Compared to Muhammad, when it comes to punishing sinners, Aquinas has no imagination: "Crushing the heads of the infidels and splitting their skulls with sharp swords, we continually thrust and cut at the enemy. Blood gushed from their deep wounds as the battle wore them down. We conquered bearing the Prophet's fluttering war banner. Our cavalry was submerged in rising dust, and our spears quivered, but by us the Prophet gained victory." Ishaq:578 Prophet Muhammad Patanjali, a Hindu, under the sway of evil Vedic gods, believed that sinners create their own punishment: "Negative thoughts and emotions are violent, in that they cause injury to yourself and others, regardless of whether they are performed by you, done by others, or you permit them to be done. They arise from greed, anger, or delusion regardless of whether they arise from mild, moderate, or esxcessive emotional intensity. They result in endless misery and ignorance. Therefore, when you consistently cultivate the opposite throughts and emotions, the unwholesome tendencies are gradually destroyed. By abiding in nonviolence, one's presence creates an atmosphere in which hostility ceases." Yoga Sutra of Patanjali II-34, 35 Ahimsa - Non Violence
