Let Holy Qoran talk about it Wink

(2:191)And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for persecution and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

(9:123)O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.

(9:5)But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and pay Zakat, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful.

(25:52)Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness,...

(66:9)O Prophet! Strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed).

(47:4)Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; at length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind (the captives) firmly: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.

(9:29)Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

(3:85)If anyone desires a religion other than Islam(submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost.

(9:23)O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love Infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.

I would like to hear the "outsiders" reaction after reading those verses from qoran… Do you think islam is a religion of peace and tolerance? Can followers of these verses defend the peaceful coexistence of different cultures?

I do not know how reality is the situation in your country
But I know how the situation in the Arab  country
what  i see  that  Muslims and non-Muslims live in harmony
Working with   each  othrs  .. studying together … and marry each other

And live in peace and love and   Excellency
I do not know how reality is the situation in your country

Except for some people's    You may find them in anywhere

I think really is silly and foolish  to deal diffreint  with   who diffreint  in ide  

Underdevelopment/  Locked mind if    people from different religions  or have d iffreint idea are treated differently .. May be   person of the same religion and  he is the beast (no matter what a Muslim or  a Christian   an atheist or Budi …etc.
as   there   person  have diffreint  idea and he she  could  be  more   best  than  our mother  or our father (also  whatever  muslim  or a Christian, or an atheist Jew,  .... etc.
You can not make the whole world as you like
Only God is   who makes the world  as  he likes
god Create a world with
different cultures
You can not make the world one culture
God wants different cultures
I do not like   our world if it has one color
Tip ….you  and  some people  here  have to  opened up to the outside world ….
you have  to be  closer to all the world
Do not be limited only to a certain category 
 or who  have  similarities .to you .. and you will discover
i hope also  marocaldy and 7line
knows    that all religons are peaceful
you can  be whatever and be whatever
