Quran's 'war verses' at work

By Hal Lindsey

 
You may ask: “Just what do these 'war verses' in the Quran teach that has so radicalized Muslims in virtually every century from the beginning of Islam?” The following is a sample of these verses. They are quoted from a comparison of eight different officially recognized translations of the Quran, with the N.J. Dawood translation being the principle one used:
“Strike off their [infidel's] heads. Strike off their finger-tips! … because they defied God and his Apostle [Muhammad].” (Sura 8:12-13)
“Make war on them [infidels] until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme.” (Sura 2:193)
“Seize them and put them to death wherever you find them.” (Sura 4:89)
“Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you.” (Sura 9:123)
“When the sacred months [Ramadan] are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them; besiege them; and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent [convert to Islam] and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way.” (Sura 9:5)
