Joshua and David...and the brutality of genocide

Peace and blessings be upon the most honorable of messengers, our master Muhammad, the unlettered and trustworthy prophet, the best of those who fulfilled the trust, conveyed the message, advised the nation, and removed the distress, so reward him, O Allah, on our behalf with the best reward, and upon his family and companions, all of them.
And after:
Joshua and David...and the methods of genocide:
We all, praise be to Allah, know who the Jews are, the hardness of their hearts, the arrogance of their methods, and the harshness and violence of their approach in both war and peace...and the proverb (He who forgets his past is lost) does not apply to them...for they forgot their past and what they were in of wandering, loss, and enslavement. (And why...??!! And they forgot the word of Allah and what He entrusted to them)...after they fled from Egypt carrying on their shoulders as much gold and silver as they could by means of deception and trickery of the Egyptians...and if it were not for their arrogance...and stubbornness...and haughtiness...and disobedience,,. And their procrastination.. for the orders of God, they did not live lost, hungry and astray in the Sinai desert, which was extremely hot and dry, without crops or water for forty years..... and the hope of Moses, peace be upon him, to enter the Holy Land was not fulfilled.... because they were dependent.... always depended on the help of others.... and they lived on theft.. looting.. fraud.. and swindling.... to the point that they said to Moses, peace be upon him, when he wanted to enter the Holy Land
(So go, you and your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are sitting right here).
However, Joshua (he is Joshua bin Nun), the young man of Moses, took control and took over the banner over them after the departure of Moses. Despite his prophethood, the books of the Jews and Christians described his tyranny... and his brutality... and his inhuman revenge upon entering the Holy Land in a way that... would make children's hair turn gray... and hearts tremble... from the horror of
the destruction he inflicted on the inhabitants of Jericho, the first city that... He entered it...there is no comparison when we mention what the Tatars did
or...Hitler.....or...ISIS recently.....when we mention what Joshua did....and....David...in the Holy Land
Joshua 6:21:
(21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and oxen, sheep and donkeys, with the edge of the sword)

But Joshua ordered the burning of every living thing, including plants and animals..... infants.....and pregnant women...the old and the elderly....children and boys.....all the crops and offspring:
24 And they burned the city with fire and everything in it, only the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and iron they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord
.....Oh the arrogance....not only in the town of Jericho
but from one town to another.... Jericho .....then ..... Ai .....then..... Hazor
Have you seen the traits of cowardice in the Jews.....from humiliation in Egypt.....to disgrace in Sinai and cowardice and fear of entering battles.....to this cruelty and arrogance...Truly the one who said is right (He is holding on until he is able to) .... The strange thing is that Joshua's plan, which is to lay siege to Jericho for 6 days, is not a kind of war plan, but rather to make the children of Israel cowardly, entertain them, calm them down, and just test the waters. .... And the marching around the city with trumpets is nothing but a call to God to help them enter it and spread terror among the people of the city and besiege it.
And when they entered it, their fighting was a fight of fear and of annihilation for everyone, whoever they were... old or... child... or... pregnant... in implementation of the orders of Joshua, the speaker in the name of the Lord!!!.... Then they were not satisfied with that, but they set fire to everything, even animals and crops, to kill everything alive and everything that crawled or flew with four legs
or more, after they had looted everything that was gold or silver for the house of the Lord, as their bloody book boasts about.
The amazing thing is that Rahab, the adulteress, the owner of the brothel, and those who were with her in her house with the spies for Joshua, were not harmed or harmed, and they were protected, and their excuse for that was
(because she believed)... like the harlots and tax collectors into the kingdom of heaven.
25 And Joshua spared Rahab the adulteress, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she lives in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
The bottom line is that Joshua in their book was not satisfied with fighting with the sword, but he annihilated the entire city with fire.
As for David with Ziklag and all the cities of the children of Ammon,
it seems that burning in his view is something that does not quench his thirst and thirst for genocide, so he left this path and adopted another, more bloody method,
just as in the movie SAW (the Saw) with his preparations.... where the bodies were torn apart with threshing machines, saws, and iron axes.
Samuel II
(12: 29-31)
(29 So David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it. 30 And he took the crown of their king from his head, and its weight was a talent of gold with a precious stone, and it was on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, very much. 31 And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them under saws, and iron threshing machines, and iron axes, and made them pass through the brick kiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.)
No pleas of an old woman, nor the groanings of a mother, nor the tears of an infant whose heart was softened.... What kind of human being is this.....and what kind of prophet and messenger
from God, and the hardness of his heart matches the hardness of stone and dust ?
If we imagine the ease of broadcasting and transmitting directly on the air in the visual media.....what would be the reaction of the people..................???!!
Saws, saws, and axes chopping and cutting up human flesh and blood....................??
So ISIS is zero on the left of what one of God’s prophets and messengers did to humanity… with the instigation and assistance of their Creator, the Lord.
What bloodshed, what terrorism, and what cruelty do we see in their book, their Lord, and their prophets?
And about the brutality of David, his behavior, and his morals,
they say
in their interpretations
(Even if we assume that David committed all these brutal acts, this returns the responsibility to King David, and not to the Holy Book, which always mentions things exactly as they happened, with their good and bad, without justification or embellishment, as we also mentioned here on the website of Anba Takla Haymanout in other sections. And we do not believe in the infallibility of a human being, no matter how powerful he is, except in the case of his recording of the Holy Books. As for his personal life, he is from the same dough of humanity, which is subject to error and downfall. If David fell into the sins of adultery and murder, then this revenge, which was a characteristic of that era, is not far from him. And it is natural that it is not fair to measure events that happened thirty centuries ago by today’s standards.)

God Almighty said about David (peace be upon him)
(And We gave to David, Solomon. What an excellent servant! Indeed, he was one who frequently turned back [to God]) Sad
(30).
And the Almighty said, in consolation to the beloved Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace:
(Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant David, the possessor of strength. Indeed, he was one who frequently turned back [to God]) Sad
(17).
There is no power or strength except with God.
