Part of Jerusalem, which is a non-starter.
OOOH. So Israel has to own ALL of Jerusalem, a holy city for three differing religions. Israel doesn't own all of Jerusalem right now. You realize this, right? Oh, it's because you can't tolerate having a different religion there that has some people that want to kill your religion. Ahh. Or are you forgetting that a majority of Nazis were Christian?
Am I the lead negotiator? This is what Israel wants. Are you drunk? Are you asking me what I want or what Israel would want. You are all over the place and you cannot freaking read.
Do you agree that Mohammed was a warlord? Simple Y or N will suffice.
Mohammed defeated the city garrison at Mecca (a nice piece of military tactics) and then took several other regional cities on the east and west coast of the peninsula. He then promptly died, not having even conquered the whole of what we think of as Saudi Arabia today. Virtually all of the Islamic expansion was done by his successors.
This is not exactly the military record of Alexander or Napoleon. To answer your question directly, yeah, I guess he would be defined as a warlord. The fact remains that he pales in comparison to dozens of Chinese and European warlords as far as territory and military success is concerned.
What Mohammed is much more importantly known for is as the founder of a dynasty...in the case of the Shi'a, a direct dynasty that is amazingly still around 1400 years later.
