[Born in a Rage]

While encouraging Muslims to struggle against injustice (Al Quran 4:135), Allah also imposes strict rules of engagement. He says in unequivocal terms that to kill an innocent being is like killing entire humanity (Al Quran 5:32). He also encourages Muslims to forgive Jews and Christians if they have committed injustices against us (Al Quran 2:109, 3:159, 5:85).

I think these 'examples that the author provided are misleading....for one, how does the Quran define an "innocent"? The so-called "unbeleivers" in the Quran are not "innocent". As a matter of fact, there is a passage with says that the "unbelievers" are the "vilest of animals" and that Allah would have made them able to see and hear (the word of Allah) except that he didn't 'give' that 'gift' to them because they are evil.

From the Quran:

Surah III
151. For we will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.

Surah IV
89. If they turn back, seize them and kill them wherever you find them.

Surah V
Do not take the Jews and Christians for friends, they are friends of each other....

Surah IX
5. So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush

Any SURAH that says that Jews and Christians are friends with each other didn't well anticipate the history *I* have read. I still think we are not being true friends to Israel. Western Civ has done nothing but use and abuse the Jews.

Thanks for posting this--I too missed it first time around. Am flagging my spouse and others.
