That is not a smart question to ask.
One Muslim friend gives me this ( of course he ignores all the other violent Quranic texts ):
“Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.” [Sûrah al-Baqarah: 256]
If I remember his explanation to me, it is this:
One of the fundamental truths established by the sacred texts is that no one can be compelled to accept Islam. It is the duty of Muslims to establish the proof of Islam to the people so that truth can be made clear from falsehood. After that, whoever wishes to accept Islam may do so and whoever wishes to continue upon unbelief may do so. No one should be threatened or harmed in any way if he does not wish to accept Islam.
ISLAM = ISIS
ISIS = ISLAM
That is a truth in its entirety. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
Your question is bad in 2 ways, it sends people to looking for those passages, and those passages exist.
You are correct in what you are thinking, but lawyers know not to make the mistake of your post.
I think a better way to state the problem is: What do jihadis do that isn’t demanded of them by their prophet?
Their prophet defines what their religion _is_. People who claim to follow a _religion_ but don’t do anything that it’s founder/prophets say and do, are _not_ members of the religion.
ISIS is doing exactly what their prophets said and did.
Have you lost your head?
Actually there are passages that contradict what ISIS does. They also contradict what Mohammed did, and later passages. When Mo was just a nutjob in Mecca with few followers he preached that conversion had to be voluntary. Later when he had a band of armed followers he preached terror and jihad against any who didn’t convert. Asked how Allah could say one thing before and another later he just said Allah can do anything including change his mind. Islamic scholars know that those earlier passages have been nullified by later ones, but cite them to westerners to fool us.
You can find the letter of 120 Muslim scholars denouncing Al-Bagdadhi and ISIS online.
The problem is there are really two Korans. The Mecca Koran in which Mo preached peace and failed to accrue a significant number of followers. Then there is the Medina Koran in which Mo preached violence and obtained legions of followers with the promise of booty through pillage, rape and murder. Islamic apologists either don’t know the difference or obscure it to hide it’s evil.
Half of the Koran is about defecation and menstruation.
