Quran 3:178, "let not the disbelievers think that our postponing of their punishment is good..." The word, postponing of their punishment, in Quran 3:178 implies that whenever the fight is mentioned in the Holy Quran, it does not imply that we, muslims, must fight immediately wtih them since the postponing is mentioned here and that should be dealt on the Last Judgment Day.
