Hey dhimmi. Not sure why you're obsessed thinking I'm pakistani. I did however have Indian food today coincidentally. Goat curry is damn good!

I'm not going to bother debating with you as their is not real point since everything I say you think are lies including when I say that I'm NOT Muslim. Never was, never have been. I must have made a good impression on you because you still remember all the details of our conversation. lol I frankly do not.

Anyways, I was not expecting you to respond as this is an ancient thread. But since you did, I generally no longer try convincing people like yourself that there are much less violent interpretations of the Qur'an because I know you completely diagree and see Islam as incredibly evil without a shred of anything beneficial.. Fair enough. Personally I don't care. For me, the only important thing is recognizing that people do follow Islam and therefore I seek to understand their beliefs..

With that said, I remember that you had a fairly good bit of knowledge about Islam (very similar responses to Salafi scholars I've debated with actually theologically speaking), I wanted to ask you a few questions that would benefit my research.

Do you think that Book 19 of Sahih Muslim (covering the Rules of War in Jihad) puts restrictions on how Muslims are supposed to fight kufr? If not, why?

I figure that you could provide some valuable input on this question as its an area of the Hadiths that I often hear moderate Muslims use to say that while Jihad is allowed, that it restricts them from killing women, children, and religious clerics of other religions unless they take up arms.
