Every ideology that has survived past its inception has incorporated violence as a method of self-preservation against ideologies antagonistic to it and heresies. While there is certainly a degree of difference between Islam and most other modern religions, that difference is simply because modern Islam is significantly more invasive in society and thus it has more antagonistic to it ideologies and heresies to combat. A matter of scale.
So you're saying there's not a world of difference between:
"If you leave Islam, you are not innocent."
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Quran (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"
Qur'an (4:89) - "They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper."
Qur'an (9:11-12) - "But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge. And if they break their pledges after their treaty (hath been made with you) and assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief - Lo! they have no binding oaths - in order that they may desist."
Bukhari (52:260) - "...The Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "
As well as: Qur'an verses 2:217, 9:73-74, 88:21, 5:54, and 9:66.
If you are a homosexual, you are not innocent.
al-Tirmidhi, Sunan 1:152 - [Muhammad said] "Whoever is found conducting himself in the manner of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the receiver."
Qur'an (7:80-84)- "...For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)"
If you are a man and dresses like a woman, you are not innocent.
Bukhari (72:774) - "The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, 'Turn them out of your houses .' The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and 'Umar turned out such-and-such woman."
If you criticize Allah, his prophets and his friends, you are not innocent.
Qur'an (33:57) - "Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in this world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained... accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter."
Bukhari (59:369) This verse outlines some of what is mentioned elsewhere in this thread. The murder of a Jewish poet who wrote a poem which insulted Mohammed because it mocked Muslims.
If you disbelieve Allah (pretty much everyone in this subreddit), you are not innocent.
This is already covered pretty extensively in my first few quotes as well. "Non-believers" typically relates to atheists, but can also mean people not of the book or even in some cases Jews/Christians. "Hypocrites" is generally the term for apostates or those who don't adhere to clearly set out rules and "fight in the way of Allah" (Which is why there's so many Muslim to Muslim murders). Both are pretty clearly described as non-innocents though:
Quran (33:60-62) -"If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter."
And Sikhism's "don't let anyone be forcibly converted nearby"?
I really don't think you know as much about Islam as you claim to do. You don't know anything about it, in fact.
P.S. I'd highly advise you to look up Jainism.
Aren't there also bible verses in the opposite direction? Like swords to plowshares?
There's quite a lot of peaceful Christian quotes, as well as no clear method of abrogation in Christianity. Compared with Islam's abrogation (the last verse is the true one and all earlier ones are essentially rendered null), it's a whole different board game.
Combine that with the Bible being converted from Aramaic -> Greek -> Latin -> Everything else and you've got a mess of possibly interpretations. Islam doesn't have that because Islam's ideology is inherently pure. As Erdogan said, "Islam is Islam".
Erdogan is not a good source to quote, he says and does some pretty screwed up shit:
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/default.aspx?pageid=438&n=a-muslim-can-never-commit-genocide-erdogan-defends-bashir-2009-11-08
The statement came hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan defended al-Bashir’s visit by saying, “A Muslim can never commit genocide.”
He's about as credible on the subject of muslims as a holocaust denier is on WWII.
There's the thing, though. He's
right. If Muslims aren't genociding other Muslims, it's not genocide under Sharia law.
