Answer 1

Pro Active said it right

Answer 2

Yes all non muslims must be killed

2:190.  

And fight in the Way of Allâh[] those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihâd, but it was supplemented by another (V.9:36)].

2:191.  

And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah[] is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (the sanctuary at Makkah),[] unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

2:192.  

But if they cease, then Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

2:193.  

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allâh) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allâh (Alone).[] But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zâlimûn (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)

Answer 3

Thank goodness a lot of Muslims today are influenced by peaceful, civilized western societies. Muhammed founded Islam to accommodate a 7th century uncivilized, violent culture.

A lot of Muslims in this current age are in denial that Islam cannot fit in with modern, advanced, peaceful seeking societies.

It is good to consider all empirical sources of evidence about Islam and come to your own educated conclusion.

You can find out some revealing information about Muhammed from this site, http://www.contenderministries.org/islam...  

Instead of hearing biased rationale you should read the Quran for yourself and see what kind of "context" the violence comes from. Here are just a few verses for you to peruse,

Sura 4:89: "They (infidels) desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper."

Sura 8:12: "Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers;"

Sura 2:191: "... kill the disbelievers wherever we find them …"

Sura 22:19-22: "… for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods."

Sura 8:12: "Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: 'I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.'"

Sura 8:7: "Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: 'Wipe the infidels out to the last.'"

Sura 8:59: "The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah's enemy."

Sura 8:60: "Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah, and others besides them not known to you."

Sura 9.29" "Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."

Sura 47:4: "Strike off the heads of the disbelievers" and, after making a "wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives."

Hadith Sahih Muslim (41:6985): "Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: 'The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.'"

Sura 9:5: "When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, torture them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."

Sura 3:151: "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers for that they joined companions with Allah for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the fire; and evil is the home of the wrong-doers!"

Sura 8:60: "Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power including steeds of war to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides whom ye may not know but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

Here is a Yahoo answers question that Muslims admit that the penalty for leaving Islam is death. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 7

when the Quran was presented to our Prophet, the violence parts are Allah speaking to our Prophet, during the battles that our Prophet faced

they arent the teachings of today's life, if it was...why dont we see the 2 billion Muslims slaughtering all the non-Muslims?

Answer 8

Not true. Been Muslim for 8 years.

Answer 9

Ur friend is trying to mislead you and wants to spread falsehood.

ch :5 v32.If anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.

"Let there be no compulsion in religion:

Truth stands out clear from error"

[Al-Qur’an 2:256]

Blood Money (Ad-Diyat) [83:10] Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "The biggest of Al-Kaba'ir (the great sins) are (1) to join others as partners in worship with Allah, (2) to murder a human being, (3) to be undutiful to one's parents (4) and to make a false statement," or said, "to give a false witness."

*"The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed [killing and injuring] "-Mohammad,Narrated in Saheeh Muslim, #1678, and Saheeh Al-Bukhari, #6533.

Now i will give example of how people try to mislead other.

A few selected verses from the Qur’an are often misquoted to perpetuate the myth that Islam promotes violence, and exhorts its followers to kill those outside the pale of Islam.

1.    Verse from Surah Taubah

The following verse from Surah Taubah is very often quoted by critics of Islam, to show that Islam promotes violence, bloodshed and brutality:

"Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar) where ever you find them."

[Al-Qur’an 9:5]

2.    Context of verse is during battlefield

Critics of Islam actually quote this verse out of context. In order to understand the context, we need to read from verse 1 of this surah. It says that there was a peace treaty between the Muslims and the Mushriqs (pagans) of Makkah. This treaty was violated by the Mushriqs of Makkah. A period of four months was given to the Mushriqs of Makkah to make amends. Otherwise war would be declared against them. Verse 5 of Surah Taubah says:

"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is oft-forgiving, Most merciful."

[Al-Qur’an 9:5]

This verse is quoted during a battle.

3.    Example of war between America and Vietnam

We know that America was once at war with Vietnam. Suppose the President of America or the General of the American Army told the American soldiers during the war: "Wherever you find the Vietnamese, kill them". Today if I say that the American President said, "Wherever you find Vietnamese, kill them" without giving the context, I will make him sound like a butcher. But if I quote him in context, that he said it during a war, it will sound very logical, as he was trying to boost the morale of the American soldiers during the war.

4.     Verse 9:5 quoted to boost morale of Muslims during battle

Similarly in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 the Qur’an says, "Kill the Mushriqs where ever you find them", during a battle to boost the morale of the Muslim soldiers. What the Qur’an is telling Muslim soldiers is, don’t be afraid during battle; wherever you find the enemies kill them.

5.    Shourie jumps from verse 5 to verse 7

Arun Shourie is one of the staunchest critics of Islam in India. He quotes the same verse, Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 in his book ‘The World of Fatwahs’, on page 572. After quoting verse 5 he jumps to verse 7 of Surah Taubah. Any sensible person will realise that he has skipped verse 6.

6.    Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer

Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer to the allegation that Islam promotes violence, brutality and bloodshed. It says:

"If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum,grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure that is because they are men without knowledge."

[Al-Qur’an 9:6]

The Qur’an not only says that a Mushriq seeking asylum during the battle should be granted refuge, but also that he should be escorted to a secure place. In the present international scenario, even a kind, peace-loving army General, during a battle, may let the enemy soldiers go free, if they want peace. But which army General will ever tell his soldiers, that if the enemy soldiers want peace during a battle, don’t just let them go free, but also escort them to a place of security?

This is exactly what Allah (swt) says in the Glorious Qur’an to promote peace in the world.

