The Quran
[Shakir 9:5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the
idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and
lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up
prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful. [Shakir 5:51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews
and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and
whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely
Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[Shakir 4:46] Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter
words from their places… Allah has cursed them on account of their
unbelief, so they do not believe but a little.
[Shakir 4:160] Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are Jews
did we disallow to them the good things which had been made lawful for them and
for their hindering many (people) from Allah's way.
[Shakir 5:41] …from among those who are Jews; they are listeners for
the sake of a lie… Those are they for whom Allah does not desire
that He should purify their hearts; they shall have disgrace in this world, and
they shall have a grievous chastisement in the hereafter.
[Shakir 5:64] And the Jews say: The hand of Allah is tied up! Their
hands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed for what they say… We have
put enmity and hatred among them till the day of resurrection; whenever
they kindle a fire for war Allah puts it out, and they strive to make
mischief in the land; and Allah does not love the mischief-makers.
[Shakir 2:120] And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians
until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah's guidance, that is the
(true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that
has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper.
[Shakir 5:82] Certainly you will find the most violent of people in
enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists,
(Christians).” [Shakir 6:146] And to those who were Jews we made
unlawful every animal having claws, and of oxen… this was a punishment We
gave them on account of their rebellion, and We are surely Truthful.
[Shakir 9:30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians
say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they
imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how
they are turned away!
[Shakir 16:118] And for those who were Jews We prohibited what We have
related to you already, and We did them no injustice, but they were unjust to
themselves.
[Shakir 62:6] Say: O you who are Jews, if you think that you are the
favorites of Allah to the exclusion of other people, then invoke death If you
are truthful.
Christian. These are their vain desires. Say: Bring your proof
if you are truthful.
[Shakir 3:67] Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an)
upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists. (Christians)
[Shakir 5:33] The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His
messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should
be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on
opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for
them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous
chastisement,
[Bear in mind “waging war against Islam”
means simply not to accept the teachings of Islam]
[Yusufali 9:29] Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day,
nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger,
nor acknowledge 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.
* Jizya - The poll-tax is to be paid by the Christian or the Jew forcibly and
submissively. It is to spare their lives; that is, they pay it in lieu of
being killed because if they did not pay it, they would be killed unless
they intended to become Muslims, then they would be exempted from paying it.
[Shakir 9:30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and
the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these
are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who
disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
[Yusufali 4:95] Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those
who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a
special reward,.
[Yusufali 8:65] O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If
there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two
hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for
these are a people without understanding.
[Yusufali 59:11] Hast thou not observed the Hypocrites say to their
misbelieving brethren among the People of the Book? (Jews)… But
Allah is witness that they are indeed liars.
[Yusufali 4:84] Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held
responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah
will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might
and in punishment.
[Yusufali 9:123] O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you
about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with
those who fear Him.
“Given Islam’s historic penchant for military aggression
(“Holy War”) and the modern rise of Islamic fundamentalism and international
terrorism, Islam cannot be ignored by the rest of the world. Why? Because the
ultimate mission of Islam is to subjugate the world and then rule it according
to Islamic law.” (Ishak Ibraham, Black Gold and Holy War, p.35)
