arnab bhai,
if islam doesn't mention barbarism...then it is in incomplete relgion. we know that allah sent islam to finalize the revelations he had been sending to mankind for millennia.
the fact of the matter was that the arabs of jahiliyyah (pre-islamic times of ignorance) were very barbaric. evidence? here it is:
1) they used to drink alcohol profusely
2) they practiced adultery with the zeal that desis follow cricket
3) they practiced pimping which knew no bounds
4) they used to marry their mothers
5) they used to exploit the poor, orphans, and women, mainly widows
6) they employed an illogical method to settle tribal disputes by killing any member of a guilty tribe, regardless of whether that person was innocent or not.
7) they performed the hajj naked
8) they used to drink camel's blood
9) they practiced female infanticide
10) slaves had no rights
11) women had no rights
all of these things are barbaric and islam effectively ended these atrocities.
and how is my 1947 history wrong? as far as i know the UN approved the partition plan but the arabs rejected it. if you can prove me wrong with hard evidence then i will change my views.
