i really thank you for your interest in knowing the truth about islam

OK...again this time i provide you with one of a lot of verses in the quran which show that jihad is decent and is "ONLY" a response to any kind of abuse towards muslims or islam the 190th verse in the first surah "surat albaqarah" (And fight in the Way of Allah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allah likes not the transgressors.) this is a very clear order to not trangress any one except those who aggress muslims or islam.

second of all) as for the people of the book there is tens of verses that discuss thier situation one of them :(They are not all alike. Of the People of the Scripture there is a staunch community who recite the revelations of Allah in the night season, falling prostrate (before Him). (113) They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency, and vie one with another in good works. These are of the righteous. (114) And whatever good they do, they will not be denied the meed thereof. Allah is Aware of those who ward off (evil).) "suraht al immran" so islam doesnt encourage muslims to hate them or fight them because "they are not all alike" infact we beleive in jesus, moses we love them and respect them for they are all messengers of god (peace be upon them)

the third thing i would like to mention is the slavery you spoke about earlier yes i agree and know that there were people who were took as prosoners ok..i do agree but if you have checked out the sunnah you could see that the price of being free as mohammed peace be upon him ordered was to teach 10 of the muslims how to read and write,the other thing is that muslims havent allways taken prosoners such as "fath makkah" there wasnt not even one prisoner. and for those who became slaves you see thats because it was a common thing at thier time and you could realize from the quran how much god encourages muslims to free slaves either a muslim slave or a non muslim slave and most of the "kaffarahs" the penance for most sins is to free a slave.

i see that jihad could never be more decent if done by the way allah ordered not like the way people nowadays think of it as total terrorism no infact in the battle of "hetteen" in salah aldeen alayoubi's time he refused to fight the cristians while thier leader was sick beleive me islam is great once you get to know it and undersatand it and for more information you could reffer to islamonline.net

i hope that i was able to help you understand at least some things about islam and may allah guide you to the straight path and help you know and follow the truth....ameen
