The ' Sword of Muhammed' is the single most repellent aspect of this mythology. Removal of the 'sword' from Muhammed and one has an empty, hollow,myth. The underpinnings of the myth of Muhammed is violence. Violence to establish,maintain,enforce,and expand the myth. Without the implied, implicit and explicit use of violence, ' Islam' would have dissipated long ago.
While the elites continue to insist on the "Religion of peace" nonsense, non Muslims are systematically being "Ethnically cleansed" from the Muslim countries. This is fact. Nowhere in the Muslim is other beliefs tolerated, nowhere. Yet, we are told that 'don't worry, Islam is a peaceful religion, tolerate the insults , barbarity, and dispicable behavior of Muslims, as they defile Christian and Jewish holy sites, lie,decieve and prepare to exercise yet again the 'sword' of Muhammed. Until the Muslims reject the 'sword' of Muhammed, there can be no peace, in fact there must be no peace. The 'sword' must be met with the full power of the secular state to nullify the terrorism of the Sword of Muhammed. In other words, this mythology is too violent to survive.
