Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
The Hadith are the 2nd most important work in Islamic liturgical theology. Many Moslem 'scholars' [apologists, propagandists] have declared them to be divinely written. Sharia Law is based in part on these Hadith or commentary about the life of Muhammad. Rather odd then that they contain adjurations to kill innocent children of the Infidel.
A noted Moslem 'scholar' and expert, Prof. Ahmad Hasan in his acclaimed work, Sunan Abu Dawud, English translation Volume II, on p. 739; 1984, states:
“2018. This tradition allows to kill women and children of the infidels in the Battle. The other traditions indicate that it is prohibited to kill women and children in the battle. These contradictory traditions have been reconciled by saying that the tradition of al-Sa‘b b. Jaththamah has been abrogated. The other interpretation is that it is allowable to kill women and children when the settlements of the infidels are attacked at night, as they cannot be distinguished from the fighting men in the dark.”
Muslim in his Hadith confirms that murdering innocent children of the Infidel, in the name of the Allah-thing, is expected, since Muhammad murdered them during raids - at night.
It is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah, when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them. (Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4321)
It is narrated by Sa'b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them. (Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4322)
Sa'b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them. (Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4323)
Muhammad sometimes did not murder the children but just the old men of the Infidel polytheists:
Narrated
Samurah ibn Jundub:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said:
Kill the old men who are polytheists, but spare their children.
(Sunan
Abu Dawud,
Book 14, Number
2664)
Bukhari seems to believe that murdering the women and children of the Infidel ape and pig is justified and glorious and part of the Muhammadan tradition.
“19:4457 - The Messenger of Allah used not to kill the children, so you should not kill them unless you could distinguish between a child who would grow up to be a believer and a child who would grow up to be a non-believer, so that you killed the prospective non-believer and left the prospective believer alive.”
When Moslems say that Islam does not condone the murder of Christians and other polytheists they are either liars or completely ignorant of their own cult.
