Poor Hats Off! Since his malevolence has been exposed, he has no option left other than an empty-headed ad hominem attack! 

what you believe is neither here nor there.

what the Qu''an, the hadees and the sunnah say is the matter. you are just one of many flies in the ointment.

go home!

Hats Off, being a sworn enemy of Islam, would like us to continue believing in  jahiliyya, kuffar, jizya and jihad! Is anyone surprised?

all that is islamophobia.

tell it to the birds - a excellent novel by james hadley chase.

The Quran uses the term "Ummi" meaning people without scriptures  both for the Prophet and the polytheist Arabs. The word Jahiliya is used only in specific contexts referring to some of their obnoxious practices. 

People like Hzarat Khadija, the Prophet (pbuh), Abu Bakr, Usman, Ali and many others who did not practice what was obnoxious to Islam even during their pre-Islamic days do not come under the description "Jahil". Hazrat Umar may come under that description for some of his deeds such as burying his new-born daughter alive and for having been violent and cruel during his pre-Islamic days.

The Quran does not refer to all the polytheists as Jahil but only as Ummi,  and the same term is used for  the Prophet also. 

The Meccan polytheists were treated very well both by the Muslims and by Allah. The prisoners of war were never enslaved and always freed with or without ransom. After the Prophet migrated to Medina to escape assassination, no calamity was sent by Allah on the Meccans. The Prophet captured Mecca without blood shed. There was no bloodshed even later nor as a consequence of the so called "sword" verse 9:5 since those covered by it were given 4 months amnesty to accept Islam or migrate. Very few and only the most violent opponents of Islam died in the battles. The rest became staunch Muslims even though those who had not fought could have retained their religion by becoming jiziya paying citizens. After, accepting Islam, they showed great zeal for the new religion  and carried the religion forward with great vigour.

To therefore paint a  picture of Islam  wiping out polytheism in Arabia by the sword is therefore false. 

Al-Kafirun, an early Meccan Surah, addressed not to all the polytheists but only to the Kafirun or the violent enemies of Islam among them, ends with 109:6 "To you be your religion and to me mine". They wouldn't however, leave Islam, the Prophet and the Muslims alone and continued to persecute them. It is they who tried to wipe out Islam and the Muslims but in turn got wiped out. The violent leaders having been eliminated, the rest accepted Islam willingly although those who had not fought the Muslims in violation of their treaty had the option to retain their religion and become jiziya paying citizens.

When all accepted Islam, each tribe  removed their own idols or some carried them away. There were some who did not want to destroy their idols themselves but permitted the Muslims to do so. The polytheists had the option to carry away the idols with them during the 4 month period of amnesty. 

Religious tolerance is explicit in 2:256 "Let there be no compulsion in religion"

The problem is that the bigoted Muslims themselves paint a false picture of early Islamic history to support their own bigotry.  The story that comes through in the Quran is covered in my articles: 

1.       The Story of the Prophetic mission of Muhammad (pbuh) from the Qu’ran (part 1): The early opposition

2.       The Story of the Prophetic Mission of Muhammad (pbuh) From the Qu’ran (Part 2): The Clear Warning to the Meccan Pagans

3.       The Story of the Prophetic Mission of Muhammad (Pbuh) In the Qu’ran (Part 3): Important Pointers from the Stories of the Prophets

4.       The Story of the Prophetic Mission of Muhammad (Pbuh) In the Qu’ran (Part 4): The Medinian Period

5.       The Story of the Prophetic Mission of Muhammad (pbuh) in the Qu’ran (Concluding Part) Summary

6.       The Story of the Prophetic Mission of Muhammad (pbuh) From the Qu’ran (Part 6): The People of the Book and Jiziya

The Religion of Allah before and After the Quran

The Importance of Understanding Correctly, the Attributes of Allah – Pre-destination and the question, ‘Was Muhammad (pbuh) Pre-Destined To Be The Seal Of The Prophets?’ – Part Three

If Mr Alam is interested in answers and correcting his understanding, he will be able to do so by reading the articles. If all that he is interested in is to keep the pot boiling, he will continue to turn a blind eye to the answers.

For Hats Off Islam is a fixed never-changing entity frozen in time! Such a view helps him carry on his despicable hate war.

All schools of islam, except Hanafi,  call for death to Polytheists ( Hindus ) and even Hanafi calls for Hindus to be treated as Dhimmis ; No sufi accepts equal treatment of Polytheists

It is best for Hindus ( Polytheists ) to read islamic texts like Sharia, Hadith, Koran, Sira to understand what islam says about Polytheists and start to prepare themselves

Recent victory of BJP with about 50% share of Hindu vote, is because Hindus are now more aware about islamic teachings 

"Attempts to homogenise have come from both sides: from the side of secularists who have historically tried to promote a single ‘rational and scientific’ standard by belittling the diverse religious traditions of the country; " . . . . This is false. Secularists do not have any standard to impose. They just want a wall between state and government. They do not belittle any religion.
