What is the Islamic goal behind our relationship with Non-Muslims?

[Faith Hope Charity]

Again you are taking verses out of context… a n d you are making the same claim that CC (your fellow Christian) made sometimes ago… so here is my answer.

I stand by my "claim". Your apologetic's explanation implies that the Ayat is outdated & no longer valid. Of course this is not the case because as a Muslim, you must believe that the Qur'an is timeless. That command applies today just as much as it did 1500 years ago.

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


<b>"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."[</b>Al-Qur’an 9:6]

If only it stopped there! Unfortunately, the dream turns into a nightmare in the next few Ayats.

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

I totally agree that Islam is a peaceful religion... but only if you are a Muslim!!!


Wael, generally speaking, I know how you feel about this issue & you know how I feel. It is pointless to keep coming back to it. I have read Muslimah's thread on apostasy & jihad & quite frankly, unless certain Ayats miraculously disappear from every copy of the Qur'an, you & I will never see eye to eye. I'm letting it go, man, because it is just too devastating. I cannot blame you because you are simply trying to obey Allah's command & do what you think is right. I am just grateful that the majority of Muslims in the West have traded in these Ayats for the UDHR. Insh a Allah, more Muslims will jump on board too. If not, then I will stash some money away in case I have to pay jaziya down the track. So be it! Jesus lives in my heart!

By dying on the Cross? i dont believe that this is a victory...

I am not surprised ;)


It is way past my bedtime :sleep2:
