"BRING OUT YOUR SOURCES!"

Google "Koran", pick any translation listing and lookup Sura 9:5 that you have "quoted" here twice. EVERY one of them will show what your chosen source has left out in order to misslead.

Perhaps the truth will have more impact when you find it yourself.

OK I did that. I clicked on the first one that came up that had the same numbers in it:

"Notes About Koran"To help some readers find certain quotes, like Surah 9.5 (Surah: 9, Ayah 5, or The Immunity 9.5), we have copied the following notes on the Koran, ...
www.gospelweb.net/CultureWar/notesaboutkoran.htm - 9k -

The Koran consists of 114 chapters, called Surah (pl. Suwar), they are also given names. Surah 1 is called The Opening, Surah 9 would be The Immunity, and so on (see below for the complete list of Suwar).

So, Surah 9.123 would be The Immunity, verse (Ayah) 123, which reads:

"O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)."

Surah 9.5 would be The Immunity, verse (Ayah) 5, which reads:

"So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

You might find the above referred to as: The Immunity 9.123, The Immunity 9.5, or as quoted Surah: 9, Ayah 123, and Surah: 9, Ayah 5, and so on.

Surah: 4, Ayah: 91 quoted in part:

".... then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority."

NOW WHAT?
