Originally posted by BP: the koran also says 'do not commit aggression for God does not love aggressors'. for a very short answer to your question, when the koran talks about killing infidels it is meant in the context of self defense, NOT terrorism. but you (like other extremist) want to interpret certain passages as you see fit. the stench of irony should be strong in your nostrils by now...
WRONG! It is not meant in self defense, I suggest you go read the Koran rather then talking to your buddies at work.

It's quite obvious you do not understand the concept of Old Covenant/New Covenant like the Bible teaches. All those things were under the Old Covenant and God does not do those things any more because of Jesus. I suggest you go read the Bible as well.
Originally posted by BP:i'm not going to get into religion bashing because it's counter-productive and off topic. the point is even though the koran says what it says, the bible also has teachings which can be interpreted in the same manner and taken to extremes. accept it and move on.
And anyone who thinks God and the Bible says to go kill anyone in His name does not understand the Bible. Unlike the Koran, which tells its followers that anyone who is NOT a Muslim is a threat and should be killed. It's quite clear if you would just read it instead of talking to your buddies at work.
