Would it be fair to call Islam a "Warrior Religion"?

[Helm]

That's the term I coined for religions that are honourable but keen on the old fisticuffs when the need arises, and they also tend to be heavily male orientated. Other examples would include the Nordic religions and the Klingons from Star Trek.

I like how you just went from completely serious to completely ridiculous without anyone seeing it coming. The Klingons from Star Trek.

Even if you did intend it to be serious, I still lol'd. It was funny.

Anyway I'm inclined to agree.

Probably not. It wouldn't fit in Shia especially.

Warrior religion, yes it is and it has great true warriors having patience and kindness god gifted, some of these great warriors are David,Solomon and Mohammad (pbuh).

I think you'll find King David and King Solomon were Jewish.

Peace be with you Bro! but would you please name a single place which was occupied by Muslims and whole local populace was massacred?

That isn't what conquest is, you know. Conquest is gaining control of an area through force.
Let's just look at the initial explosion of Islamic conquest: pre-Islam, Arabs pretty much only inhabited the Arabian peninsula - a few centuries after Islam, they were everywhere from Al-Andalus (Spain), North Africa and the Levant.

King David and Solomon (pbuh) were both Jew by race but they brought one religion all, what we call Islam.And what is a warrior religion? In all religion there are verses urging followers on war with evil.

But they were muslims = "one who submits." See Islam basically hogs all the prophets to themselves because God said so...

I imagine I could find a Rabbi or two who'd disagree with you.
I think it's easiest to base it on what they professed: they were professing Jews. So they were Jewish.

Why do I care what the Jews think, God says otherwise

Besides the Jews said a lot of things, like "Moses I promise you we won't worship this shiny gold cow." or "God if you throw us a stick we will observe the sabbath and never ever break it..." They were also complaining about a damn messiah for centuries and actually put him on the cross when he came... Jesus is disappointed

Moral of the story is, always trust the Jews...

David and Solomon were Jews. I don't know what the silly Quran told you.

[Banana Jelly]

David and Solomon were believer's of god and submitter's to god. The definition of muslim is "a person who submit's to god". So there automatically muslim. But that doesn't matter as much, as there still submitters to the same god.

that they were monotheists

The Qu'ran is supposed to be a moral guide isn't it? If it's halfway decent, it should prohibit expansionism, warmongering and all such similar things.

yeah yeah it should also say that you should take it up the ass even if you are being attacked

[Banana Jelly]

that they were monotheists

and they believed in allah

[Fiyenyaa]

and they believed in allah

According to you. Jews would probably disagree.

[boofhead]

For the militant fundamentalists, sure. Just as well they're poor fighters. Spray 'n' pray and cry ''Allahu Akbar!'' and get martyred in a flash.

Now a cerebral militant like the Jew.....

[Manco]

For having a warrior religion, most Muslim armies these days kinda suck monkeyballs.

[ShADoW]

Its the thought that counts :p

[Sir Winston Churchill]

I suppose, until those damn jihadist fanatics dishonor themselves. It sucks when good things are ruined by bad people.

[Poet]

Yes I believe that Islam is the religion of True Mujahids (Jihadies) like him.Any idiot killing non-muslims in revenge of their Governments' acts is not mujahid neither a true follower of Prophet (pbuh).

[Shams al-Ma'rifa]

Manking as a whole has violent tendencies... You can call it w/e you want but then you'd have to give the same treatment to the Christians, Jews, Pagans, Hindus, Atheists, etc...
