#17 arabian – And why did Mohammed tell him to remain behind? Because of his oath (which, mind you, was given unto someone else)? Or was it in case they were unsuccessful and needed agents in Mecca, afterwards?
Your position is ridiculous. We in the West value our oaths. Such things are one of the foundations of a civilized society. If I promise you, or myself, something, I must do all I can do to follow through. Do I fail, then I must do all I can to make amends, to atone. It s called honor. It is not your hubris-filled Islamic version of honor. It is about my integrity, being true to myself. It is a matter of character.
When other men can depend upon you to honor your word, then they can make plans of their own with greater certitude. They may undertake greater risks, because the risk is diminished. This is why the West has dominated the rest of the world. We can accomplish greater things, because we can work together in confidence.
One can do no such thing with a Muslim. They smile in your face and rage in their hearts. Like Lucifer. Like Mohammed. Snakes.
