Good question. Rudeboy asserted that I had taken the Koran's passages, which call for warfare against unbelievers, out of context.
but why dont u paste the whole of the passage instead of just pasting bits from here and there
To my knowledge, I had posted the Koranic passages in their whole, however, rudeboy seems to indicate that I have only partially pasted the violent verses and that the remaining verse actually does not promote what the plain meaning of the verses seem to command.
I have yet to see rudeboy respond in this thread, so the ball is really in his court now.
And as far as I can tell, the surrounding verses from the passage I quoted from (context) do not provide any different interpretation either. It would be interesting to note whether or not Islam and the Koran teach Muslims to wage wars and carry out terrorist attacks (3:151) or if Islam is really the religion of peace and I've simply read bad translations of the Koran.
Freefromrats, if your concious is pure and clean and you do not have a anti-islam agenda, I suggest you read the Quran yourself and then you read the correct translations of the Quran.
I would luv to sit here and proove you wrong. But honestly speaking I dont have the time and in my opinion ppl who have already made their mind up that they will hate Islam from day one, are not willing to learn about Islam. In fact they want to come on the forum and just spread hate and anger towards islam.
If you truely want to learn and understand Islam you should read the whole Quran from the first chapter rather then reading it from here and there.
In short Islam is the religion of peace. In the Middle East, Christians, Hindus, Etc live Peacefully amongst Muslims. If Islam was all about Jihad then dont you think christians minorities would have been wiped out from countries such as lebanon, jordan, syria, kuwait, Iraq etc?
Even in the western world you have muslims living amongst ppl of other religions. Do you see Muslims killing hindus or Christians on the roads of London or New York? If Islam was all about Jihad, dont you think UK would be in a bloodbath right now?
Like I said read the Quran and read its true translations. You have visited some websites which are anti-islam and you have posted their translations.
If you want to learn about Islam and the Quran, I will be more then willing to help you. But this is only if from day one your mind and your hearth is pure & clean and you dont have any other agendas.
so the ball is in your court now
