Let me be courteous and answer the questions pose, firstly you trying to convince me with a book that is clearly not from the account handed down by the Prophets but the version of doctrines of writers and scribes and translators. It is not verified and because they all agree more or less means that the Text have been clearly edited to conform with the source. very few could write and those who wanted to learn would copy text from older text hence the vast amount of parchments (not books) all not conforming were burnt on several occasions, which translates to only those that agree have been preserved.
They "clearly conform" because they all share the same inspiration. Archaelogical evidence abounds in Jerusalem for the events depicted in the Bible as well as the surrounding areas for some of the other events. But I am not here to debate each and every story from the bible. We are talking specifically of Mecca. If no evidence exists of its' existence before 4 AD then logic dictates that it could not have been central to man's worship of God since the beginning of time.
Empathy I reserve for believers not slanderers and those who openly call conjecture the truth.
That is not true empathy. If you cannot empathize with people that you don't agree with then you are only choosing to see things from the perspective of people who think like you. That isn't empathy. And I have already pointed out to you that conjecture is believing the word of a liar who called himself a prophet, who also couldn't distinguish between satan's voice and God's. That he admitted himself.
The Quranic verses are quoted out of context and without the hadith that accompanies them, you cannot quote verses in Isolation, It is like calling Jesus a coward and a pacifist for turning the other cheek. Believers fight for the truth and are killed and killed and this is in no way unique to muslims, in fact when comes to killing and being killed I believe that USA is the current leader in warfare.
Muhammad was the instigator in every single one of his conflicts with the Quraysh. He violated accepted social mores at every turn and spread Islam through bloodshed.
The Muslims must fight disbelievers, as they are the ones that wreak havoc on earth, they and the Christians brought untold suffering on more than half the population on earth, we forget African slavery,
The muslims fight anyone who doesn't believe as they do. Just like Muhammad. Christians, if they truly be Christian, must treat everyone how they wish to be treated. Period. Just because someone calls themself Christian does not make it so. And as for slavery it was John Brown who citing the "golden rule" in his defence for the Harper's Ferry massacre that brought the issue to the forefront. It was Christianity that helped lead the way in its' abolition in the west. Slavery is an ancient institution that has been abolished everywhere Christianity has flourished. Yet there are still Islamic countries today that practice it. So you can squelch that non-sense now. Besides you explain to me how the institution of slavery harmonizes with...
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.
If anyone does not follow these tenets by what right does he call himself Christian?
American Red Indian Massacres, I believe that the Cowboys built churches everywhere they went and called the killing of the Red Indiand self defense, how is that different to Muhammad,
Without getting into the specifics of each of these case I would cite the above answer. And you fail to mention the Christian Missionaries that went among them caring for their sick and injured. So spare me. Out of the two groups who do you think exemplified Christ? And Jesus warned that many would kill in the name of God but would not be his followers.
Jhn 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Jhn 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Jhn 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
the Dutch raided Indonesia, and the Southern Tip of Africa,
These things were going on in the world before the advent of Christ. As I have said before if they did not follow Jesus' command to love and treat one another equitibly by what right do they call themselves Christian?
Hitler a Christian hated the Jews and Christians watched and only reacted when England was threatened,
I am so glad you brought up Hitler.
The fact that the Japanese have retained their political philosophy, which is one of the essential reasons for their success, is due to their having been saved in time from the views of Christianity. Just as in Islam, there is no terrorism in the Japanese State religion, but, on the contrary, a promise of happiness. This terrorism in religion is , to put it briefly, of a Jewish dogma, which Christianity has universalized and whose effect is to sow trouble and confusion in men’s minds.

Under the guidance of the Reich, Europe would speedily have become unified. Once the Jewish poison had been eradicated, unification would have been an easy matter. France and Italy, each defeated in turn at an interval of a few months by the two Germanic Powers, would have been well out of it. Both would have had to renounce their inappropriate aspirations to greatness. At the same time they would have had to renounce their pretentions in North Africa and the Near East; and that would have allowed Europe to pursue a bold policy of friendship towards Islam.
4th February 1945
All Islam vibrated at the news of our victories. The Egyptians, the Irakis and the whole of the Near East were all ready to rise in revolt. Just think what we could have done to help them, even to incite them, as would have been both our duty and in our own interest!...The Sword of Islam evokes the same sneering chuckle now as it did before the war. This title, which is fitting for Mahomed and a great conqueror like Omar, Mussolini caused to be conferred on himself by a few wretched brutes whom he had either bribed or terrorized into doing so. We had a great chance of pursuing a splendid policy with regard to Islam.
17th February 1945
The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France.

I could go on from there but my point is made. Hitler had long ago abandoned whatever temporal ties he had to Christianity and favored Islam. Especially because of its' long standing history of hatred for Jews. He even went so far as to ally with the Grand Mufti Husseini from Jerusalem to create panzer units and help annihilate the Jews. Furthermore, as I have shown by what measure would he call himself Christian?
then all Christian countries refused to give the Jewish refugees a place except the palestinians and they paying the price for the allowing treacherous Jews to once again enter Palestine. Vietnam, San Salvador, Afghanistan Iraq and the List goes on and on. You may want sweep in front of your own door.
Many Jews migrated to the US and other countries at that time. But it was only right that they should return to their HOMELAND that even the Qur'an acknowledges that they are to return to. And arab countries did everything in their power to keep the Jews out of their HOMELAND.Palestine has never existed as a country. In fact their was a time when Palestinian referred to Jews in the Holy Land. The muslims their regarded the term with disdain and many of them considered themselves Syrians. So again save yourself the embarrasment and stick to the topic being discussed.
The propaganda machine is making Muslims out to be terrorist while the vast majority lives in Peace with much less crime than in any Non muslim country, You paying much more than Jizya in your own country, oh I forgot the Government is calling it Taxes wait a minute taxes means Jizya in ARABIC.
Muslim terrorists are making muslims out to be terrorists. And while many muslims do live in peace many do not. And Muhammad certainly did not. And we pay taxes for health-care, road repair, social endeavors etc. We do not pay taxes because of what we believe. And that is the difference.
