Did I not say about my friend little birdie that he will post looooong posts. Bridie Its good you are going back in the history, then please let the audience know who was in that land before 1250BC?
One thing I have told you so many times that when you quote Quran then please do not be restricted to the verses you chose, just one before that or after that always gives the answer or the reason. I am not sure where you quoted Quran 47:4 from, but perhaps you meant 4:74.
Ok this is 4:74
74. Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory - Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).
And this is one next to that which you decided to ignore,
75. And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!"
Again go back in the history and see if few thing are right or wrong, and I would wait for another long post.
