Don’t take my word for it, of course. Take Imam Abdul Makin’s word for it, instead. What’s interesting is the imam’s unusual frankness about the subject — the permissibility of rape and murder directed by Muslims at non-Muslims — which I suspect may have had something to do with the fact that the interviewer was a woman (or should that be “was but a lowly woman”?).

N.W. : But our Prophet was sent as a mercy for all the humanity; he never hurt any body in his life?

Imam : Yes he never hurt a Muslim in his life. But Allah said non-Muslim are lowest beasts and worst creatures in ayas 8.22,8.55,95.5 and 98.6 and Muslim are ordered to kill them.

N.W. : But did prophet approve of killing them and raping their wives?

Imam : Yes he did. He not only approved of such acts, he and his sahabas practiced it regularly under Allah’s orders. He was helpless in it… If you don’t believe me , you have to believe sahih hadiths. I will quote you two hadiths about his typical day after a raid. These hadiths are about the raid on jewish village Khaibar whose chief was Kinana who had gorgeous 17 year old wife Safia. Prophet tortured and beheaded Kinana in front of Safia and raped her all night afterwards.

It kind of reminds me of that line from an episode of Battlestar Galactica: “Your girlfriend’s from a lovely family; good people, great values.” Here we have, yet again, an Islamic community leader openly advocating for the rape and murder of “the infidel” and using the Koran (and the hadiths) to justify his standpoint. And yet somehow, the producers of Law and Order get it in their heads that maniacal fundamentalist Christians are the real problem?
