Plato, when somebody starts to fight with you, do you consider yourselves to be bad when you defend yourselves by fighting back.
The reason why the word, fight, appear in the Holy Quran since Allah wants us not to be so coward that we do not fight back at the time when pagans start fighting with us.
You have to bear in mind that if pagans start to kill, persecute and/or etc. to muslims, muslims wil one by one perish in their hands. They start burning mosques and muslims remain silence and not to defend. Sooner or later the whole entire muslims will be wiped off from this world and that is why Allah wants us to fight back when non-muslims start fighting against us.
Plato, Do you fight back when someone starts fighting with you? Don't tell me you will let someone beats you up until you die and you still remain silence without fighting back. If you fight back, it proves that fighting to defend is not bad.
