Islamic imperialism came with a different code--the Sunnah of the Prophet. It required its warriors to fall upon the helpless civil population after a decisive victory had been won on the battlefield. It required them to sack and burn down villages and towns after the defenders had died fighting or had fled. The cows, the Brahmins, and the Bhikshus invited their special attention in mass murders of non-combatants. The temples and monasteries were their special targets in an orgy of pillage and arson. Those whom they did not kill, they captured and sold as slaves. The magnitude of the booty looted even from the bodies of the dead, was a measure of the success of a military mission. And they did all this as mujahids (holy warriors) and ghazls (kafir-killers) in the service of Allah and his Last Prophet.

you lashed back with a fury.

Do you acknowledge that the edited versions of the Quranic quotes you quoted in your OP are most definitely different and distorted when compared to the actual, complete quotes such as the one I posted?

You have to call me a racist, because to admit that my criticisms of Islam are valid, would mean some soul searching which you are incapable or unwilling to do. You are a case book example of all that is wrong with Islam. To admit the terrible crimes committed in the name of Muhammad, would probably make getting down on the carpet daily to prostrate yourself to Muhammad, all that much more difficult.

I don't see how, in this modern world, every Muslim can not realize, deep down inside, that no omnipotent God would desire to have his creation pray to him daily in such a manner.

The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's dialogue Euthyphro, in which Socrates asks Euthyphro: "Is the pious (τὸ ὅσιον) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?" (10a)

The dilemma has had a major effect on the philosophical theism of the monotheistic religions, but in a modified form: "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?" This question has presented a problem for theists ever since Plato's original discussion, and it continues to be an object of theological and philosophical discussion today

If you have any legitimate links to back up your claims, then post them. I went back a page, and I don't see where you have provided any links. Every single one of the links I provided points out the brutality of the Muslim invasion of India. It is the same story with all of the Muslim conquests.

By the way, I live among what is probably the largest Indian community in the U.S., was roommates with an Indian at one time. I talk with Indians on a regular basis. You are the idiot, who does not have a clue, who speaks from complete and total bias.
