firstly im not one for proving anything, that would be boring if some1 knew all the answers.
firstly
the verse before which quote?
secondly
im happy to be proven wrong, and no i havent read the whole qu'ran, i worked in a regilious book shop and read different bits and pieces, mostly bits i had pointed towards, actually by a muslim trying to make me understand what he believed was acceptable, im not trying pretend i know the whole story,
but your accusing me off is twisting what your book means, im not
im sayin that these parts do exist and extremists all over the world including are own country twist them to encourage terrorism.
u could and probably are a perfectly rational man who has know intention of kill urself or others with you, BUT there ARE people FACT that use the same book and extract words and phrases to bring about terrorism.
"Slay them wherver you find them
seek your enemies relentlessly
fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it.
if you die or be slain in the cause of god, his forgiveness and his mercy would surely be better than all the riches."
That above is a verse from the Qur'an and the verse directly before it is connected to it and this verse explains that when you are engaged in war that it is correct for you to kill the enemy (infidels).
I have read this quote many times online and people seem to gather the opinion that it means the average person walking down the street or doing their shopping.
I'm sorry if it sounded like i was accusing you but i was accusing those websites which have these verses taken out of context and have created their own opinions from.
And whoever was pointing towards this quote really should have pointed to the 2-3 verses before it as those explain that these verses are all rules to be followed during the act of war.
I'm just trying to clear up that meaning of the verse and theres lots more i should add but that would mean going in depth but i guess you get what I'm saying here.
Also before i wrap up anyone remember the dispatches episode about the mosques (cant remember the name of that episode)? Well channel 4 gave the entire 150hrs of footage to the metropolitan police that was taken in context and cut short into one single episode.
The police came to the conclusion that all the clips were taken into context and that there was nothing they could prosecute on. Now that goes to show how much the media tries to twist it.
