Are We Really Supposed To “Kill All The Infidels”? – altmuslim.com
Thanks to Jamal from Opinionated Voice: I came across this article on AltMuslim.com:

The framework underlying fighting in Islam is self-defense, and all verses which call on the believers to “fight the unbelievers” must be understood in this framework.

I’m not what I seem
Time and again, over and over and over again, I either read or hear from people that Islam calls for the murder of “infidels,” or all those who are not Muslim. This perception is so pervasive, so entrenched, and I really do not know from where it comes. Yes, there are Muslims who do believe this: 19 of them crashed three planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 of my innocent American brothers and sisters. But, I don’t know from where they got this idea.

“It is the Qur’an, you idiot!!!” I am quite sure some of you just screamed that to your computer screen.
