It is a command to kill 'infidels' period.
It still stands.
Here you go, this one gets used to excuse terroorism:
005.033
YUSUFALI: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
PICKTHAL: The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;
SHAKIR: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement,
Here you go, Quran commands you to cut off heads of unbelievers:
047.004
YUSUFALI: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
PICKTHAL: Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.
SHAKIR: So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them, but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish.
Quran commands to fight and kill until there is only islam:
002.193
YUSUFALI: And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression.
PICKTHAL: And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers.
SHAKIR: And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.

Can I read Alexander Hislop, Keith Green, E.H.Broadbent, Dave Hunt or any the unabridged historians? Or am I to adhere to the Popes list?
Can I read the witness from a man my age who remembers the steel cages hanging outside the (I think) Cologne Cathedreal in which Christians were left to freeze or starve to death?
If it weren't for people like these and especially Jack Chick, the Jesuits would have that histpory of the Whore's shame completely expiurgated by now.
Don't be brainwashed.
""God said it, I believe it, that settles it." And he DID say it. "If you do not eat my body and drink my blood, you shall have no life in you." John 6:53"
Then he said "The flesh profiteth nothing; it is the spirit that giveth life"
Scripture quoted out of context has defended many a cult.
Humans were NOT created to do this sort of thing to their children. Even animals have a natural born instinct to protect their own children, so that's proof that they are NOT human. They are the sons of Satan and are twisted, perverted, and demonic creatures!
No,

You're half right. When Christians do evil, it is because they are acting contrary to the example of Christ. When muslims do evil, however, it's because they are acting in accordance with the example of Mohammed. Osama is the true muslim, not the so-called moderate ones.
Ammar, you are lying.
Any who can read can see that.
Why are being false?
Sorry mate, you're lying.
So basically what you are saying that out of context, that many passages from the Koran, or Bible for that matter, can read pretty horrifically?
That's a rhetorical question BTW, I know what you're trying to say.
