To say Islam preaches peace and universal brotherood and has nothing to do violence is like selling coal as diamond. Any one who reads quran, the constitution of Islam, will discover that the whole book present the world in a dichotomy of Belivers (muslims and Non-believers (non-muslims).

I was perplexed to read verse after verse, that preach and exhort so much animosity for non-believers (kafirs, including, Jews, Christians, Idolators etc) It even justifies killing kaafirs wherever they are found. It clearly commands muslims not to make friendship with Christians and Jews, bcz according to quran they are open enemies of Islam and Allah would be angry if Muslims make friendship with them.

Further, quran also has commands wherein Muslims (including the prophet PBUM) is ordered not to pray for the Non-muslims, and Allah would be angry if they pray for Kaafirs. Allah did not allow Mohammed to pray for his mother too! bcz she had died before Islam was born, hence she too was a kaafir. According to Quran, All Non-Muslims, however, pious they may be are the worst among the creatures (89:6and 7) and the Muslims are best of the creatures.Quran is replete with verses that command to hate non-muslims treat them harshly.

Finally, I was deeply pained to find a verse, in a supposedly holy book, like quran that asks its adherents to Kill and get killed in the way of Allah, Its actual words are like this" Allah has purchased the lives, property and wealth of Muslims in return for Heaven. Therefore, it is the duty of Muslims to kill and get killed in the way of Allah. Allah is the best promise-keeper.

So the deal muslims entered into with Allah is the best. Muslims should rejoice in this bargain. The ultimate trimph is for muslims" (9:111) If this is not Terrorism then what is terrorism???..I went on searching for some good and agreeable points that would speak against the islam-baiters. But, I could not find even a single noteworthy point to support that Islam is anti-violence. They purpose of quran is clearly state in one verse repeatedly 9:33 and 61:9. The puport of this verse is somehow or ther you have to establish the religion called Islam. It should be made the conqueror of religions.

What is this message?? could any one explain me in detail the points raised by me. Please prove me wrong I will be the happiest person to defend Islam
