The Covenants of The Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World has been now promoted as a project of ecumenicism (apparently). The text of the Covenant purportedly written by Muhammad in 1630, pertaining to the acceptance and protection of the "Christians of the World" is kind, generous, and liberally tolerant in its claims.
But there are questions: is this for real? How can it be real, considering the holy admonitions of the Qur'an to kill all Jews, to kill all apostates, to conquer and subjugate Christians, those who are not killed? Muhammad himself slit the throats of 100 Jews in a single religious execution atrocity. This covenant seems to fly in the face of both history and holy textual dogma; how can it be true?
If this set of covenants is valid and true, why do the Muslim zealots continue to butcher those who are "protected" by Muhammed himself? Would that savagery not deprive them of their 99 virgins in heaven?
Why are the covenants made to Christians, only? What about Jews? What about other peaceable peoples and cultures? Does this apply to humanity in general, even though the covenants do not say that?
Would that this were the case. I remain skeptical.

Ah, the token troll. Every good blog has one or two. None of them seem to have anything going on beyond flippancy and ad hominem. Such rage!
And such omniscience! It seems to know all about the blog's author! Unfortunately, it cannot seem to comment using polite language. And, yeah, that kinda spoils the effect.
It must be a slow evening for our token troll. It only had seven words to spare on this one.
A peaceful covenant with Christians? I have seen Arab Christians run out of their homes (in the middle east) with their churches destroyed,with men killed, and the women raped.
Troll deleted.
Islam is in trouble in the West,so their apologists are desperately seeking palatable ways to garner more acceptance and less criticism.Islam could never survive the kind of attacks that christianity had to endure since the enlightenment.
It certainly was not written by Mohammad in 1630 AD- he'd been pushing up the daisies for about a thousand years already.
It seems to have been first published by someone else at that time.
Hmm. I take that to be the date of first mass printing, rather than the time of writing.