Answer 10

Very convenient verse used by Muslims through out history to loot and plunder in the name of Islam.

U have something I want badly. I cannot justify snatching it from u if I accept that u are  a Good person. The only recourse I have is to declare u an Infidel, fight with u and grab yr land , wealth and slave girls. To Pro -active

They have tried but reverted back to explaining the "True Islam" after getting whacked hard in all the countries.

Answer 11

Well i don't have the verses on hand.  

I always tell people YES, thsoe words, to some extent, are there.  

But the quran is a book...so the lines before matter.  

And basically it says, when the infidels attack you, if you can't find a peaceful resolution...then go and attack them.  

So its not saying to kill the infidels for being infidels....it says to kill them if they try to kill you.   And again, only the ones that are attacking you.  

Might not be "politically correct" by todays standards.  

We are told that killing is a sin, but this is showing that you have to defend yourself because you also have a right to live.  

Answer 12

It's good that you asked this question so we can clear some misconceptions people have about Islam.

The verse that some people claim that says that muslims are allowed to kill infidels are taken by some out of context.  First of all muslims were persecuted so God was encouraging them to defend themselves.  Muslims are only allowed to defend themselves when someone attacks them.  

This is often taken out of context however here is the full verse

“Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but initiate not aggression. Verily God loveth not aggressors. And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places wherefrom they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Sacred Mosque until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there), then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers. But if they desist, then verily God is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them until there is no more persecution, and religion is for God. But if they desist, let there be no hostility except against the wrongdoers.” [Baqarah (2): 190-193]

You can also read the historical context for the verses above

http://www.soundvision.com/info/peace/qu...

--------------------------------------...

Here are some more verses that says that muslims should respect everyone and force no one into believing into anything.

“There is no compulsion in religion.” [Baqarah (2): 256] … “And if thy Lord had willed, verily all who are in the earth would have believed together. Wouldst thou (O Muhammad) then force them till they become believers?” [Yunus (10): 99]

“Say:  Ã¢Â€Â˜O disbelievers! I worship not that which ye worship; nor ye worship that which I worship. And I will not worship that which ye worship; nor will ye worship that which I worship. Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.” [Kafirun (109): 1-6]

“We are best aware of what they say, and thou (O Muhammad) art in no way a compeller over them. But warn them by the Quran him who feareth My threat.” [Kahf (50): 45] … “Therefore do thou remind, for thou art only to remind. Thou art not at all a watchman over them.” [Gashiya (88): 21-22]

“For each of you We have prescribed a law and a way. Had God willed He could have made you one community, but that he may try you by that which He hath given you. So vie ye one with another in good works.” [Maidah (5): 48]

--------------------------------------...

EDIT  TROOPER- .  There are peole on yahoo answers who pose as muslims and aren't actually muslims.  

According to our religion no one is to be killed for leaving his/her religion in Islam.  It is live and let live, kiling ANYONE (infidels,homosexuals, a muslims who became an atheist or converted to another religion you name it is a sin) only God has the right to take a life.   As mentioned before we are only allowed to kill to defend ourselves FULLSTOP.

Trooper you did two things.:

1) You recited verses from the quran that warns about how   God will punish the disbelivers .

All Abrahamic religions say that the rejecters of faith will burn in h**l (it's all pretty painful)and that they will get punished so this is not only Islam.  So may just as well point your fingers at all religions. You'll find the same things in the Torah and the Bible.  If you are not a believer why bother in the first place how God will punish or not punish non belivers

2)Now like all muslim bashers you are taking things out of context and also out of historical context. so i'll get you the whole verses

Explanation to surah 4 verses 71-91)  The Belivers should organiz in self-defence against their enemies, adn bewars of the secret plots and mischiefs of the Hyporcrites; how deserters should be treated. So this explanation also applies to the verses recited below .  

                                            

  4:88-91 Why should ye be divided into two parties about the Hypocrites? Allah hath upset them for their (evil) deeds. Would ye guide those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way? For those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way, never shalt thou find the Way. They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): so take not friends from their ranks until they forsake the domain of evil in the way of God (from what is forbidden). But if they revert to [open] enmity, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case). Take no helpers from their ranks. Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (Of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people.

Why do muslim bashers leave surah and verses in the quran out that condemn murder??? Like this one.  They cherry pick and say this means this and this means that the truth is they don't have a clue they dont' read the quran to understand but attack.

6:151 Take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus does He command you, that ye may learn wisdom. 17:33 Nor take life, which God has made sacred, except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, We have given his heir authority (to demand Qisas(retribution) or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the law) 5:32...if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people

Trooper this is not what surah 8:7 says. Here is surah

( 8:7)And God promises you that one of the two parties will be defeated by you; and you wish that the one least armed be the one. But God wishes that the truth be manifest with His words, and that He eliminates the remnant of the rejecters.

Answer 13

It is a big lie and false propaganda of the enemies of Islam.

Western media being the enemy of Islam use a sentence of Quran out of context  though that was to destroy the Idolators of Mecca who were  enemies of Prophet and his companions and were trying to kill Prophet and all Muslims for 23 years  ever since Prophet Mohammad declared his Prophet hood.

It is not a permanent command of Allah in Quran to kill all infidels of this world.  Under Muslim Empire millions of Christians and Jews and Hindus did live for centuries under legal protection of Islm for the minorities. Jews prospered more under Muslim rule in Spain.

When Jews lived under the rule of Christians they were often mass murdered,  But Jews are so ungrateful people that in last 60 years they have massacred more than million Palestinian Muslims under Jewish rule in Israel like Palestinian Muslims  are animals and not worth the life.
