Rodney Stark Quote
IN WHAT CAME TO BE KNOWN as his farewell address, Muhammad is said to have told his followers: I was ordered to fight all men until they say ‘There is no god but Allah.’1 This is entirely consistent with the Qur’an (9:5) : [S]lay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them [captive], and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. In this spirit, Muhammad’s heirs set out to conquer the world.
