"If any country refuses to allow the spread of Islam within its
borders, we will wage jihad on that country."

don't be afraid ... just words from another abrahamic myth believer

The Qur'an says, "Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who
follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,-
any who believe in Allah (God) and the Last Day, and work
righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall
be no fear, nor shall they grieve." (Qur'an, 2:62)

islam, the fastest growing religion in the world, is here to stay ...
and protected by our constitution

When Mohammed established the first Islamic state in Medina, he
regarded the Jews as allies, and concluded a treaty with them. Only
when they violated the treaty and sided with the Muslims' enemies did
the Prophet change his policy toward them.

First, let's look at where these statements come from. These are
common stereotypes about Islam. People who don't understand the
religion like to toss around the accusation that the Qur'an teaches
violence and anti-semitism. Unfortunately, a lot of people who buy
into these misconceptions have distinctly Islamophobic agendas that
preclude them from having any positive views of Islam.

Islam is a fourteen-hundred years old way of life. One simply can't
take the scripture of Islam, which is the Qur'an (also spelled Koran),
and make sweeping generalizations about the religion, particularly
when one lacks the qualifications to interpret the Qur'an.

The Qur'an makes reference to different groups of non-Muslims. First,
the Qur'an recognizes the natural diversity of humanity, "O mankind!
We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made
you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye
may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight
of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full
knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)." (Qu'ran, 49:13)

There is also the recognition that human beings are religiously and
ethnically diverse, "For, had God so willed, He could surely have made
you all one single community; however, He lets go astray him that
wills [to go astray], and guides aright him that wills [to be guided];
and you will surely be called to account for all that you ever
did!" (Qur'an, 16:93)

What then does the Qur'an say about "infidels?" First, what does the
term infidel mean? It is not a Qur'anic term. It is a term that
Christians have historically applied to non-Christians, particularly
Muslims. Christian doctrine simply did not recognize the legitimacy of
Islam. Hence, Muslims were "infidels," and usually placed in the same
category as "pagans" and "savages."

The Qur'an speaks of "kuffar," or those who disbelieve, or cover up
the truth, or deny the truth of God and His messengers. However, it is
incorrect to translate "kafir" as infidel. The Qur'an also does not
label all non-Muslims as kuffar, or unbelievers.

The Qur'an talks about a group of non-Muslims called "Ahl al-Kitab,"
or People of Scripture. These are people who have received divine
revelation, particularly Christians and Jews. Therefore, the Qur'an
automatically recognizes previous Abrahamic faiths and accords special
status to the adherents of Christianity and Judaism. What is ironic is
that Christian and Jewish doctrine makes no provision for the
recognition of Islam; however, Islam recognizes both Christianity and
Judaism as divinely-revealed religions.
