[Mod: Split topic from Politics forum - as a distinct topic]
I asked for one verse, not a whole book!
Can you show me a verse which contradicts "kill nonbelievers"?

Simple answer, practicing other religions!
shafique wrote:'Those who fight you' does not equal 'all non-Muslims'.
kanelli wrote:Melika, people who are looking for an excuse to kill those who don't believe in Islam would pick out this passage. But it says "those who fight you" which is not people just going about their business practicing another faith.
Waging war against Allah
Does the Koran not say for muslims to be tolerant of other religions? Does it not recognise the Christians and Jews and their Holy books? I think you'll find it does. Practicing another religion is not waging war on Islam and Muslims. All religions at their basic root teach exactly the same thing.
It's people who read what they want to into things that are the problem today.

But we are straying from the point - the Quran does not have any verse which says that ALL non-Muslims should be killed. I think this central fact is now clear.
Other beliefs/myths about spreading the faith by the sword etc can be dealt with in other threads.
Cheers,
