IT IS OBVIOUS IN THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF ISLAM THAT MECCANS STARTED TO FIGHT FIRST

You, Plato, wrote,

First demonstrate that non-Muslims started the fight. I have shown you from history written by Muslims that it was the Muslims to who started violence after they settled down in Medina and gathered a fighting force. Why don't you demonstrate to me I am wrong. Your repeating the same charge against kaffirs time and again without evidence is getting tiresome

Refer tothe Cambridge History of Islam and/or biography of Muhammad, all these are the good evidence to prove that Meccans were the first that started their persecution since year 610. You insist your explanation is correct. However, you have failed to read out all these articles about Meccans. For instance, if Meccans would respect our religions and did not start their battle against Muhammad and his followers when they preached the message of Allah to them, they would not fight back.

Your arguments seem to turn round and round on the word, fighting, in Quran 9:28-30, 9:111, 8:67 and etc. even thought my explanations have been submitted through this web-site. There is no new constructive comment.
