[quote=Anonymous]There have been several journal articles recently about "Mecca vs. Medina Muslims." The argument goes that both peace and war can be found in the Quran. The first verses were dictated when Muhammad was in Mecca, his Muslim followers were a minority, and the approach was generally conciliatory. Later verses were dictated when Mohammad was in Medina, his forces were stronger, they were fighting the Qureshi and others, so the tone is more aggressive. The point is that both facets are the "real" Islam. This is because both war and peace are found in the Quran. A further point is that Muslims take the Quran literally, i.e. God dictated it directly to Mohammad via an angel. Thus, in theory, all passages have comparable validity. (Atheist trolls/derailers please go away. The grownups are trying to talk.)[/quote]
