QURAN 4:75 SUPPORTS THAT WE ONLY FIGHT IF NON-MUSLIMS ARE THE FIRST TO START FIGHTING

Quran 4:75, "And what is wrong with you that fight not in the cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men and women, whose cry is, 'Our Lord, rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; raise you one who will protect..." As the phrase, Our Lord rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors, is mentioned in Quran 4:75, it certainly refers to non-muslims who are first started to fight with non-muslims so much so muslims call Allah to rescue them. The phrase, ill-treated and oppressed, in Quran 4:75 implies that these non-muslims treat mulsims badly by persecuting them. As non-muslims are the first to start their battle against non-muslims, it is mentioned Quran 4:75, "(that)..what is wrong with you that fight no in the cause of Allah in which Allah wants muslims to defend against the attack of non-muslims. In Singapore, non-muslims do not start their fighting with us first, why should we fight then?
