So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them.\n\nDoes this sanction killing anyone that does not believe in Allah?

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."

Not all muslim scholors agree that there is death for apostacy in Islam. It is actually going against freedom of religion given in the Quran .\n\nWhat Quran says about those leaving faith\n"O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- " Quran 5: 54. \n\n"Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them nor guide them on the way." Quran 4:137. \n\nQuran only says he will not be forgiven and will not be guided if he repeatedly believes and disbelieve. How can a person repeatedly disbelieve if there is death for apostasy ?

Quran is not saying at aaaaaaaaall in any of its verses to kill non Muslims or those who doesn't believe in Allah , in these verses , it's very appealing that every body has the full right to believe in any religion: \n\n [109:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful \n\n[109:1] Say, "O you disbelievers. \n\n[109:2] "I do not worship what you worship. \n\n[109:3] "Nor do you worship what I worship. \n\n[109:4] "Nor will I ever worship what you worship. \n\n[109:5] "Nor will you ever worship what I worship. \n\n[109:6] "To you is your religion, and to me is my religion." \n\nAnd to make sure , Here's a translation of the Quran in English , hope it helps  : http://www.submission.org/Q-T.html

God is our creator, he is the giver of life, and he alone has the right to end it. Suicide is forbidden in Islam; this sin is listed among the "enormities" in Reliance of the Traveller, a manual of Sharia in the tradition of Imam Shafi'i. \n\nThose who committed suicide ... \n\n\nto be roasted in a fire, \n\nDo not kill yourselves, for Allah is compassionate towards you. Whoever does so, in transgression and wrongfully, We shall roast in a fire, and that is an easy matter for Allah. (an-Nisaa 4:29-30) \n\nforbidden Paradise, \n\nNarrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak:\nThe Prophet said, "Whoever intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he has said, (e.g. if he says, 'If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,' he is really a Jew). And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same piece of iron in the Hell Fire." Narrated Jundab the Prophet said, "A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him." (Sahih Bukhari 2.445) \n\nwill be punished in hell by whatever used for suicide, \nNarrated Abu Huraira:\nThe Prophet said, "He who commits suicide by throttling shall keep on throttling himself in the Hell Fire (forever) and he who commits suicide by stabbing himself shall keep on stabbing himself in the Hell-Fire." (Sahih Bukhari 2.446, 2.445)

It's a way of insulting someone.  Same for when you disagree for them and they say they'll pray for you.  It's a direct insult to you and you should take it as such.  \n\nThey have no proof, but they are willing to worship a god who will condemn you and your family to eternal torture if you are not "born again", yet they claim they don't understand why that is offensive.  \n\nThe answer is that they know exactly what they are doing.  They are insulting you and trying to hide behind the fact that you will "respect their religion" and not hold them accountable for the outrageous and insulting things they say and their evil wishes that they have for your and others like you if you don't bend to their belief system.\n\nMy advice is when someone says they will "pray for you" after a religious argument or discussion, say, "Oh please don't, I don't want God to think we're friends."\n\nI have to respond to the comment that "If you don't like someone, you can still love them."  That is a load of crap.  The reason it's hard to love your neighbor is that you have to like them too.  Christ wasn't passive-agressive, and neither should his followers be.

I'm with Tcat on this one.  Maybe he shouldn't be given a burial in accordance with Muslim Law (Jordan won't even take his body), but he definitely shouldn't be desecrated.  What kind of message does that send to Iraqis about their "liberators"?

Well, first of all I wanna make some things clear.\n\nsomeone here said that the devil has led them away from jesus by tempting them. now, the DEVIL makes people sin right? now, why should the devil lead them to islam? in islam we respect jesus as our prophet, we even have on e whole verse for marriam (or mary). what is so satanic about that? isnt sex a sin in christianity? then why are most of them from "good christian families" doing it so openly? \n"CONVERT OR DIE"? theres no such things. Our prophet mohamed (p.b.u.h) respected the non-muslims, and didnt force them. in our holy book theres a verse that goes " ...you go your way, and we go ours..".\n whos gonna kill these people if they dont convert? your just saying these dumb things to cover up ur insecurity\n\npeople convert to islam, beacause they have found the truth for themselves.\n\nthe reason that people attack this fact buy saying the devil this and that is because they are insecure.\n\nread harun yahya, mauriche bucilles and ahmad deedats books.\nkeep an open mind and read these books before you say this and that.\n\nso far, i have never heard of a muslim converting to any religion and preaching.\n\nOverall, i think its best we stop attacking each other, and learn to respect each other. religion is somthing for yourself, what you believe is sacred in your heart. so the more you question the more you try to make excuses it means youre insecure. peace

