Re: Was the Middle East in Muhammad's time really so barbari
Pre-Islamic Arabs lived a precarious existence eating lizards and what not and dying by starvation if they had nothing to eat.But after Islam,they got the opportunity to colonise their conquered lands and thus could eat delicacies.Personally I am against invading Muslim lands to convert them out of Islam and I am also against evicting muslims from non-Muslim lands.But I only hope so that they integrate atleast to some extent and do not cause anymore trouble.WELL, pre-Islamic Arabia was relatively peaceful and tolerant. It had different communities living there next door to one another, a sort of early "multiculturalism"...
Then the Muslims came along bringing bloodshed and hatred all round. Entire civilisations wiped out. Unprecedented carnage, not remotely equalled by the worst tyrants who ever lived.

palli or halli in Dravidian languages means a village just like gaav in Aryan languages means a village.palli or halli in Aryan Mauryan Imperial era around 200 B.C designates a tribal hamlet.So many of those in South India are indeed descendants of tribals and are still keeping up that heritage.

Well, personally prefer to eat lizards that I have caught over stolen things... And you forgot to mention that people in Arabia kept herds of animals, and they traded.So this caveman idyll does not fit reality.

That piece of info on pre-Islamic pagan Arabs is what I got at historyofjihad.Even in this day and age,children starve in India due to over-population even though the country is not a desert.Now the same situation would have prevailed in the Arabian peninsular deserts as and when people over-bred.manfred wrote:Well, personally prefer to eat lizards that I have caught over stolen things...

The general situation of people in Arabia could not have been worse than other people in the middle ages, as the are had influx of immigrants, such as the various Jewish groups there. If life was that horrendous, they would not have stayed.

True...
what is filthy is that one group feels they have a right to tell others how to live, and use violence to subdue them.
I also always found it funny how the Qur'an makes a list of who MEN may NOT marry, but say nothing at all about women:
If a girl reads that, she may be tempted to see her mom and say "But mum, when I grown up I want to marry a MAN!"Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone, no prohibition if ye have not gone in; (those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Surah 4:23
Suppose you had an "affair" with a woman and never married her. She then gave birth to a child, YOUR daughter. Some scholars argue that you may marry such a child because there is no lineage through marriage.
For example Al-Qurtubi writes:
...then the resulting child is not considered a part of a person’s true lineage. That is why a daughter born from adultery is not mentioned in Allah’s saying, ‘Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: your mothers and daughters’ (Surah 4:23) because she is not considered a daughter according to the most authentic teaching of our (Islamic) scholars and the most authentic teaching of our religion. If there is no legal lineage then there is no legal relationship; for adultery does not prohibit (from marriage) the daughter of the mother (you committed adultery with) nor the mother of a woman (you committed adultery with)

In addition, Islam allows first cousin marriages, and this incestual practice can result in disease.

Marrying the cousin is allowed in all religions, nations, race, cultures, include in islam. however some people feel uncomfort marry their cousins, beside disease risks.

Hello uncung
To continue from my last post. If a muslim noted all the barbaric acts that Muhammad committed and therefore started to wonder if Muhammad really was a prophet, would that be a sin?
