Here is the contrast between the Islamic war doctrine and the Judeo-Christian war doctrine:
During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah’s Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children. (Bukhari)
Do not kill a woman, nor a child, nor an old-aged man’ (Sharh as-Sunnah Al-Baghawî)
"Go ye after him through the city and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and woman: (Ez. 9:5), etc

The so-called "Pact of Umar" is a fabrication. Here is what the Prophet said:
“Someone who unjustly kills a dhimmi (person under protection) cannot get a whiff of Heaven. However, its fragrance is felt from a distance of forty years. (Sahih Bukhari, Jizya, 5)
“Whoever oppresses a dhimmi or loads a work that is over his strength or takes something away from him by force, I am his foe on the Day of Judgment.” (Ab Dawud, Kharaj, 31-33)

This Mark Christian Aussie preacher guy definitely sound very hostile and portraying Islam as a very barbaric religion indeed. He should go visit his neighbouring country Malaysia and see with his own two eyes if non Muslims there are ill treated.
