... I realy don't know where you get your information from but it was deffinitely not from the Holy Quraan!

When people like yourself start Quoting the Holy Quraan totaly out of context and use your own words or the extracted words from some other Islam hater then you tend to mis-inform and confuse a potentialy sincere seeker of the truth.

Here is your false quote that you say is from the Holy Quraan:

"Kill the Jews and Christians and other non-believers wherever you find them,
for their rejection of islam is worse than your slaughter of them," (koran 2-191)

Here is the same verse from the Holy Quraan( Yusuf Ali Translation) But I am including verse 190 -191-192 to193 so it can be read in full context : ( Bismillah-Hir-Raghmaan-Nir-Ragheem)

V.190. Fight in the cause of God Those who fight you, But do not transgress limits; For God loveth not transgressors.

V.191. And slay them Wherever you catch them, And turn them out from where they have turned you out; For tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter ; But fight them not at the Sacred Mosque; Unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, Slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

V.192. But if they cease, God is Often forgiving, Most Mrcifull.

V.193. And fight them on Untill there is no more Tumult or oppression, And there prevail Justice and Faith in God; But if they cease, Let there be no hostility Except to those who practice oppression.

These verses were given at a time when the enemies of Islam were at war with the Muslims in the time of the Prophet Muhammed (Alayhis-Salaam).

Anyone who has a copy of Yusuf Ali Translational Quraan can quickly cross check me on these verses. Nowhere is it saying anything about killing Jews or Christians.

Shame on you Doug Corrigan.
