Does it bother Muslims that Muhammad was involved in torture?

The oldest extant biography of Muhammad is called the "Sirat Rasulallah" â€Â" "Life of the Prophet of Allah". This book was written by Ibn Ishaq, a devout Muslim scholar, and later revised by Ibn Hisham. It was written before any of the major works of Hadith. It is considered the most authentic biography of Muhammad. It was translated into English by A. Guillaume as "The Life of Muhammad".

page 515 reads:

"Kinana al-Rabi, who had the custody of the treasure of Banu Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew came (Tabari says "was brought"), to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the apostle said to Kinana, "Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?" He said "Yes". The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr Al-Awwam, "Torture him until you extract what he has." So he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud."

Was Muhammad the Best Example of greed?

Relatives from overseas visiting, need some information please?

My cousin and her family (husband, 2 teenagers ) are flying out and we thought to send them two E-Readers or Kindles preloaded with some books about Australia. Which type are best, that is, holds most, non-reflective, long lasting battery? What are some sites that have good cheap stories about Australia? Touristy things, funny,landscapes or maybe nghtlife in both our cities and our outback. Also, which retail shops might have the best deals. Any links will be appreciated.

How should I market my book?

I started work on a trilogy ("The Awakening Trilogy") and recently got the first book, "Deep Sleep", published through Amazon.

I tried advertising the book on Facebook, and even emailed local libraries about it, but I haven't had much luck. The dean librarian at the community college wants to buy a copy, and a very good friend wants to buy an autographed copy. A couple of friends bought their own copies, one in print and the other through Kindle, and an acquaintance had bought a Kindle version in the United Kingdom. Still, all that in one year is a bit of a bad start. I'm not expecting millions of copies to be sold (though, it would be awesome), but it would be really cool to see my book in some local bookstores if anything!

What are some good ways to market the book? I'm about to order just a few copies and might be able to do a "book signing sale" at the local "arts council" this summer.

Kindle Fire won't update to new Silk Browser?

My sisters kindle fire updated automatically so it has the new looks and perks, with the orange and white circle as an icon. Mine is still the icon of a blue map with a ribbon of colors and looks before the update. It's been like this for weeks, I just realized I'd missed an update. I've tried everything to get it to update, looking in all the settings, resetting the app, removing it, shutting down the kindle. Nothing has worked. So how do I update it?
Thank you for any and all answers!

I am looking to get my first motorcycle. I have found a well cared for 2003 r6 for $2800. My question is, is it too much?

Difference between full stop and comma usage when writing dialogue?

I'm writing me second novel. I know, I know. The first one is full of mistakes. But I'd like to do better this time. Can't get my head around the use of commas and periods in dialogue. When I look at Kindle samples for popular novels the rules seem confusing.

For example please explain or correct this…

James looked up at Alfred. "Time?"
"Haven't seen it yet." The Instructor tapped his foot on a red line.
"Well boo hoo," Claire said, "I can't even see the sky."

The dialogue might not make sense. I've essentially copied the punctuation from a Kindle sample that's rated pretty highly. I didn't want to risk offending the author. I would have thought that it should have been written like this:

James looked up at Alfred. "Time?"
"Haven't seen it yet," the Instructor tapped his foot on a red line.
"Well boo hoo," Claire said, "I can't even see the sky."

Note the comma after yet and the non capitalization of the T in the.

Which is correct, or how should it be written?
Added (1). As per the advice given here, I'm looking at some of the published Amazon novels now that I've bought. In a very very popular novel I'm quoting thus:

"She'll be okay, she's a strong one," Calvin says. He holds Lilly's gaze, "How about you?"
then
"I hear ya." He cocks his head a bit, "You're pretty handy with that firearm."

Why is the "I hear ya." finished with a full stop and not a comma? If the comma is correct after strong one, then why does How about you begin with a capital?

Interracial dating is wrong according to this scripture?

But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.

and when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. 3"Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons. 4"For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods; then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you and He will quickly destroy you.…

I want you to swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,

"Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.

And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.
