Re: Tunisian Islamists Behead Christian ‘Apostate’

The Prophet of Islam ( Prophet Muhammad) taught that Christians
and Jews were 'people of the Book (Bible)' and did not tell his
followers to forcefully convert them to Islam. Christians and Jews
throughout history have lived peacefully in Muslim countries, all they
had to do was pay a tax. This tax allowed them to live in a Muslim
country, and by paying this tax they did not have to fight in the army
if the country was in war.
Since the middle of the twentieth century, terrorism has broken
out from Muslim communities. Many Muslims tell us that killing is
against the teachings of Islam and that terrorism can not be
supported. But this terrorism is less about religion and more about
the perceived humiliation of their secular leaders by those whom a
small minority believe to wish to harm the Muslim world.
The Koran does not support the killing of innocents. Many people
including some Muslim extremists have taken verses out of context from
the Koran and used them to justify their actions. If you clearly read
the text, you can see that Koran actually states that Killing is one
of the worst sins to commit, and it can only be done for self defense.
