Tench-
A friend of mine picked out some excerpts from the Koran for you.
Oh, and I'm getting my copy back after the weekend, so I'll do some digging.
Check these out:
----------------------------------
>Al-Fatihah "The Opening" (Qur'anic Surah No. 1):
>
>[1:6,7] "Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have
>bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as
>the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians)."
>
>Al-Mâ'idah "The Dinner Table" (Qur'anic Surah No. 5):
>
>[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.
>
>[5:60] Say (O Muhammad SAW to the people of the Scripture): "Shall I inform
>you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allâh:
>those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allâh and His Wrath, those of whom
>(some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped Tâghût
>(false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the
>Hellfire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this
>world)."
>
>Al-Taubah "Repentance" (Qur'anic Surah No. 9):
>
>[9:5] Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th,11th, and 12th months of
>the Islâmic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikûn [infidels, i.e.
>Christians & Jews] (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them
>and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they
>repent and perform As-Salât [5 daily Islamic Prayers] (Iqâmat-as-Salât),and
>give Zakât [Alms], then leave their way free. Verily, Allâh is
>Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
>
>Al-Taubah "Repentance" (Qur'anic Surah No. 9):
>
>[9:29] "Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the
>Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His
>Messenger (4) and acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e., Islam) among
>the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the
>Jizyah [protection money] with willing submission, and feel themselves
>subdued."
>
>[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!"
>
>Al-Mâ'idah "The Dinner Table" (Qur'anic Surah No. 5):
>
>[5:82] Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the
>believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikûn [the infidels,
>i.e. Christians]" (see V.2:105).
>
>Al-Bakarah "The Cow" (Qur'anic Surah No. 2):
>
>[2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out
>from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than
>slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they
>fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is
>there
>recompense of the unbelievers.
>
>
>Al-Ahqaf "The Curved Sand-hills" (Qur'anic Surah No. 46):
>
>[46:25] Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!
>Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of)
>their houses! Thus do We recompense the people who are Mujrimun
>(polytheists, disbelievers, sinners)!
>
>[46:27] And indeed We have destroyed towns (populations) round about you,
>and We have (repeatedly) shown (them) the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses,
>lessons, signs, revelations, etc) in various ways that they might return
>(to the truth and believe in the Oneness of Allah -- Islamic Monotheism). |
