As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.
Don't bother to warn the disbelievers. Allah has blinded them. Theirs will be an awful doom. 2:6
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.
But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you, then kil them. Such is the reward of disbelievers. (But if they desist in their unbelief, then don't kill them.) 2:191-2
And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression.
Fight them until "religion is for Allah." 2:193

Kilgore Trout,

Really... now, come on...

I will overlook the pettiness of that remark. Of course Islamic radicalism did not start in 1973 but nor did it start in Nazi Germany it was already well under way by then.

Petty? How is it petty when you have many on this board, if not the majority, who ignorantly think that Islamic radicalism is the creation of the United States Government? When in truth, it has existed for at least the last 150 years.

Do you expect every Muslim to make their opinions known in a public forum?
There are plenty of anti-violence marches and protests performed by Muslims, it's not my fault that your only source of news is from CNN, MSN and the like.
Right...
How one interprets that is up to them.
