You wrote: "fighting is "qatl"

My dear 3A'isha you have the audacity to demand that we Kuffar do our researching before we utter anything about Islam. And your then you claim that fighting means qatl. If you would have taken the time to consult an Arabic dictionary you would not have uttered such nonsense.

You are very wrong. Qatl (qaf teh lam) means killing!!!

Fighting means Qital and not qatl as you claim.

(Yaqtul means he kills, Yuqatil means he fights).

So is this a typo... ?

Based on this mistake alone there is no reason for me or any of the readers to believe you jihad and all. Shame.
