190. Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
I will continue reading despite this passage of ignorance and violence. I am searching in earnest for a redeaming passage, but this book is all about how perfect muslims are, and how wrong everyone else is.
This makes me sad. Islam is not a religion of peace as it appears so far. It lacks forgiveness and understanding, and is completely counter to the words and actions of Christ. I am only at the beginning though-- maybe there is redemption.
I hope.
