the people in this video are not the way in which islam should be judged. judge a religion by its book and code not by the people that follow it. and as for the references that have been quoted from the quran, they have been taken out of context. for example chapter 8 verse 60, translates roughly like this from a reliable soource: and make ready against them all you can of power including steeds of war (tanks, planes missiles and artillery) to threaten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides tem who yuo may not know but whom Allah does know. And whatever you shall spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid to you and you shall not be treated unjustly. verse 61 but if they incline o peace you also incline to it and put your trust in Allah. verily, He is the All hearer, the All Knower. this obviously says that if the enemy inclines in peace then make no war against them. chapter 47 verse 4 talks about when you are at war with each other this is not saying that you should just go along and smite peoples necks. It says so when you meet in fight, which cuold be a fight started by anyone. also you have to understand that art the beginning of time, iblis (satan)refused to bow down to prophet adam peace be upon him and as a result of this Allah expelled him from heaven and iblis said to Allah allow me respite until the day of judgement and Allah granted him respite and so iblis said that he will lead allah's creation off the straight path until the day of judgement. and so from this we know that there will definitely be those who will not be muslims so those who say that every non muslim should be killed are wrong and our responsibility is to tell people about islam and for them it is their decision under Allah's guidance and there has to be non believers because people will definitely be of those who will dwell in the hell fire. So i urge you to read the quran for yourself before you judge adn learn about it from actual reliable sources not people who spout rubbish.
@My anonymous friend...
Thanks a lot for posting your views. However I had a few questions from your own sentences. When you say Chapter 8, Verse 60 says fight against the enemies of allah with all your might, who are identified as enemies of allah? Are non-followers of Islam considered enemies of Allah?
As you told, it's always better to read and understand something than rely on what others say but since I don't know Arabic, I can't read Quran myself and interpret the sayings. I don't want to listen to the version of a pro or anti muslim and come to a wrong conclusion. Do you know of any good references to understand what is said there?
Thanks again!
