Re: Assasinations
^ Yeah, I think I agree with your statement there. Gotta watch what you say. Islam is not about killing people who don't agree with you. Its not like "Oh, you want to oppose my leadership? Fine, you die." I think there were probably way more factors involved.
I have to be honest. This is the first time I'm hearing about any such "assasinations" as ordered by the Prophet. I thought he basically ordered death in situations of outright war or as death punishment as perscribed by revelation (i.e. execution of a proven murderer, etc).
