from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of God; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon God in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than God?

The sin of disbelief in God is greater than committing murder. Do not fight them in the vicinity of the Sacred Mosque in Mecca unless they start to fight. Then slay them for it is the recompense that the disbelievers deserve.<br> http://www.islamawakened.com/Quran/2/191/default.htm<br> <br> An-Nisa (The Women), 4:89<br> They wish that you should disbelieve as
they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper<br> http://www.islamawakened.com/Quran/4/89/default.htm<br> <br> An-Nisa (The Women), 4:91<br> You will find others desiring to be secure from you, and secure from their people, yet whenever they are returned to temptation, they are overthrown in it. If they withdraw not from you, and offer you peace, and restrain their hands, take them, and slay them wherever you come on them; against them We have given you a clear authority.<br> http://www.islamawakened.com/Quran/4/91/default.htm<br> <br> Al-Ma'ida (The Table), 5:33<br> This is the recompense of those who fight against God and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their
hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement,<br> http://www.islamawakened.com/Quran/5/33/default.htm<br> <br> At-Tawba (The Repentance), 9:5<br> Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.<br> http://www.islamawakened.com/Quran/9/5/default.htm<p>
