Nozzi: Verses like 9:5 and 9:29 abrogate 6:110

Reader comment on item: A Saudi Prince's Threat to the Obama Administration
in response to reader comment: DOES THE QURAN DEMAND MUSLIMS TO SLAUGHTER NON-MUSLIMS ?

Submitted by Plato (India), May 26, 2009 at 11:53

Nozzi, you quote the Koran:

>>Quran 6:110 (Yusuf Ali), "We (too) shall turn to (confusion) their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance: We shall leave them in their trespasses, to wander in distraction". Quran 6:110, "(mentions that if)...they refused to believe...we shall leave them in their trespasses (instead of slaughtering them)".<<

Nozzi, Muhammad came up with the verses of the Koran at different times to suit various occasions. Most of the verses in Surah Tauba are among the last revealed. Since 9:5, 9:29 were revealed later they abrogate 6:110 as they contradict it.
