Remember when reading the Koran, that whenever there is a conflict among passages, the later ones over rule the earlier ones.
Note: the peaceful passages are in the beginning, and the calls for violence are towards the end.
Also note that the ‘peace’ in the ROP is the peace that will come about when the whole world has been converted to Islam, and not sooner, since Jihad will necessarily be in progress to achieve that end.
That is why I call the Koran the devil’s scriptures.
This is correct, as it was “revealed” over time.
I actually started reading the Koran last night. Not 20 pages into it I saw mention of violence against non-Muslims. So where exactly are the “peaceful” passages in the early part of the book?
