Question: If Islam is the religion of peace, why did Apostle Mohammed waged war against other religions?

The apostle started war against other religions for these reasons:
1- As for non heavenly religions as Buddhism, Magianism and others, because those religions were invented by man not revealed by heavenly divine revelation, so their orders and rules were confused and they were not suitable for people at different places or times, mature minds also couldn’t accept what they order.
Whereas the Jewish and Christians people who followed the truth and kept to it, they believed in him and followed him as mentioned in those religions and recommended by their apostles.
But those who sought benefits of this life and priesthood or clerical positions changed and distorted their religions to suit their desires, they also told their followers untrue sayings about Islam and its prophet, different from the facts they know and mentioned in their religions.
2- As the apostle was sent by the truth from Allah to all people as mentioned in the Koran:
“We have not sent you but as a universal (Messenger) to people, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin),” Surat Saba’ Verse 28.
So he had to make the facts of religion illustrated by Allah clear to all people and everyone prevent him from expounding this he should dislodge him so as to be able to do the mission instructed by Allah.
3- If we returned to the facts of history, we see that the apostle didn’t declare war against such people but they incited their kings and their followers to collect armies to fight him, their bishops and rabbis carried out the morale war to mislead beat his religion, so he (peace be upon him) was just defending himself and declaring the orders, morals and principles he got from his Lord and we see the time proved and still proving that they are the most useful for mankind at all times and everywhere, humanity need this badly now, that’s why the English writer Bernard Shaw said after the second world war in which more than 30 million people were killed: If Mohammed was among us now, he would solve all the problems of humanity as if he is having a cup of coffee



 
Except that Messenger Muhammad saws did not wage wars against other religions. In fact, he did not even start a war with polytheistic Arabs of his time. The war he fought against them was not provoked by him, he and his people did not want the war, and Allah SWT never ordered such a war until it was determined that Muslims must defend. Allah SWT says in the Qur'an that humans are created diverse, of different beliefs, and that not all will be Muslims. And there is a reason for that, and since those are facts Muslims and Muhammad saws did not wage wars against such peoples unprovoked.
 
Islam (dien)= peace

Moses = peace
Jesus = peace
Muhammad = peace

same religion, same sharia, same message,

The same religion (dien) has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).( سورة الشورى , Ash-Shura, Chapter #42, Verse #13)

but after moses they divided into sects and called themselves Jews religion
but after Jesus they divided into sects and called themselves Christians religion
but after Muhammad they divided into sects and called themselves Islam religion

this is why god keep sending messenger after messenger...

Say: "O People of the Book! (jew,christian,muslim) ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not over (these) people without Faith.
( سورة المائدة , Al-Maeda, Chapter #5, Verse #68)

As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did. ( سورة الأنعام , Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #159)

And verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore fear Me (and no other).
But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself.
( سورة المؤمنون , Al-Mumenoon, Chapter #23, Verse #53)

SO TODAY MANKIND SPLIT INTO SECTS (jew,christain, muslim)...
SO ARE WE REALLY FOLLOW THE WAY OF THE PROPHETS?
