"Are you afraid to provide the entire quote ?"

Which quote?

If you are referring to the article in the UK Newspaper, here's the rest of it:

The Arabic word jihad can mean holy war among extremists in addition to its definition as the Islamic concept of the struggle to do good.

Karahan spoke for three hours at the court in Istanbul.

"If non-Muslims go into Muslim lands, it is every Muslim's obligation to fight them," Karahan said.


A panel of three judges for the fiercely secular Turkish Republic listened to Karahan patiently, without speaking, as the defence lawyer read from four thick file folders.


Twenty-nine of the suspects were brought to the courthouse for the hearing, handcuffed and escorted by paramilitary police. They sat in the middle of the courtroom, surrounded by police.


More than a dozen other lawyers were also present but only Karahan spoke in the morning session.


Later in the day, several defendants acknowledged receiving training at foreign camps for Islamic militants or making plans to carry out acts of extremist violence, but all but one denied a link to the Istanbul bombings or to al Qaida.

I confined my excerpt to the words spoken in defence. That's islam explaining in court...the defendant was ONLY following his religion...




"BTW - didn't we have a conversation about you providing "quotes" that were either out of context or simply false a long while ago ?"

No, we did not. You insinuated - I provided the link:

USC-MSA Compendium of Muslim Texts.
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/

Translation of Sahih Bukhari
Translator: M. Muhsin Khan



Maybe your argument re translation is with the translator, M Mushin Khan, perhaps your objections are related to the translators background? Don't like Pakistani's hmmm?

Are you afraid to provide the entire quote ?

"Which quote?"

Your partial quote from your post 27 where you say ...

"and pretty much wherever Muslims believe their religion tells them to:

"Fight and slay the Unbelievers wherever ye find them. Seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war."
Qur'an, Sura 9:5

Your provision of false or incomplete "quotes" to further your position is really poor technique ... why do you persist in doing that ?
