It always surprizes me how much faith people put in the writings of days long past. Words alone cannot convey the full meaning, yet millions of people are willing to take religous documentation at face value, devoting their lives to a faith that is presumed, constructed and evolved from vague histories and teachings written by people who feel a need to have control over a populace.
Words such as those written above can be taken to have so many meanings… “O Prophet! Make War…” Does not necessarily mean to take up arms and force the unbelievers… It could simply be saying to concinve them of their errors, by not being kind with words, but by harshly telling them the error of their ways…
But Alas… Wizards first rule: People are stupid… Harsh but true. 
Yikes!!!!!! I must edit!
“People are Stupid” but that’s MY Motto!
Does that make me a Wizard?
*confused*
Not off the top of my head, but I may discover some familiar rules if prompted.
There are 9 more rules… (yes, and I moved this comment as well as edit it) Here they all are… for my referance as well as everyone elses.
Rule 1. “People Are Stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or they fear to be true.”
Rule 2. “The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.”
Rule 3. “Passion rules reason, for better or for worse.”
Rule 4. “There is magic in sincere forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive.”
Rule 5. “Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.”
Rule 6. “The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.”
Rule 7. “Life is the future, not the past.”
Rule 8. “Deserve victory.”
Rule 9. “A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole.”
Rule 10. “Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one’s self.”
