Hello warmfuzzy!

> Violent Verses in the Quran: Their holy book in its own words. [...]

> Quran (4:74)

> "So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life

"WE will bestow"?  So there is more than just Allah proclaiming  
that?  Interesting.

> "Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger

> " ..I will cast terror into the hearts of those who

>  ..."you may terrify the enemy of

> "O Prophet, urge the believers to battle"

> "It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a

> "And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever

Sounds like the words from a war god.  Revenge, physical harm,  
etc.

I have to wonder what the Western Muslims really think of those  
verses.
