It pains my heart immnsely when all muslims r branded terrorists. I am aware that a vast majority of the Indian muslims r very decent people. They would not even hurt a fly let alone killing fellow-hindus.
Naturally, they r baffled why they r being hated. A vast majority of Indian muslims have not read the Quran. I am posting some verses from Quran not becoz I want to create hatred against muslims. I know that the decent majority have not and will not act upon these verses. But the terrorists r quoting these and similar verses in Quran to justify their action. There r many such verses and I am quoting just three of them: "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!"[3:151]
"Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
"So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
PLS GO THROUGH QUARAN-DEAR FRIENDS. Will all decent muslims support my suggestion that Government should ensure that Quran should be published without verses such as these against "unbelievers"? Certainly, your right to self-defence when attacked is not dependent on these verses. Such right was available to humanity much before the advent of Islam. By supporting such a measure, u will show your opposition to the Jehadists. And we will be able to take the wind out of non-muslim extremists who use their so-called doctrine of "retaliation".

The quranic ayat which you are posting was a time when muslim were very few in hundreds and were attacked for there faith by thousand arab idol worshipers who fought wars with the muslims of that time so this ayats came for that time of war you ppl are look confused about quran, quran says those who are blind in this world will be blind here after also this does not means the physical blindness it refers to blindness of knoledge and wisdom, so plz read the ayat reference where and for what evet and when it came then u can understand it you ppl are innocent or perpously potraying innocent

I am happy u clarified thus hussaini sahab. U r a decent person and will not act on it blindly. But the terrorists cite such verses as justification for deeds which leaves people like u and me bewildered. If these r obsolete verses in today's context, why not publish the book without them????

terrorists fallow no religion specially, quran says ALLAH will reward double to those who repel good with evil, and in prophet mohammed.saw hadees it says do good to those who do bad to you, feed those who take ur food, and there is no revenge in islam, islam is forgiveness love prophet.sa is the proof ,prpohet mohammed.saw used to visit sick enemies, so if few terrorist disobey islam we cant blame islam for it, and as for publishing with out history for a few foolesh terrorist, islam dont deal with terrorist for them punishment.
