Nozzi: Only the Muslim god Allah tells His followers to fight and kill

Nozzi, you write:

>>Quran 40:12 (Yusuf Ali), "(The answer will be:) "This is because, when Allah was invoked as the Only (object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, ye believed! the Command is with Allah, Most High, Most Great!" The phrase, the Command is with Allah, in Quran 40:12 implies that Allah is the only one that has the command to fight against non-muslims<<

You are right it is only the Muslim God Allah that tells His followers to fight as He does in:

009.005 YUSUFALI: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Regards
