"You can probably find text that directs one group to deal harshly with another group but it would be in the light of dealing with some unjust or evil situation" I don't agree with you on that. Most "bibles" are full of crap like this. Nothing refined, just, or rational about it... ____________________________________ Sura 33: 65. ALLAH has, surely, cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a blazing fire, 33: 66. Wherein they will abide forever. They will find therein no friend, nor helper. 33: 67. On the day when their faces are turned over into the fire they will say, `O, would that we had obeyed ALLAH and obeyed the Messenger 33: 68. And they will say, `Our Lord, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones and they led us astray from the way, 33: 69. `Our Lord, give them double punishment and curse them with a mighty curse. Sura 8: 13. When thy Lord revealed to the angels, saying, `I am with you; so make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Smite them above their necks, and smite off all finger-tips. 8: 14. That is because they have opposed ALLAH and HIS Messenger. And whoso opposes ALLAH and HIS Messenger, Then ALLAH is surely Severe in retribution. 8: 15. That is your punishment, taste it then; and remember that for disbelievers there is the punishment of the Fire. 8: 16. O ye who believe ! when you meet those who disbelieve, advancing in force, turn not your backs to them. 8: 17. And whoso turns his back to them on such a day, unless manoeuvring for battle or turning to join another company, he indeed draws upon himself the wrath of ALLAH, and Hell shall be his abode. And an evil resort it is. Sura 9: 30. And the Jews say, `Ezra is the son of ALLAH,' and the Christians say, `the Messiah is the son of ALLAH;' that is what they say with their mouths. They only imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before them. ALLAH's curse be on them ! How they are turned away. Sura 5: 52. O ye who believe ! take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends of each other. And whoso among you takes them for friends is indeed one of them. Verily ALLAH guides not the unjust people. Sura 4:161. So, because of the transgression of the Jews, WE forbade them pure things which had been allowed to them, and also because of their hindering many men from ALLAH's way, Sura 5: 34. The only reward of those, who wage war against ALLAH and HIS Messenger and strive to create disorder in the land, is that they be slain or crucified or their hands and feet be cut off on account of their enmity, or they be expelled from the land. That shall be a disgrace for them in this world, and in the Hereafter they shall have a great punishment;
