Re: Mecca
on my genocide? My my, why so much violence?
Back to your comments...well if the muslims didn't have an uber powerful army that could thwart pagan attacks, then why did they go into mecca knowing full well there could be an attack...
And muslims did fight many wars in those days, which were quite intense...
Its not about having a powerful Army - woh tho Allah was on their side, so they have all the power they need.
It was more about strategy if I'm understanding Maddie correct. If they took Mecca in their control, given it was the center of opposition, then it would be easier for the deen to spread.
