unlike other religious scriptures, Quran is a book which is put together by fools who never edited it to figure how badly it is written., hence one must read verses above and blow to make a sense out of teh verse one is interested in. Here our Fatihah either did not understand what is written in that 2:193 or he is misrepresenting it here .. Fatihah says
Response: Concerning 2:193, the answer is in the very verse you quoted, as you yourself quoted, "But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers." Therefore, this once again demonstrates self-defense, as the verse clearly forbids waring with anyone who desists from waring with you.
Let us carefully read those verses in sequence
[2:190] They ask thee about the new moons. Say, ‘They are means for measuring time for the general good of mankind and for the Pilgrimage.’ And it is not righteousness that you come into houses by the backs thereof; but truly righteous is he who fears God. And you should come into houses by the doors thereof; and fear Allah that you may prosper.
[2:191] And fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight against you, but do not transgress. Surely, Allah loves not the transgressors.
[2:192] And kill them wherever you meet them and drive them out from where they have driven you out; for persecution is worse than killing. And fight them not in, and near, the Sacred Mosque until they fight you therein. But if they fight you, then fight them: such is the requital for the disbelievers.
[2:193] But if they desist, then surely Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
[2:194] And fight them until there is no persecution, and religion is freely professed for Allah. But if they desist, then remember that no hostility is allowed except against the aggressors.
[2:195] The violation of a Sacred Month should be retaliated in the Sacred Month; and for all sacred things there is the law of retaliation. So, whoso transgresses against you, punish him for his transgression to the extent to which he has transgressed against you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
There meaning of
"Desist" is NOT "Stop fighting and stop killing when other side stop fighting and killing"what it is saying is " killing of others is authorized in the event of
"persecution" ., Now this word
"persecution" is a very ambitious word.
For e.g., If some one questions Muhammad and his followers what they are doing..
"Then it is persecution"If some one doesn't give the money to Muhammad and his followers for the sake of propagating Allah religion "
then the other side is persecuting Muhammad and his followers" Or some one questions Muhammad and his actions such as 13 women in 13 years after he crossed that golden age 50
then it is a persecution. If some one says., Muhammad why are you marrying & sleeping with 9 year old girl man.. She is child you are a 50 year old guy., common stop that nonsense.
Then it is persecution If some one says., Muhammad why are you marrying your adopted son' wife? that is not right and that is NOT Arabian custom man.,
Then it is persecution ., not only that here Allah comes in support of Muhammad sexual pleasure
So that word "PERSECUTION IS VERY AMBIGUOUS WORD..
worse is in support of war Allah revels to Muhammad
"That fighting persists until all religion is for Allah."Next problem comes after the death of Muhammad., There you have Quranic verses that orders every Muslim support the leader of the Islamic Ummah that is Caliph. So all Muslims and all citizens must support what Caliph does. And all wars after Mohammad was also for the sake of Allah.
The Loot, booty and those Harems are for the leaders of Islam. that is what you see in Islam all the way to 17th century until infighting with-in Islam and Imperialist British screwed them forever all the way to 2nd world war.
It is interesting to note in the history of Islam part of Indian sub continent and Spain are the two regions that could not be islamized completely. In Spain Muslims were completely wiped out in 1567 by that King Philip II who made the use of the Arabic language illegal, and forbade the Islamic religion, dress, and customs and his troops commanded by Don John of Austria destroyed the town of Galera
after slaughtering the entire population.So that is how wars were created and population made to follow rules of Islam by using Islamic scriptures in the past., Well such actions by Muslims in the present time will lead Muslims and other side in to that
