Quran and non muslims, Response to Samir

Submitted by A.A. (United States), Sep 2, 2005 at 11:14

Samir , you wrote you did not see any thing in quran against non muslims. Here are just a few examples from first few suras:

2:10 Disbelievers are diseased.
2;99 Disbelievers are evil people .
2:104 For disbelievers is a painful doom.
2:171 Disbelievers are deaf, dumb, and blind.
3:28 Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference of believers.
3:73 Don't believe anyone who is not a Muslim.
3:48 Don't be friends with non-Muslims. They all hate you and want to ruin you
4::89 Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.
4:63 Oppose those who refuse to follow Muhammad.
4:101The disbelievers are an open enemy to you.
4:144 Do not choose disbelievers as friends. 144
5:51Don't take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.
5:51 Jews and Christians are losers.
5:60 Allah turned unbelievers into apes and swine.
5:59 Jews and Christians are evil people
5:57Don't choose Jews, Christians, or disbelievers as guardians. 57
6:106 Stay away from disbelievers.
8:55 The worst beasts in Allah's sight are the disbelievers.
9:5Slay the disbelievers wherever you find them.
9:28 Disbelievers are are unclean.
9:30 Christians and Jews are perverts. Allah himself fights against them

Samir, I picked up some ayas only from first 9 suras. There are 114 suras in quran. The verbal abuse and cursing of non muslims and bad muslims (hypocrites) is almost in every sura. If you say Allah was talking to the non muslims of those days only, then why do muslims say quran is for all people of all times? Why do they follow a book which only talk to people of 7th century.
