[QUOTE="newfie, post: 4176816, member: 58700"] i often get irratated when non believers try to misquote the bible to suit an argument or to mock the bible. radicalized islamists misquote the quran to jusitify their beliefs. most muslims are peace loving people who only believe in attacking non-believers when they theirselves are attacked. [I]The fundamental Quranic principle is that fighting is allowed only in self-defense, and it is only against those who actively fight against you. Indeed, Islam is a religion that seeks to maximize peace and reconciliation. Yet, Islam is not a pacifist religion; it does accept the premise that, from time to time and as a last resort, arms must be taken up in a just war. If the enemy inclines toward peace, however, Muslims must follow suit: “But if they stop, God is most forgiving, most merciful” (2:192). Also read: “Now if they incline toward peace, then incline to it, and place your trust in God, for God is the all-hearing, the all-knowing” (8:61).
