The first battle fought in Islam was the battle of Badr fought in defence against the non believers, the enemies of early Islam. The battle has been passed down in Islamic history as a decisive victory attributable to divine intervention, or by secular sources to the strategic genius of Muhammad

What did Mohammed do when he arrived in Mecca after winning the war?

Technically, it wasn't a war. A battle occured when the Makkans wanted to either defend their caravan or wipe out the Muslims. The battle of badr was a defense for Abu Sufyan's caravan, (Abu Sufyan was the leader of the Quraish, the dominant tribe in Makkah). The Caravan had the possesions of the Muslims who left Makkah. The verse in the Quran then was revealed, which allowed the Muslims to fight for what was theirs. Uhud was a battle in which Makkans wanted to finish the Muslims. Same with the battle of the trench. After the prophet conquered Makkah, he went to the Kabah and destroyed all the idols. There was no bloodshed in this conquest. The Prophet invited the Makkans to come to Islam, and one by one or group by group did. Those who were extremely radical and still against the prophet were killed because they posed a threat to the prophet. As a chieftan of a tribe would convert to Islam, their tribe would follow. But there was one battle left to fight after the conquest. A Nearby city, Taif, was still a center of Idolatry. They assembled an army and marched toward Makkah. Those quraish who had not converted to Islam yet joined with the Prophet's army, as a cause to defend their city. at the battle of Hunain, the idolaters were defeated, and Taif was then sieged until they surrendered.


Why do I get a biased answer when asking if Islam is evil?

Sr. Naturally, labeling any religion or even a person as an evil will drive the religion followers or the person to defend his religion or his position. In addition, premature opinion about things specially religions before having reliable information creates problems. As a brother in humanity, I would to invite you to read about Islam from its reliable sources. Please visit this site and read about the Islam and its rules pertaining to its faith, pillars. Also you will see how Islam advise Muslims to deal with non-Muslims. God (Allah) bless you and good luck.
