Those quotes from the Qu'ran posted by "WarriorofChrist" are quite scary.
What place do these quotes have in the modern life of a Muslim?
If the Qu'ran itsself is specifically saying such things, why would they apply *only* to Fundamentalist Muslims? Why would they not apply to regular Muslims?
"9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
Does this mean you must fight us Christians? (People of the Book)
"3:28, Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah
Does this mean Muslims cannot have Christian friends?
Are these verses applicable today? Please help me understand. I am very confused.