It was an encouragement passage for those who were persecuted because of their faith in God.\n\nand no, Christians are not terrorists. People use religion to gain approval for their policial actions through out the age. \n\nI disagree with the war in Iraq. We should not kill. And although the terrorists might be Muslims, but we cannot blame the whole Muslim population. Because we know that Muslim teaches their people not to kill, to be peaceful with everyone, etc \nChristian and Muslim are actually sisters! - Both came from the same Jewish History (But Muslim's ancestor was Ishmael instead of Isaac [Arab descendants]).

5:51 & 9:29 "against"\n5:82 & 2:62  "respect"\n\nWhat makes muslims decide how to treat those of other faiths depends on whether they have read the entire Qur'an in context, and understand it's meaning, or whether they follow the lead of haters without understanding. This can happen in any faith.

I got the joke... it's not all bad.\n\nBut I don't know if it is such a good idea to joke about this. It may seem strange to us today that there should be ANY limit on free speech. But this is THE BOTTOM to push if one wish to engage a Muslim in a death dual.\n\nThe law of their religion is full of sins punishable by death. Not unlike our religion BTW. The difference is that, they still feel obligated to carry out that punishment.

it's quite strange.  on the one hand the law worked and the guy that was calling for non muslims to be beheaded was convicted.  on the other hand, they failed to convict the bnp guy for the milder ( though still ignorant ) insults about islam that he was making.  so now they are talking about making the laws tougher so that he too would be convicted.  well, i am a bit suspicious about that and would tend to want to resist it like most comedians want to.  a belief should be strong enough to withstand free speech.

hello...may you read that please..........\nAssalamu Alaikum. Please read this opinion on apostacy from a major Islamic scholar.\n\nShah Abdul Hannan\n\n            Fatwa Question Details \n            Name Hossam  \n            Title  Should an Apostate Be Put to Death? \n            Question Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. Is it true that in Islam a person must be put to death if he or she converts to another religion? Jazakum Allahu khayran.\n           \n            Date 27/Mar/2006 \n            Mufti Ahmad Kutty \n            Topic Apostasy \n            Answer \n            Wa`alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.\n\n            In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.\n\n            All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.\n\n            Dear brother in Islam, thanks a lot for your question, which reflects your care to have a clear view of the teachings of Islam. Allah commands Muslims to refer to knowledgeable people to learn more about the teachings of Islam.\n\n            It is absurd for anyone to suggest that Islam advocates killing people who choose to leave Islam. To kill anyone who chooses to follow a religion other than Islam is against the fundamental teachings of the Qur'an. Freedom of conscience is a fundamental principle of the Qur'an that is clearly stated. Thus, if apostates cause no harm to the Muslim community and do not call for spreading hostility towards Islam, they should not to be punished; rather they should be advised kindly and wisely to learn the truth about Islam.\n\n            In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states the following:\n\n            Freedom of conscience is one of the fundamental rights of humans enshrined in the Qur'an; it is therefore, absurd for anyone to suggest that Islam allows putting people to death just because they convert to another religion.\n\n            Even a casual reader of the Qur'an will not fail to be impressed by its emphasis on the freedom of conscience as a cornerstone of its moral structure. To cite a few verses as follows:\n\n            [There shall be no compulsion in religion. Distinct has now become the right way from [the wayof] error: hence, he who rejects the powers of evil and believes in God has indeed taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way: for God is all-hearing, all-knowing] ( Al-Baqarah 2:256)\n\n            [If it had been your Lord's will, all who are in the earth would have believed. Will you, then, force the people to become believers?] (Yunus 10:99)\n\n            [And if they surrender themselves unto Him (i.e. God), they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty (O Muhammad,) is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.] (Aal `Imran 3:20)\n\n            [Hence, pay heed unto God, and pay heed unto the Messenger, and be ever on your guard [against evil]; and if you turn away, then know that Our Messenger's only duty is a clear delivery of the message [entrusted to him].] (Al-Ma'idah 5:92)\n\n            [But if they turn away [from thee, O Prophet, know that] Wehave not sent thee to be their keeper: thou art not bound to do more than deliver the message [entrusted to thee] .] (Ash-Shura 42:48)\n\n            I should further state that all of the moral teachings of the Qur'an are based on the notion of moral responsibility, which entails the freedom of choice. Therefore, to state that one must be put to death for choosing to disbelieve would only undermine the entire moral edifice of the Qur'an.\n\n            Furthermore, the Qur'an does not allow anyone to harm those who are leaving in peace, no matter what religion they hold on to. This principle has been clearly stated in the Qur'an as follows:\n\n

Salamu Alaykum,\nMy advice to you is to depend on Allah, Put your full trust in Allah. For Allah Says in the Quran\n"If a suggestion from satan assail thy (mind), seek refuge with Allah. for He heareth and knoweth (all things)."(Ch7 V.200)  \nThe last two Chapters(113&114) in the Quran if Recited help to ward off evil and in Ch.2 V.255. Reciting these with sincerity to Allah should ward off evil. \n\nAllah also says in the Quran:\n"O ye who believe! follow not satan's footsteps: if any will follow the footsteps of satan, he will (but) command what is shameful and wrong: and were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you would ever have been pure: but Allah doth purify whom He pleases: and Allah is One Who hears and knows (all things)." (Ch.24 V.21)\n \nDo not let Satan trick you play with your mind just ignore the thoughts which are bad. A muslim does not get accounted for Bad thoughts. Do not take it to hard on yourself for having Bad thoughts it happens to most muslims. You should never let this lead to suicide then satan would have achieved his goal. Any time you have bad thoughts About Allah rember Allah says"He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means does He multiply you: there is Nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things)."\n(  سورة الشورى  , Ash-Shura, Chapter #42, Verse #11)\n\n"There is Nothing Whatever like unto Him" This shows us that there is nothing even close to comparison to Allah so anytime you have a bad thought about Allah remember that the thought cant be Allah cause "There is Nothing Whatever like unto Him" and just wipe that thought out/ignore it.\n\nAnother thing you could do is to gain Knowledge about ISlam the more you learn the less doors Shaytan has to attack you with.\n\nAlso you should not say "my Allah or my Religion" because Allah doesnt belong to us but we(mankind&Jinn) belong to Allah and to Him is our return. The religion of Islam is also for everybody. Maybe you did not mean to say this in the way i interpreted It but just in case.\n\nInshaAllah this information has been Helpful if I said Anything Good it is from the Grace Of ALLAH and if Said anything wrong it is from myself.\n                   Salamu Alaykum WaRahmatuAllahi WaBarakatu

Welcome  !!!\n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 6 (Al-An`am), Verse:126\n \n[6:126] So, whomsoever God intends to guide, He expands his bosom for the acceptance of Islam; and whomsoever He intends that he should go astray, He makes his bosom narrow and close, as though he was mounting up into the skies. Thus does God inflict punishment on those who do not believe. \n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 3 (Al-`Imran), Verse:20\n \n[3:20] Surely, the true religion with God  is Islam. And those who were given the Book did not disagree but, after knowledge had come to them, out of mutual envy. And whoso denies the Signs of God , then surely, God  is quick at reckoning. \n\nThe Holy Quran : Chapter: 39 (Al-Zumar), Verse:23\n \n[39:23] Is he then whose bosom God  has opened for the acceptance of Islam, so that he possesses a light from his Lord, like him who is grouping in the darkness of disbelief? Woe, then, to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of God ! They are in manifest error. \n\nPeace

It lies in the interpretation of the texts by people.  I do not think that Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha or any of the Hindi deities said it is OK to go out and kill the innocents.  It is people who are manipulating the religions for their own benefits.  Cowards.
