Myth vs Fact

Myth Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.

Reliance of the Traveller, Book O.10.2


O10.2

As for personal booty, anyone who, despite resistance, kills one of the enemy or effectively incapacitates him, risking his own life thereby, is entitled to whatever he can take from the enemy, meaning as much as he can take away with him in the battle, such as a mount, clothes, weaponry, money, or other.

Bottom Line:
  • Why does the ‘religion of peace’ contemplate war?
  • Why does the ‘religion of peace’ have a legal ruling on personal spoils?
