My dear Sohail who knows no Arabic and ain't no Arab you wrote:

>The only reason Allah tells us to fight in his cause for the reason

And then you quote some translation of Q4:75 1. Your claim is bogus and do you know why? Because Qur'an 9:29 in in Surat al-Tauba the last revealed Sura in the Qur'an and based on the doctrine of al-Nasikh wa al-mansukh in new dispensations in later ayats will abrogate earlier dispensations (in same subject matter) in later ayats. In other wrods Q9:29 will abrogate Q4:75 and Q9:29 tells Muslims to fight (Qatiloo and do not even think about correcting my Arabic. Do you understand?) ahl al-kitab for no reason at all. (ref: See Malik's Kitab al-Jihad ans see also Zamakhshari's Kashshaf). And my dear Sohail you ani't Malik or Zamakhshari! And remember that la ikrah fi al-deen was abrogated by ayat al-sayf and by 9:29. Your calim as I said is bogus.

2. If your claim is really correct then why did Mahmud of Ghazni brutalize your ancestors? What did your ancestors the Hindus do against the invading barbarians called Muslims?

3. And why would your Allah "yuharid" or incite you to fight even for good reasons when he can change the hearts and minds of mere human beings? May be he is not omnipotent. He is asking mere human beings to do his dirty job. So much for Allah the omnipotent. One of your ancesotrs Ghandi was more effective in his "passive resistance" than your Allah and his rasul the caravan raider and Arabian warlord. 4. Or do you think that may be Allah asks you to fight so he and his rasul can get 1/5 of the loot? What do you think? And you know what? Even if you were born in England, which I do not believe, why do you live among infidels and why not go back to pakistan?
