had been attacking, slaughtering and murdering the Muslims for more than 20 years, and he granted them saftey whether they accepted Islam or not. Please do not say things about Islam and Muslims without first finding out what has been recorded and preserved for over 1,400 years! Read the truth first, then decide whether or not you want to accept it. Any good is from Allah the mistakes were from myself. May Allah guide all of us to His Truth, ameen.
