Those things you explain all of them not true either..Medina and mekka were in Paganism when Mohammed founded Islam.Even In Mekka, in Kaaba, there were a Lot of wooden God figures when Mohammad became prophet and founded Islam.Mohammad never said Koran is the first book, He said It is Gods book and latest of the Gods books.He fought with The Pagans not with the Jews.Actually Jews and Arabs are almost same people who came from Abrahams sons Ishmae(Arabs)l and Isaac(Jews) They are cousins.Why are you making here a negative propaganda about Islam?..Here suupose to be apeaceful forum and bring peace and Knowldege to everyone in the world and You make here anti-islam propganda.I am sorry but, The people has to know this..

Julia,

I am simply repeating a history, of which you are apparently unaware of. Mecca may have been a pagan city (it was actually an outpost for traders) before Muhammed came to it, but Medina wasn't, it was a Jewish city. The Jews were all killed and driven out of it when Muhammed came there, it's a historical fact, and if you find that "anti-Islamic propaganda," then I suggest you do a better job checking your sources.

I never said that Muhammed said that he brought the first book, I said that he came with a new revelation to Medina and, when he did, the Jews rejected him. He drove them out and killed them because he believed they undermined his "message."

As for Muslims and Jews being cousins, fine in theory, not done in practice. Perhaps Google, "Children's Club" and "Madrasses," along with "the Protocols of Zion," all the work of anti-semitic propaganda, and all tactics currently being practiced by Islamic extremists.

You'll excuse me if I take offense to that
