@12walshie

I think someone has been telling you porkies mate mohammed was the most peaceful person and he only used violence as a last resort to protect the oppressed orphans and poor

he even cared for his abusive neighbor who dumped rubbish on his doorstep by visiting him when he was sick

he followed the saying evil prevails when good men do nothing

I think if you honestly look at the prophet mohammeds seerah heres the links

Muhammed did not hit aisha if you read the whole tradition one of the miracles of the prophet was that he used to apply a force to the chest of the person to remove evil thoughts same way christians apply a force to the head

when you read it he walks away and she followed him and had bad thoughts so he applied this force

same for when a man came to the prophet he was struck by magic he applied this same force to the chest

If i was interested in learning more about Islam and it Peaceful claim i would have to look at the life of its prophet, just as Christians follow Christianlty because of Jesus and what he taught and accomplished while on this earth. I have read a number of biographies of Mohammad and he did have some good characteristics but the bad ones outweighed the good by 100-1. Thank you for this debate, it has confirmed for me that the peaceful verses have indeed been abrograted. Which is another topic.
