Dear daughter of Islam,

Please explain to the rest of us (non-Muslim) who have read} Surah 4:89. They wish that you reject faith, as they have rejected, and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Awliya' (friendship)from them, till they emigrate in the way of Allah. But if they turn back, take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Awliya' nor helpers from them. or Surah 47:4 which says to kill and wound many of "us non-Muslims"...why? please also explain why can't Muslims live in peace w/others?
