Re: Freedom of Religion
Where in the Quoran does it say "kill the infidel wherever you find him". It doesn't come up in Ocean. Thanks Mike S 9:5. But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. S. 9:5 must be read in its context, the Pagans broke the peace treaty and attempted to expel the Prophet Muhammad from Medina. Sura 9:13 explains this: S 9.13. Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and took the aggressive by being the first (to assault) you? Do ye fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom ye should more justly fear, if ye believe! Here are some Ayat's that put certain questionable commands to kill in perspective: S. 60:8 Allah does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable. S. 4:90 Therefore, if they leave you alone, refrain from fighting you, and offer you peace, then Allah gives you no excuse to fight them. S. 8:61 If they resort to peace, so shall you, and put your trust in GOD. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient. __ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Freedom of Religion
Read the ninth Chapter of the Quran, Michael. I think is should be there.

Dear Susan, Where in the Quoran does it say "kill the infidel wherever you find him". It doesn't come up in Ocean. Thanks Mike - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Baha'i Studies Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 6:27 AM Subject: Re: Freedom of Religion In a message dated 6/15/2004 9:44:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does this mean that some Muslims believe that human understandingis more authoritative than the Qur'an? If they believe that any verse of theQur'an can be abrogated because of worldly circumstance, then they believethat all verses of the Qur'an are subject to abrogation, based on human interpretation.Dear Tim, That is certainly not what they would say they were doing. What they do is take the verse "kill the infidel wherever you find him" which was revealed later, as abrogating "let there be no compulsion in religion." But let me stress, only some Muslims do this. warmest, Susan __ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] __ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
