I have mentioned before that we, moderate muslims, support the word, fight, in the Holy Quran only at the time when non-muslims start to fight against us. We do not support that we do not fight. Use your rational logic and explanation, could a person stand there simply let non-muslims fight with us and yet we do not defend ourselves. We don't find it to be violent since we are playing defensive role in fighting. The same as Prophet Muhammad, the pagans persecuted them and he fought back since this is the words of Allah to fight for those who begain to fight with us.
Previously I have interpreted the word, fight, with you from the Holy Quran, please kindly refer it that we, moderate muslims, support fightings only when non-muslims begin to fight with us. This type of fighting spirit is not to be considered bad since we fight back due to non-muslims are the first to create trouble to us and that is what is taught in the Holy Quran.
Don't mislead anybody for the meaning of the word, fight, in the Holy Quran. See by yourselves and examine the history of Prophet Muhammad and the religion, muslim, and you know what I mean.
