My dear, explaination about these verses 'you picked up them randomly here and there from the Holy Quran' had been delivered many time in the past in many blogs and websites. You should refer to there or contact an Islamic scholar for your satisfaction. Ms. Hadmida is just 17 years old. May be she is able to fully explain about these verses but I am talking in general sense that she is so young. This entry is about the "The Hijab: What does it Mean for women?" If you want to comment on the issue of Hijab then you are welcome. Thanks, ~ Insha Marri Karma,

A few of the many examples are: Quran Surah 8, verse 60 - "Prepare for them whatever force and cavalry ye are able of gathering to strike terror to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, of Allah and your enemies" Quran Surah 4, verse 56 - "those who have disbelieved our signs, we shall roast them in fire whenever their skins are cooked to a turn, we shall substitute new skins for them that they may feel the punishment verily Allah is sublime and wise" Quran Surah 4, verse 89 - "they but wish that ye should reject faith as they do, and thus be on the same footing as they, so take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah. But if they turn renegades seize them and kill them wherever ye find them and take no friends or helpers from their ranks" Quran Surah 47, verse 4 - "therefore, when ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks and when ye have caused a bloodbath among them bind a bond firmly on them" Quran Surah 8, verse 39 - "Fight them until there is no dissension and the religion is entirely Allah's" Doesn’t look very peaceful to me, but then again maybe you have a different view of peace, like when everyone is a slave to Islam and there is no one left to form their own identities, opinions, or ideas. Hamida,
If Islam is so peaceful how do you explain all the hate filled passage of the Quran? A few of the many examples are:

Quran Surah 8, verse 60 – “Prepare for them whatever force and cavalry ye are able of gathering to strike terror to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, of Allah and your enemies”

Quran Surah 4, verse 56 – “those who have disbelieved our signs, we shall roast them in fire whenever their skins are cooked to a turn, we shall substitute new skins for them that they may feel the punishment verily Allah is sublime and wise”

Quran Surah 4, verse 89 – “they but wish that ye should reject faith as they do, and thus be on the same footing as they, so take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah. But if they turn renegades seize them and kill them wherever ye find them and take no friends or helpers from their ranks”

Quran Surah 47, verse 4 – “therefore, when ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks and when ye have caused a bloodbath among them bind a bond firmly on them”

Quran Surah 8, verse 39 – “Fight them until there is no dissension and the religion is entirely Allah’s”

Doesn’t look very peaceful to me, but then again maybe you have a different view of peace, like when everyone is a slave to Islam and there is no one left to form their own identities, opinions, or ideas.

Thank you and I suspect you're right about the leaders and corrupt governments. The problem is how to address this source of problems without continuing the violence... and I wish I had the solution! Peace be with you. Selam, Hamida.

Sir, you spend your time on this site trying to make Mr. Mac believe Islam is not a violent race but dont you know your comments are instilling just that in his mind. Do you even know the difference between Islam and the extremist that try and taint its name? Sir, you have attacked every claim Mr. Mac has made but haven't provided any evidence that what you are saying is true. I agree with Mac there is a lot of violence in the Islamic world. (Mr. Mac I have found that this violence is because of the government and corrupt leaders rather then my faith) Yes there are violent verses in the Quran but looking back at its history it was send down at a time of war. Their will never be complete peace on this world (my view) so i think Allah gave us those verse as guidelines to what we can and cant do. My favorite verse from the Quran is something like this (sorry at school don't have time to find exact quote but will be happy to once i get home) "if you kill one man its as if you've killed all of mankind and if you save a life its like you have saved all of mankind" I have many more quotes that show that what those extremist are doing is not Islam Allah gave me its what those monsters are trying to create. And I am planning on wear hijab once i graduate high school my mother is to frightened for my safety for me to do it while in high school and its not forced actually i have wanted to wear a hijab ever since i was 13 but i thought my parents would be embarrassed of me (long story) i love hijab because of what it means to me and if i was forced to wear it i wouldn't feel the same way. It's not our job to judge only Allah knows all he is the only judge : D Selam,

Dear Insha,

I am not a Miss but a Mr. and a Pakistani too. I was defensive because I have no knowledge about usage of proper English, that why I face too many difficulities to express my views very fairly.

I am waiting for your comments on this topics.
