There is a question that needs to be answered. If Islam is a "religion of peace, love, and tolerance ", then why is it that the Koran has up to 164 verses cited that call for jihad fighting? Did internet research and found out to my suprise that there are up to 164 verses from the Koran that call upon Muslims to fight non-Muslims and defeat them. Here is the URL of the website that was researched. Response(s) would be appriciated. http://www.angelfire.com/moon/yoelnatan/koranwarpassages.htm
