Nozzi you write:
>>I ask you a simple question: Muslim extremists have been active since past. Did muslim extremists destroy the entire non-muslims in any century again?<<
The answer is in some more simple questions. Where are the Buddhist and Hindus of Afghanistan and Balochistan? Where are the pagans and Jews of Arabia?
>>If Allah demands all muslims to fight against non-muslims, Allah should have the hatred against non-Muslims.<<
002.216 YUSUFALI: Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
Who is Allah asking you to fight? Other Muslims?? LOL!
>>If that is so, why Allah did not destroy all non-muslims by his power? We believe that Allah is powerful.<<
Try to answer your own question above honestly and you will realize that you believe in a deity which is powerless yet has a bloated ego. So yes, why did Allah not destroy all non-Muslims whom He hates so much? Your belief and the reality are as different as chalk and cheese.
>>If Allah wants to wipe off all the non-muslims, it is easy than A, B, C. His power could wipe off all non-Muslims at one go and need not muslim extremists to help. Why Allah did not do it and have to trouble all muslim extremists?<<
If you know what Occam's Razor is you will realize that the answer to your question is that Allah is a powerless being who is full of hot air i.e. the answer is so simple you seem to have missed it.
>>Why Muslim extremists are so active in killing non-Muslims and yet still so many non-muslims exist in this world?<<
Have you considered the fact that not all unbelievers unlike the Buddhists of India are willing to show the other cheek to a Muslim's slap or expose their neck to the Islamic sword? Muslims have had to pay a heavy price in lost lives of Muslims and non-Muslims to reach the numbers they have today.
>>Please answer my question: Is Allah cruel or merciful?<<
Do I really have to??? I have answered this in some other replies
>>I have tried to reach out non-muslim fellows in Singapore, some of them refuse to become muslims due to they see the news in the middle east. You'll indeed have put muslims ashame and many non-msulims refuse to become muslims due to the bad conducts.<<
You sound surprised. ROTFL! You say some refused to convert. How many did convert?
>>Would Allah demand non-muslims to repent? Certainly! Allah would want many non-muslims to repent to become muslims.<<
Of course Allah demands non-Muslims to repent and become Muslims but we kaffirs couldn't care less as we know He is only a paper tiger pretending to be the Lord of the universe. We have defied Him for 1400 years and soon with the power of the internet and the broadcast media Islam will be reduced to a small cult.
>>However, among us they are trouble makers and they are the shames to Allah!<<
If you mean the Muslims you consider extremists then I am afraid they are rather a credit to Allah for they are doing exactly as He commanded in 9:111, 9:73, 9:29 etc.
>>If Allah's aim is to destroy all non-muslims, Allah needs not your strength. With his might, Allah could destroy them all.<<
Allah is a paper tiger. He needs Muslims to do the job which He is why He has sent down violent verses.
>>The reason that Allah never does it is Allah is merciful!<<
Allah and mercy do not go together. He even rebukes His prophet for not having slaughtered his prisoners of war:
8:067 PICKTHAL: It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
>>I ask you simply how many non-Muslims have been killed under your hands or in your mosque or outside of it?<<
Some statistics indicate in India more than 60 million were killed during the Muslim conquest and occupation. This must have been very satisfying for Allah if really meant what He says in 8:67.
>> Why is it that all the muslim extremists in your countries could not wipe out all non-muslims by means of weapons, prayers, and etc.<<
Not all non-Muslims willingly went to the slaughter. They fought back both with the sword and the pen as happens even now.
Weapons wiped out 60 million Indians. The Muslims who slaughtered knew that praying to Allah was less than useless.
