Rayees ibn Mushtaq quotes a few Qur’an verses below, but here are some he left out. No, no, don’t thank me. I’m happy to help.
“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60)
“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)
“And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving, all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.” (Qur’an 2:191-193)
“They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
“This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)
“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
“Then, when the sacred months are over, kill 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; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Islam does not support terrorism, it condemns it,” by Rayees ibn Mushtaq, Kashmir Reader, February 4, 2021:
Some people who say they are working for religion may misunderstand or misrepresent their religion. Therefore, it is wrong to form an opinion about a religion from the activities of such people. The best way to understand a religion is through its sacred source.
The sacred source of Islam is the Qur’an. The Qur’an is based on ethics, love, compassion, mercy, dignity, sacrifice, tolerance and peace. A Muslim who lives according to these principles is a good Muslim. He gives love, respect, peace of mind and happiness to the people around him.
Islam is a religion that has come to offer humanity a life of peace and prosperity. God has invited all people to accept the moral teachings of the Qur’an. This command is given in Surat al-Baqarah verse 208: ‘O you who believe! Enter into peace (Islam) and do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. He is your enemy.’ As we see in this verse, people will experience peace by living according to the teachings of the Qur’an.
God has commanded humanity to avoid evil. Islam forbids immorality, rebellion, oppression, aggression, murder and bloodshed. Those who do not obey this command of God are following in the footsteps of Satan. Of the many verses on this subject, here are just two:
‘But those who have broken God’s covenant and agreed to it, and have broken God’s covenant, and spread corruption in the land, will be cursed. They will have a house of evil.’ (Surat al-Ra: 25)
‘Without forgetting your part of the world, seek the abode of the Hereafter with what God has given you. And do good, as God has done good to you. And do not try to spread mischief on earth. God does not like miscreants.’ (Surat al-Qasas: 77)
As we can see, God forbids all forms of evil in Islam, including terrorism and violence, and condemns those who commit such acts. A Muslim lends beauty to the world and makes it better.
Islam defends tolerance and freedom of speech. It forbids people from having conflicts and even negative thoughts about another person. Islam prohibits not only terrorism and violence but also the imposition of any idea on another human being.
‘There is no compulsion in religion. The correct guidance is clear from the error. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.’ (Surat al-Baqara: 256)
‘So remind, you need only to remind: You cannot compel them to believe.’ (Surat al-Ghashiyah: 22)…
Templer says
Tell that to isis tell that to chowdery tell that to iran islam is a war move ring evil santic cult it only destroys does nothing for humaintey
Wellington says
One can also find passages in Mein Kampf that come across as perfectly reasonable, even insightful (e.g., the merits of trade unions in Chapter 2), but then you move on to other passages in Hitler’s turgid tome and it’s like “Whoa, wait a minute!” Ditto for the Koran.
puraposta says
It only takes a little poison in a drink to kill you. The same can be said of Islam therefore the wise do not drink from it.
Terry Gain says
A little poison? How much love is there in the Islamic War Manual?
mortimer says
Yes, just drink the Kool Aid.
Peter Buckley says
Even in heavily- Islamized areas like Kashmir, Rayees ibn Mushtaq will be heartbroken to discover that, according to local imams, the local mosques are become devoid of young muslims:

Oh what wondrous times are these……
Michael Copeland says
A steaming heap.
Keith O says
Is this talking head referring to the same so called religion that reads the same koran as every other mudslime in the world takes their instruction for violence, misogyny and hatred?
Has he found the islamic version of the dead sea scrolls? Something that contradicts the teachings that every other mudslime on the face of the earth follows?
Or is he simply lying through his tooth to the infidels, as he has been taught to do since birth?
My money is on the latter!
Terry Gain says
The great philosopher George Costanza explained that its not a lie if you believe it.
Michael Copeland says
“…the jihad in the way of Allah is not terrorism.”

This just in: ‘Islam does not support terrorism, it condemns it’
………………….
