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).

"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?
"So when the sacred months have passed away,....
This shows that this is during a time of war, the preceding verse mentions that this is against people that you do not have a peace treaty with ...
Is slaying your enemy wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush NOT what you are supposed to do in warfare ?
I certainly hope that our soldiers are taking this advice against Al-queda in Iraq, the remnants of the Taliban in Afganistan, and anyone else of ANY religion that wants to be at war with us.
