If Islam be a religion of = peace, can you=20 explain why the commandments below remain in the Qu'ran, and are = memorised=20 and recited daily (at times) by Moslems worldwide?

It is these verses that cause = Fatwahs,=20 Jihads, Invasions, Terrorism and attacks upon Israel and Christian and=20 non-Christian Nations, attacks and invasions that Hallmark the spread of = Islam=20 these past 14 centuries.

"One big maggot in the apple = basket=20 destroys all the apples eventually"

"2.191": And kill=20 them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence = they=20 drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not = fight with=20 them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they = do fight=20 you, then slay them; such is the = recompense of=20 the unbelievers.
=20
"2.193": And fight=20 with them until there is no persecution, and=20 religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there = should=20 be no hostility except against the oppressors.=20

"2.54":   =20 And when Musa said to his people: O my people! you have surely been = unjust to=20 yourselves by taking the calf (for a god), therefore turn to your = Creator=20 (penitently), so kill your people, = that is best for you with your Creator: so He = turned to you=20 (mercifully), for surely He is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the=20 Merciful.

"3.168":   =20 Those who said of their brethren whilst they (themselves) held back: = Had they obeyed us, they would not have been = killed.=20 Say: Then avert death from yourselves = if you=20 speak the truth.

"4.89":   =20 They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that = you=20 might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until = they fly=20 (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then=20 seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not = from=20 among them a friend or a helper.

"4.90":   =20 Except those who reach a people between whom and you there is an = alliance, or=20 who come to you, their hearts shrinking from = fighting=20 you or fighting their own people; and if Allah had pleased, = He would=20 have given them power over you, so that they should have certainly = fought you;=20 therefore if they withdraw from you and do not fight you and offer you = peace,=20 then Allah has not given you a way against them.

"4.91": You will find others who = desire=20 that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as = often as=20 they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; = therefore=20 if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and = restrain=20 their hands, then seize them and kill them = wherever you=20 find them; and against these We=20 have given you a clear authority.

Looking forward to your = reply...

John = A
