There’s 4 (surviving) schools of Sunni Jurisprudence (schools of thought), 4 Shiite.
All of them affirm “abrogation”.
“Abrogation” is the key to understanding Islamic theology.
Abrogation means that when there are conflicting passages in the Koran, the chronologically later one always wins.
The passages affirming peace and tolerance are the chronologically earlier ones, which by the principle of Abrogation no longer apply...
So someone can point at those passages as claims that Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion, without realizing that none of the major branches view those passages as having any weight today.
two thing s everyone must know.
abrogation, as you say.
the other is “al-taqiyaa”.
Interesting. I didn’t know that abrogation was the means through which Islam resolved its apparent contradictions.
