Ok, MR Smith, have you read the Koran? What part of
"Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar) where ever you find them." [Al-Qur’an 9:5]
Do YOU think can be read any other
way? The Koran goes even as far as to declare about Abraham: "No: Abraham in truth was not a Jew, neither a Christian; but he was a Muslim and one pure of faith; certainly he was never of the idolators." (III - The House of Imran: 60)
"...And he brought down those of the People of the Book who supported them from their fortresses and cast terror in their hearts; some you slew, some you made captive. And He bequeathed upon you their lands, their habitations, and their possessions, and a land you never trod. Allah is powerful over everything." (XXXIII - The Confederates: 25)
Mr. Smith, have you read the kuran? Not just parts of it, but the WHOLE thing. At times when Prophet Mohammed was introducing the religion of islam, he was constantly brutally attacked. When it was time for him to go pray these "mushriqueens" would attack him as he would walk to the mosque(muslim church). So when the kuran says "kill the mushriqeens where ever you find them"...by that it means "the ones that do harm". If someone attacks you mr.smith, wouldnt you attack back? or would you let them beat you till you die? Prophet mohammed never retaliated when he would get attack but rather take a beating and at the end of the day, ask allah to forgive the ones that attacked him.
