The words from Plato:
>>Nevertheless, to interpret the word, fight, in the Quran as leaving no mercy to non-muslims by killing them without hoping that they would be converted to Muslims has been found to be non-sensical.<<
It is truly nonsensical and it is YOUR interpretation of what I said.
You have mentioned that the definition of fight in the Quran does not refer to kill non-muslims without leaving mercy . Does it mean the word, fight, in Quran refers to not to kill non-muslims by showing mercy to them? Your comment seems to begin to have contradiction for your initial support that the word, fight, means killing non-muslims without leaving mercy.
