Qatilu: Meaning to wage wars (fight), this word appears 64 times in the Quran. Through the use of this word in the celestial book, Allah commanded all Muslims to wage wars on the unbelievers (kaferun in Arabic), mainly, for the purpose of plunder. In such wars, Muslims have Allah’s permission to kill their victims in order to enable them to take over their possessions together with their female family members.

I am confused. I thought it was a religion of peace?

Like qatilu, Jihad also denotes hostile acts, in the shape of wars, which Muslims, under Allah’s command, undertook in the past and are required to undertake even now and in future against the non-Muslims, specifically with the purpose of converting them to Islam. In Jihads, Muslims should not expect to gain any booty, but should it come their way in the aftermath of their ‘striving in the cause of Allah,’ they should not only accept it gladly, they must also cherish it wholeheartedly, for all rewards and gifts come from Allah. Refusing gifts from Allah is a cardinal sin (cf. Quran; 66:1).

I am sure you'd find this on your own, but just in case. :)

RoPers clarifying the true meaning and obligation of
Jihad:

...the importance, reward and requirement for the Muslims to perform Jihaad Fi Sabeel Lillah i.e. physical struggle:

...the saying and actions of Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) show that Jihaad definitely is to start (offensive) fighting the kuffar to make the Words of Allah the highest and to propagate (da’wa) the call of Islam. Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

"I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that, ‘there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger’ and they establish the prayer and the zakat. And if they do this, then from me is protected their blood and their wealth except by the right granted by Allah."

As for his (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) actions, they are full of actions that show Jihaad is to start the fighting. So when he went out to Badr to take the caravan belonging to the Quraysh, this was going out to fight, this is offensive – as Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) initiated the action before the Quraysh. Likewise, when Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) invaded Hawazin in the battle of Hunayn, when he (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) seiged Ta’if and the battle of Mutah to fight the Romans and the Battle of Tabuk – all of these are evidences to show that Jihaad is to start fighting kuffar (offensive). This should clarify the erroneous view that in origin Jihaad is defensive...

It doesn't matter whether normal human beings believe this swill.
It suffices that the absolute dregs of humanity believe it, and seal their own fate.

Reason with nonsense written by the absolute ignorant for the absolute ignorant? I don't think so. Suffice to say that every "reward" listed in the comic book satisfies or appeals to the absolute basest physical human appetitites.
Could have been written for every subhuman species on the planets; all the way below the cockroaches.

"We can prevent destruction of our earth only if we are willing to fight for the elimination of those verses of the Quran that exhort Muslims to fight in the cause of Allah. Failure to do so would only exacerbate the sufferings of the non-Muslims. Therefore, let us join hands and work together to get rid of all those verses of the Quran that incite Muslims to launch Jihad against the non-Muslims of the world."


Perhaps I am missing an imortant element in this essay...
but, is this writer not saying certain parts of the qu'ran need to eliminated in order to save the world?

Or is this just double talk on the part of the author?

Interesting, but still a cop out. The Qu'ran cannot be edited. It must be eliminated. It is nothing but the words of a man with a god-complex.

Very lengthy article describing what the Quran directs it's believers to do to unbelievers.

It is a religion of hate and their God is Satan.
