Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” \n\nQur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.” \n\nQur’an:8:65 “O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.” \n\nMuslim:C9B1N31 “I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and believe in me (that) I am the Messenger and in all that I have brought.” \n\nIshaq:470 “We attacked them fully armed, swords in hand, cutting through heads and skulls.”

Islam is a hostile, war-like, backward religious system straight out of the dark ages. just look at the way they treat women. absolutely disgusting. they not only condone violence, they instigate it. To use the word peacfull in the same sentence as Islam is laughable. It is anything but.

Quran says :\nIf anyone killed a person (not in retaliation for murder or to spread mischief in the land) it would be as if he killed the whole of mankind. And (likewise) if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the whole of mankind -- 5:32  \n\nBut what if America asks its army to giveup weapons ????? would they survive ...Muslims are also ordered to be prepared for the war against enemy .....but innocent killing is not allowed ...

Muslims worship Allah, Which is the name of GOD in Arabic. It is the same name used for referring to Father in Arabic Bible. \n\nQuran advocates fighting for self defense. People used to quote verses from the middle to show Quran advocates killing of all non muslims(explained below)\n\nFirst verse in Quran that states fighting is \n"2:190. And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits. "\n\nSimilary, if you search whole Quran you can find only fighting prescribed only for self defence. Some people quote verse from the middle to show that Quran prescribes killing all unbelivers. One most quoted verse is \n" 9: 5. 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,"\n\nWithout quoting the context and the verses below and above a neutral reader will judge Quran is commanding to kill all idolaters. But it's context is only regarding a particular group of idolaters who made an agreement with Muslims and later conspired against them breaking the treaty. This is clear from the preceeding verse\n" 9: 4. Except those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement, then they have not failed you in anything and have not backed up any one against you, so fulfill their agreement to the end of their term; surely Allah loves those who are careful (of their duty)."\n\nSee what Quran says how to deal with those who are not fighting with you\n"60: 8. Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of (your) religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly; surely Allah loves the doers of justice."\n\nsee another verse that refer to protection of all religious buildings \n"(They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,- (for no cause) except that they say, "our Lord is Allah". Did not GOD check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of GOD is commemorated in abundant measure. GOD will certainly aid those who aid his (cause);- for verily GOD is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will). " Quran 22: 40.

I generally despise Bible quotes as answers, but I think this one might be appropriate:\n\n(Exodus 32:27-29) and Moses told them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword on your hip, everyone of you!  Now go up and down the camp, from gate to gate, and slay your kinsmen, your friends and neighbors!"  The Levites carried out the command of Moses, and that day there fell about three thousand of the people.  Then Moses said, "Today you have dedicated to the Lord, for you were against your own sons and kinsmen, to bring a blessing upon yourselves this day."\n\nMoses had 3,000 of his own people executed in one day.  What a wonderful person.  We should all be just like him ...\n\n... or maybe not.

First verse in Quran that mention fighting makes it clear that Muslims are to fight only those who fight them\n\n"And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits. " Quran 2:190. \n\nThe verse you are referring is 8:12 and not 8:2. \n\nThis verses was revealed during battle of Badr, which is the first war in Islam. Muslims after persecution had to leave their home town Mecca to Medina for safety and when enemies followed them to Medina with a huge force of around 1000 men, there were only 313 Muslims to defend this enemy army, who was all set to eradicate Muslims.\n\nSo in this instance God commanded them to either kill their enemies in one stroke on their neck or to render them unable to fight by cutting of their fingers. Muslims are fighting them only because enemies wanted to fight. God accepted prophet's prayer and enemies were instilled with fear and they lost the war.\n\nReading the above and below verses make the context clear. Given below Quran 8:9-13\n\n  8: 9.  When you sought aid from your Lord, so He answered you: I will assist you with a thousand of the angels following one another.  \n\n  8:10.  And Allah only gave it as a good news and that your hearts might be at ease thereby; and victory is only from Allah; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.  \n\n  8:11.  When He caused calm to fall on you as a security from Him and sent down upon you water from the cloud that He might thereby purify you, and take away from you the uncleanness of the Shaitan, and that He might fortify your hearts and steady (your) footsteps thereby.  \n\n  8:12.  When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.  \n\n  8:13.  This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Messenger; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Messenger-- then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).

