... Kinda heart breaking one side you have peeps hating a way oif life, no not religion, they ony assume things about and have no real understanding or knowledge (other wise there'd be an answer for why there are 1 billion Muslims worldwide, peacefully following Islam). But its not their fault, media is blinding. The other hand you have very hurt misunderstood Muslims....

And to Dhimmi no more: that ONE quotation you have there was revealed during a battle- when the Meccans (i.e. Quraish those that wanted Muhammad dead for being a monotheist and spreading the Quran) attacked the Muslims in Medina. The quote is a message from God allowing the Muslims to fight back. If you read the whole chapter it will make much more sense. For God himself says if they stop attacking you then you too stop. Jihad is a struggle not holy war....but why I bother I know not, for the truth only reaches open minded hearts :)

Peace out!!
