Dear Nuray: I understand you do not believe in hadiths and siras. How then you got this chronology and history you are talking about (Quran niether has context nor chronology) ?Besides your info. is way out of line. You got every thing turned around. Mohammed was very peaceful earlier and all peaceful ayas came in Mecca and early Madina period. As time went by Mohammed and Quran, both got more and more violent. The Aya 9.5 of the last surah Tawba is the most violent of all and according to most scholars (Suyuti, Ibn Khatir etc)is the aya of sword and abrogates 0ver 100 earlier peaceful ayas.

I am an ex-muslim and am very familiar with quran and islamic history. I left the cult a while back. You may be surprised to know that thousands of iranians have left the cult in California, most well known is Parvin Darabi (huma.org), sister of Dr. Huma Darabi who burnt herself in Tehran downtown protesting the islamic Govt, many years back..