Peace on you... If we read Quran with understanding it can bring revolution in our life. I hope these verses can help you which I took from the very beginning of Quran.\n“ This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).Who believe in the unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that we have bestowed upon them; And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and certain of the Hereafter. These depend on guidance from their lord. These are the successful. As for the disbelievers, whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not. Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.”  Quran; 2:2 to 2:7

Here's Muhammed's own words and words from their Holy texts:\nQur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”\nIshaq:240  “The Jews are a nation of liars.... The Jews are a treacherous, lying, and evil people.” \nQur’an 5:17 “Verily they are disbelievers and infidels who say, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary, is God.’”\n\nThey'll eventually take the products:\nTabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511  “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.” \n\n I've actually read the Koran. Have you? Here's a good place to start, then go to the second site, download a copy of the Koran, and read the quotes in contexts:\n\n Quotes by Muhammed in his own words:\nhttp://www.prophetofdoom.net\n go to the html version of the online book of the same name, go to the bottom of the index, read the quotes that interest you. Here are some of the topics:I. Fighting ° Terrorism ° War ° Jihad ° Martyrs/Mercenaries ° Muslim Militants\n\n II. Murder ° Torture ° Thievery & Slavery ° Peace, Islam Style ° Peaceful Muslims \n No Freedom, No Choice ° Deception ° Intolerance\n\n III.

But they are in desperate need of a reformation, and they won't do it unless pressured to.

I got this from the link mentioned in the source. Please read the whole article there\n\n\nIn the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate \n\n02.153 “O you who believe! Seek help in steadfastness and prayer. Lo! Allah is with the steadfast.” \n\n\nAl-Haakim reported in al-Mustadrak, and al-Tabaraani reported in al-Mu’jam, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Faith wears out in the heart of any one of you just as clothes wear out, so ask Allaah to renew the faith in your hearts.” (Reported by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak, 1/4; Al-Haythami said in Majma’ al-Zawaa’id, 1/52, “It was reported by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer and its isnaad is saheeh.”)

I read it.  I also read the koran and the bible.  That article is crap.  Lies.  The koran says over and over to kill non-believers.  It says to cut their heads off, cut off their fingers and toes.  And muslims read it and believe it.  Islam is the religion of Satan.

"Be it that, you warn them or not warn them, it will be the same to them -- they will not believe."...Surah-al-Bakara, Qur'aan.\n\n"Recite: Oh, Disbelievers!  I do not serve that which you serve nor, do you serve Him who I serve.  I do not worship that which you worship nor, do you worship Him who I worship.  To you, your religion; to me, mine."...Surah-al-Kafirun, Qur'aan.\n\nMy Response to the Question: "Because they do NOT wish to understand since, they have ALREADY made-up their own CONCLUSION about Islam."

No! this verse refer to those who are attacking muslims unfairly and give them hard time. if you continue reading the next verse (90) you will understand.\n\nQuran 4:(89, 90)\n[89] They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of God (to Muhammad (peace be upon him)) But if they turn back (from Islâm), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them. \n\n[90] "Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had God willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then God has opened no way for you against them." \n\n\nalso in this verse it explains even more\nQuran 2:190\n\n"And fight in the Way of God those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, God does not love the transgressors."

It's a verse from the Koran (Quran).  Specifically, it's verse 5:110, and is one of many concerning the life and death of Jesus which may be found in its pages.\n\nMight do Christians and Muslims a bit of good to remember that not only do they both worship the same God, but both of their Holy books venerate the teachings of a man who would have wept to see them fighting.

Some teens at my church went to ATF and I heard some of it. I agree there is a battle and it's not getting any better, but it's also not new. The war has been raging since the beginning, but by no means does that make it any less serious now. Just as those before us, we are called to fight the good fight. \n\nEph 6:12\n"For our struggle is not agianst flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms."\n\nEph. 6:17-18\n"Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. WIth this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

I am a Muslim and i TOTALLY disagree with attacks on civilians.Killing civilians is totally not allowed in Islam so those who do it are mislead and i even doubt it if they are Muslims at all.A teaching in our holy book goes like this TO KILL EVEN A SINGLE INNOCENT MAN IS EQUIVALENT TO KILLING THE WHOLE HUMANITY.So those with little knowledge about our religion should enlighten themselves before reaching to any conclusions.

I UNCONDITIONALLY CONDEMN the people who did these actions, Islam is a religion for the good of people. They're not Muslims, but mad people who interpret Qur'anic texts at their desires.\nNoble Qur'an's say on this:\n\nAl-Baqara 2:224  " And make not God's name an excuse in your oaths to not making good and acting piously, and making PEACE in mankind.."\n\nAl-Nisa 4:90 "....So if they withdraw from you and fight not against you, and offered you PEACE, then God opened NO WAY for you AGAINST them"\n\nAl-Hijr 15:52 "When they entered unto him, they said "Peace!" "\n\nAl-Qassas 28:55 "And when they (The pious) here the vain talk, they withdraw from it and say: "To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. PEACE  be to you, we seek not the ignorant"\n\nAl-Hujurat 49: 9 " And if two groups or parties among believers fall to fighting, then make PEACE between them.."\n\nAnd many more!!

I guess the concept of self defense can be expressed with one sentence. So I am not sure why the Quran needs to ramble on about war and violence ad naseum? Maybe its not about self defense.
