The following are the extracted verses from Quran:
003.085 YUSUFALI: If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).
009.033 YUSUFALI: It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
I do not find anything wrong to these verses since they are meant for the future event at the time of the Last Judgment Day in which Allah would uphold all muslims. However, these verses do not mention that Allah does delegate the authority to fight against the muslims while we are on earth. As Allah does not delegate the authority to us to fight while we are on earth, how could we abuse the right of Allah to execute judgment on us? The phrase, never will it be accepted of him, in Quran 3:85 implies Allah is the one that execise his authority over non-muslims. Who are you, Plato, that is proud and would not be submissive to the authority of Allah and try all your way to abuse the authority of Allah to call muslims to fight against non-muslims while we are on earth?
The same as you are in India. You are submissive to your India government. You only fight with other country when your India government agrees you to fight. The same is for Muslims. How could muslims abuse the authority of Allah when Allah's decision is to have him to execute judgment upon non-muslims at the time of the Last Judgment Day? This is due to Allah is supposed to be the one to execute judgment on the Last Judgment Day and you encourage muslims to execute the judgment right before the Last Judgment Day while we are on earth. What rights do muslims have when Allah does not delegate this rights to us? What rights do you have to call muslims to fight when Allah has not delegated the rights to us to fight right before the Last Judgment Day while we are on earth? You indeed have despised the right and the authority of Allah since you demand us to execute judgment or killings right before the Last Judgment Day.
Our mission on earth is to preach to non-muslims for their repentance so that they could be saved through the Last Judgment Day.
