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.
War, plunder and 'booty' are common themes in Mein Koran and Mein Hadith. The Hadith by Bukhari are especially interested in the distribution of spoils from the Moslem Jihad. Muhammad often-times remarked [according to these Hadith], that Allah or Baal the Lord [ilah] of Mecca; had made pillage and plunder 'legal' for Moslems. Muhammad of course always took 'his fair share', as demanded by his family deity Baal [Allah]. How convenient.
Plunder is legal and Muhammad's miracle confirms it.

So, the prophet carried out the expedition and when he reached that town at the time or nearly at the time of the 'Asr prayer, he said to the sun, 'O sun! You are under Allah's Order and I am under Allah's Order O Allah! Stop it (i.e. the sun) from setting.' It was stopped till Allah made him victorious.
....The Prophet added: Then Allah saw our weakness and disability, so he made booty legal for us."
Save some of the plunder for future generations of moon-cult followers:

Narrated Aslam:
'Umar said, "Were it not for those Muslims who have not come to existence yet, I would have distributed (the land of) every town I conquer among the fighters as the Prophet distributed the land of Khaibar."
Fight not just for booty, but most importantly for Allah and Muhammad.

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
A bedouin asked the Prophet, "A man may fight for the sake of booty, and another may fight so that he may be mentioned by the people, and a third may fight to show his position (i.e. bravery); which of these regarded as fighting in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah's Cause."
Muhammad's family gets special attention and exemptions when it comes to Jihad and booty.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
'Uthman did not join the Badr battle because he was married to one of the daughters of Allah's Apostle and she was ill. So, the Prophet said to him. "You will get a reward and a share (from the war booty) similar to the reward and the share of one who has taken part in the Badr battle."
Convert to Muhammad's cult and reap the rewards.

Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakim and Miswar bin Makhrama:
When the Hawazin delegation came to Allah's Apostle after they had embraced Islam and requested him to return their properties and war prisoners to them, Allah's Apostle said, "To me the best talk is the truest, so you may choose either of two things; the war prisoners or the wealth, for I have delayed their distribution."
How generous of the great man Muhammad.
It should be noted however, that Prophets of a 'religion' do not lead war expeditions, rape, murder, steal and distribute the profits made from war. Nice cult Islam.
