Today we look at more propaganda from Muslim apologists.

For this thread I used an article from this website that you want to bookmark:

THE MYTH: Pagans were the first to draw blood in their conflict with Muslims at Mecca.

Let's debunk that one!

1. The Muslims were actually the first to resort to physical violence when Sa’d bin Abu Waqqas picked up a camel’s jawbone and struck a local polytheist who was “rudely interrupting” his group of praying Muslims:

2. New converts were quite aggressive, particularly when they could get away with it. An example is when one of the strongest Muslims, Hamza, struck a Meccan leader by the name of Abu Jahl ‘violently” with his bow for speaking in an insulting way to Mo:

3. Although Abu Jahl did not retaliate against the more powerful man at the time, he later mistreated his Muslim slaves, almost certainly as a consequence of his public humiliation.

4. The Muslims would later be the first to declare war at Mecca, and were subsequently evicted. Even then, they were the first to renew hostilities as Muhammad ordered deadly raids against Quraish merchant caravans from his new home in Medina.

5. As it turned out, the man who was the first to draw blood against the Quraish at Mecca was later the first to shoot an arrow at them after hijra, during one of the first raids:
