Mohammad and his followers were facing hostility, and they were forced to react. However, as I shown, the Quran doesn't go on to say you can fight whoever or fight all disbelievers for simply being disbelievers. It said if they incline to peace, to incline to it. Yes there is a lot of verses about Jihaad, but, they put limitations. For example even in Suratal Baraat where it says to kill polytheists after the sacred month is over, it says it's due to them breaking treaties, and as far as those who stayed true to the treaties, to stay true to them. But all these verses are taken out of context.
So, if you want peace, prepare for war.
Now, if there was just some way to view anything as an act of war against Islam...
