Update: http://islamexposed.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-prophet-waged-war-by-means-of.html is now live. It is nearly book length and well detailed & documented with Sira to which I do not have access. Please read and share it widely!
"The Sealed Nectar" is the nearest thing to an official biography of the Profiteer. The book is hagiographic, written by a qualified Alim, not contrived by enemies of Islam. It holds a revelation for us: Moe dictated and dispatched extortion letters by private courier.
The tale of terror begins on page 350 of the biography. We first learn that the Profit decided to spread the message Of Islam beyond Arabia by sending letters to kings and emperors. Believing that they would ignore letters not under seal, he commissioned the making of a signet ring and purchased sealing wax to make his missives look official. Click the images below to view them full sized, read them and think about the letter to Negus.

The opening sentence o the letter is more ominous that it may appear at first: "Peace be upon him who follows true guidance and believes in Allah and His Messenger." If peace is upon the follower of guidance, what about the one who rejects it? What is the polar opposite of peace? What is the guidance? On the abstract , it is Moe's recitation: the Qur'an. On the concrete level of the letter, it is Moe's demand. The message: 'do as I demand or I will wage war against you.'.
He tells Negus that Allah has no son, contradicting Christianity, then he inserts the hook: 'I call you unto the fold of Islam; if you embrace Islam, you will find safety," What would Negus find if he rejected Islam? What is the polar opposite of safety?
Next Moe quotes Surah Al-Imran 3.64, the infamous "common word" deception, then he restates his threat: "Should you reject this invitation, then you will be held responsible for all the evils of the Christians of your people." If Negus rejects Islam, the evils of his peop;le will be on his head. In other words: 'Convert or die.'.
Succeeding pages reveal similar missives to Egypt, Persia, the Byzantines, Bahrain, Yamama, Damascus and Oman.
On page 353 we discover how the emissary to Egypt clarified the threat: "We invite you to embrace Islam, which will
suffice you all what you may lose. Our Prophet has called people to profess this Faith, Quraish and the Jews stood against him as bitter enemies, " No doubt Muqawqas was aware of what Moe did to the Jews of Khaibar. Moe deliberately built a reputation for barbarian repine and used it to intimidate intended victims.
Those letters depend on implication reinforced by direct threats from the emissaries. One letter, to Aqaba, a port city in Jordan, is more explicit, clearly stating the Profit's intentions Read it, let it sink in for a moment, then read it again and raise your voice in execration.
LETTER
TO THE CHIEFS OF AQABA
In the name of ALLAH the compassionate, the Merciful
From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah
To the People of Aqaba
May peace be on you. I praise Allah who is one and except whom there is nobody else to be worshipped.
I do not intend to wage war against you till you receive my written reason for it. It is better for you, either to accept Islam or agree to pay Jiziya and consent to remain obedient to Allah, His prophet and his messengers. My messengers deserve honour. Treat them with respect. Whatever pleases my messengers, will also please me.
These people have been informed of the orders about Jiziya. If you desire that there should be peace and security in the world, obey Allah and His Prophet. Thereafter none in Arabia and Ajam (Iran) shall dare cast an evil eye on you. But the rights of Allah and His Prophet can at no time be waived.
If you do not accept these terms and set them aside, I do not need your presents and gifts. In that case, I shall have to wage war (to establish peace and security). Its result would be that the big ones shall be killed in war and the commoners shall be taken prisoners.
I assure you that I am a true Prophet of Allah. I believe in Allah, and His Books, and His Prophets and am of the faith that Maseeh (Messiah) son of Mariam (Mary), is a Prophet of Allah and His word.
Hurmala (Raziallah AnhoA.) who brought to me 3 wasaq (about 6 quintals) of barley, recommended your case. Had it not been in compliance of the command of Allah and the good opinion of Hurmala for you, it would not have been necessary for me to correspond with you and instead of it, there would have been a war. If you will obey my messengers, you shall immediately have my support and the help and support of everyone who is attached to me.
My messengers are Shuraih-beel, Obaiy, Hurmala and Hurais (Raziallah AnhoA.) and whatever decision they take in respect of you, shall be acceptable to me.
Your people are under the protection and responsibility of Allah and His Prophet.
Supply provisions to the Jews of Maqna, for their journey to their country.
If you accept obedience, may peace be on you.'
Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad .

Does any legitimate religion recruit by intimidation and conquest? But Islam does. A saying collected by Imam Muslim, 19.4294, presents three options:
- Embrace Islam
- Join the Jihad
- Pay Jizya and live in a submissive state of subjugation
- War!
Al-Mughira told a Persian General:
Our Prophet, the Messenger of our
Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give
Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord
says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to
Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and
whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."
Sidi Haji Abdrahaman , Tripopli's Ambassador to England, told Thomas Jefferson:
"It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once." [24]
In view of these facts and Osama bin Ladin's letter to America*, I call upon you to urge your Congressman or Member Of Parliament to introduce a declaration of war against Islam.
*
... The first thing that we are calling
you to is Islam.
a) The religion of the Unification of God; of freedom from associating
partners with Him, and rejection of this; of complete love of Him, the
Exalted; of complete submission to His Laws; and of the discarding of
all the opinions, orders, theories and religions which contradict with
the religion He sent down to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him)....
...If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him. The Nation which is addressed by its Quran with the words: Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of believing people. And remove the anger of their hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. Quran 9:13-1
. . .
If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy. This is our message to the Americans, as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?[13]
