YOU ENCOURAGE MUSLIMS TO FIGHT WITH NON-MUSLIMS AND THAT CANNOT BE DENIABLE

I feel that you are simply twisting the verses round and round with the word, fighting. There is no constructive message that could come out from you. Could your debate win the hearts of muslim extremists to repent? These people are not easily to be handled since they are quite obstinate to repent. The more you encourage muslims to fight with non-muslims, the more they feel that their actions are correct.

When I told you the Cambridge history of Islam to show that Muhammad was active to preach to the non-muslims, you insist to go round and round the subject of fighting and simply insists that it is for violence by means of Quran 9:28-30 and/or etc.?

What I told you that what if Muhammad did not preach, muslim religion would disappear. You still bring out those subjects that I ever brought out to you for proof that these verses are not meant for fighting.

From the above queries, I feel that the problem should be lied on you and not other people.

The reason why I insist to argue back in accordance to what you have replied in the past is simply I condemn muslim extremists to be violence and hostile to non-muslims.

We, moderate muslims, have a very hope that non-muslims and muslims should live in harmony and it is no point to stir up muslims' spirits to fight.

What if you could win the debate that muslims should fight with non-muslims, all muslims have been misled by the verses that you quote and begin to fight with non-muslims. What if the third world war would break out due to your mis-interpretation of the Holy Quran to cause many muslims to locate weapons in Israel and that caused United States of America to keep an eye on Israel. What if the third world war occurs between muslim countries and non-muslim countries, the suffering would not only be for muslims but it would include non-muslims. What if the third world war would start as a result of your intention to mislead non-muslims to fight, you would regret eternally when what is not desired has caused by your mis-interpretation of Holy Quran that brings forth mis-interpretation of the Holy Quran among muslims.

I ever saw a message somewhere around this web-site that India was ever the target of muslim extremists. However, you have to bear in mind that we, moderate muslims, did not persecute you. Those that cause violence, vandalism and etc. were muslim extremists. Even if you could win your arguments to mislead all muslims for battle, what advantage you would get then? Could you cause muslim extremists to disappear from this earth? You certainly could not since muslim extremists would call their children and/or grand children and/or great grand children to follow their paths. The only way that you can stop muslim extremists is to use the Holy Quran to speak directly to them and to make them feel guilty for what they do so that they would stop persecuting non-muslims in the future.

For the work you do, I feel that you are not putting off fire but to stir up fire by intentionally misleading muslims for violence.