Rayees ibn Mushtaq is lying like a rug–what he means it that pious Muslims call terrorism Jihad. Not only does he omit the violent verses of the Qur’an, he mirepresents the ones he does cite:
Islam is a religion that has come to offer humanity a life of peace and prosperity. God has invited all people to accept the moral teachings of the Qur’an. This command is given in Surat al-Baqarah verse 208: ‘O you who believe! Enter into peace (Islam) and do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. He is your enemy.’ As we see in this verse, people will experience peace by living according to the teachings of the Qur’an.
…
Islam means submission, not peace. And just a few verses later–Qur’an 2:211–the Qur’an starts in with hatred of Jews.
More:
God has commanded humanity to avoid evil. Islam forbids immorality, rebellion, oppression, aggression, murder and bloodshed. Those who do not obey this command of God are following in the footsteps of Satan. Of the many verses on this subject, here are just two:
‘But those who have broken God’s covenant and agreed to it, and have broken God’s covenant, and spread corruption in the land, will be cursed. They will have a house of evil.’ (Surat al-Ra: 25)
‘Without forgetting your part of the world, seek the abode of the Hereafter with what God has given you. And do good, as God has done good to you. And do not try to spread mischief on earth. God does not like miscreants.’ (Surat al-Qasas: 77)
…
Note that “spreading corruption (or mischief) in the land” just means not being Muslim.
More:
As we can see, God forbids all forms of evil in Islam, including terrorism and violence, and condemns those who commit such acts. A Muslim lends beauty to the world and makes it better.
…
Evil in Islam does not include Jihad terror–in fact, murdering Infidels is the greatest achievment in Islam.
More:
Islam defends tolerance and freedom of speech. It forbids people from having conflicts and even negative thoughts about another person. Islam prohibits not only terrorism and violence but also the imposition of any idea on another human being.
…
Islam crushes freedom of speech–just look at all the “blasphemy” laws in Dar-al-Islam, and all the crushing of tolerance in Shari’ah law.
mortimer says
Rayees ibn Mushtaq forgot the Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses:
K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8.
John Forbes says
Yes but OBAMA, HILLARY, GEORGE BUSH & NOW BIDEN & VERY FRIGHTENED CAMERON & MAY ALL STATE THAT :ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE & VIOLENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM:????
The book by Douglas Murray :STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE” clearly points out the cowardice & dishonesty but the media & so- called ( but very frightened) cowards masquerading as leaders insist that we believe that Islam is peaceful despite the fact that it we who have dead & many reped school children!
Callous & cowardly are the leaders in the West as is the Islamic Pope Francis!
Andrew Blackadder says
If I tell a muslim fellow that I believe his religion is very violent and he then attacks me very violently for saying this, is he being a good muslim for doing so?.
James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
“Islam does not support terrorism, it condemns it”
If anybody believes that, they also likely believe that the primary goal of “Pope” Francis is to promote Christianity throughout the world…
OLD GUY says
Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth to those who want to believe. Islam is the BIG LIE!
Del says
Taqiyya.
underbed cat says
It is all in the definition of terrorism. For Jews,Christians and atheist we think of terrorism, as those who strike terror into our hearts by gruesome killing such as 9/11, after their first attack on the Towers in NYC, etc. that didn’t do enough damage that tried years later a second more well planned attack, most likely using some citizens and freedoms to raise money and walk to conspire and plot and had information and people in the right places to make sure authorities would not make an assumption.
For the people who follow their religion from the Quran, they see people who strike back after Islamic attacks as a crime or if they speak honestly to inform others of the connections of terror from Quranic teachings as terrorists because only a muslim has the right to kill muslims and they get murdered for causing disruption to their own faith if they expose deception and terror which is a crime in sharia law. Many converted Americans maybe like the lifestyle, see the wealth and power and have not read the Quran..in English ….yet or just been told Islam is not aggressive..but once converted it is done gradually, it is a another muslim who will attack them if they leave or get disillusioned. They must show a friendly face that works to lower resistance from the non beleiver toward muslims but hold a hard heart….the latter is the problem. Daniel Pearl found out that the friendly face invite for conversation and questions later after some calmly, comforted asked questions and discussion turned later unexpectantly suddenly to his death. Sharia law in operation.
The deception is brillantly dangerous.
