sTs has a "mac daddy" lie this time

You write, sTs, that the Qur'an mentions the Torah and the Bible in aya 9.111

If I were you, I would be a little more careful.

Qur'an 9.111 -

"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden of Paradise: they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah: then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

You try, with great arrogance, to claim "Law" here refers to the Torah and "Gospel" refers to the Bible. It doesn't.

You write, "where is the kaffir [unbeliever] in the verse?"

Well, who do you THINK are the "slain", performed in Allah's cause, in this verse? Other Muslims?

Hint - Qur'an 4.101 -

"For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies".

You write, "And you did not mention that the verse [Qur'an 9.111] says it is binding on God in the Torah and the Gospel - because it is there in the torah and Gospel - TO KILL"

Although you are (quite delusionally) grasping for some connection, there isn't any.

Qur'an 9.111 says if you die while killing, you will go to Paradise.

The Bible (and the Torah) - read this carefully - NEVER PROMISE PARADISE FOR KILLING. Or for dying while killing.

Did you get that?

I notice this is one point you don't argue - the Qur'an DOES promise Paradise for killing.
