tommy. ....." "Slay the idolaters wherever you find them" (Q. 9:5)".....

And in response to this you said....." Sounds pretty bad, until one reads the entire verse:

"[at-Taubah 9:5] Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."......

Just how in hell do you figure the whole thing sounds better than just the first part of it?
It says kill the unbelievers. It says lay in ambush for the unbelievers.
It says besiege the unbelievers. It says " if they repent and establish worship and pay blood money then let them live.

Repent for what? and worship whom? does this mean that if they want to live they must convert to islam. Or maybe it means that if they worship allah they will be allowed to live providing they still pay the blackmail money.

Ya tom sure sounds better when ya read the whole thing...Gees

And then of course it says this....." Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."......

If the moslem allah was forgiving and merciful he/she would not say slay anyone. and he/she would surely not have created a cult such as islam and permitted them to murder so many thousands of people over the last 1500 years. WOULD HE/SHE??

Now you can bring up the crusades in defense.
