SMALL NUMBER OF MUSLIMS STILL COULD FIGHT BACK

I, moderate muslims, discourage fightings when non-muslims do not start their fightings with us. However, let's assume that fightings are permissible then:

Fightings are also permissible for the victory of war:

a) Small number of people could attack quietly at night while those people are not ready for war.

b) If you've ever watched the news from Indonesia, you would have discovered muslim extremists fight against non-muslims in smaller scale and yet you could identify in the news that they create riots; destroy houses, vandalism at the absence of Indonesia police. When police comes, they disappear from their sights.

c) Refer to the histroy of Prophet Muhammad and you would discover that when the meccans, the opponents, were relatively large in number as compared to Prophet Muhammad, Prophet Muhammad continued his fightings with them since their the meccans were the first that stirred up the battle.

d) Have you ever watched the history of Ipman in China? He could defeat a number of Japanese by himself alone.

Yet, Prophet Muhammad did not even fight at all during his first three years after receiving revelations from Allah and continously preaching the message of Allah to his wife, friend, servant, and his daughters.
