What is your problem with Islam? Think about it

[WinterHold]

But what about these verses from the Quran, which contradicts the above?



and

Not very encouraging like 60 8 it tells not to make wars with those that don't make wars with you and that Allah likes those that are good. But what is that "good"?

It was mentioned in the verse what it means to be good towards those who don't fight you:

Sura 60, The Quran:

( 8 )   Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.

The bald part cannot be clearer, I mean it defines itself; really. Literally the verse is saying: "if somebody doesn't expel you from your home, or doesn't fight you because of your religion, then act "righteously" and "justly" towards them, because God loves those who act justly, and doing what God loves is what a Muslim should do".

If you want definition for a word already defined million times until it became a "linguistic" value used in speech, then I apologize but I have nothing to say.

The question that needs to be answered to interpret the meaning of the rest of the suras that you pasted that only say "do good" but that good might mean a lot of things, like kill Christians, Jews, Hindus and others. I mean Quran is pretty specific what to do with non Muslims, like:

Doing good is doing good. Doing good =/= killing. Again; it is defining itself. If somebody tells you "do good", in a serious manor, and you go butcher a whole town, then I will seriously re-think your mental stability.

O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

Yes. That's true. Taking non-believers as allies is a disaster, they rarely take Muslims seriously, and frankly they use the weaknesses of Islamic populations in a very obvious ways. If you want historical examples I can list them to you; but the last of them was what the British Empire did to its Muslim allies after WW1, which led to the nightmare of Israel.

The examples are many. Trump and his raids on Arab oil money is another. Taking non-believers as allies ends up with a knife in the back and a nuclear missile aimed to your head, and evil dictators from your own kin taking support from non-believers to shoot you down and rob your cash.

The examples are also many: Assad attacks Muslim children with chemo but get Russia to cover for him, the Sauds butchering their people but get American support -and their crown prince gets to meet the queen of England-, and so on.

[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip."

I love that verse.
It was revealed to Mohammed because of a battle with the heathens. But allow me to quote the whole context:

Sura 8, The Quran:
( 1 )   They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the bounties [of war]. Say, "The [decision concerning] bounties is for Allah and the Messenger." So fear Allah and amend that which is between you and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you should be believers.
( 2 )   The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely -
( 3 )   The ones who establish prayer, and from what We have provided them, they spend.
( 4 )   Those are the believers, truly. For them are degrees [of high position] with their Lord and forgiveness and noble provision.
( 5 )   [It is] just as when your Lord brought you out of your home [for the battle of Badr] in truth, while indeed, a party among the believers were unwilling,
( 6 )   Arguing with you concerning the truth after it had become clear, as if they were being driven toward death while they were looking on.
( 7 )   [Remember, O believers], when Allah promised you one of the two groups - that it would be yours - and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours. But Allah intended to establish the truth by His words and to eliminate the disbelievers
( 8 )   That He should establish the truth and abolish falsehood, even if the criminals disliked it.
( 9 )   [Remember] when you asked help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another."
( 10 )   And Allah made it not but good tidings and so that your hearts would be assured thereby. And victory is not but from Allah. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
( 11 )   [Remember] when He overwhelmed you with drowsiness [giving] security from Him and sent down upon you from the sky, rain by which to purify you and remove from you the evil [suggestions] of Satan and to make steadfast your hearts and plant firmly thereby your feet.
( 12 )   [Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip."
( 13 )   That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger - indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.
( 14 )   "That [is yours], so taste it." And indeed for the disbelievers is the punishment of the Fire.
( 15 )   O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [for battle], do not turn to them your backs [in flight].
( 16 )   And whoever turns his back to them on such a day, unless swerving [as a strategy] for war or joining [another] company, has certainly returned with anger [upon him] from Allah, and his refuge is Hell - and wretched is the destination.
( 17 )   And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
( 18 )   That [is so], and [also] that Allah will weaken the plot of the disbelievers.
( 19 )   If you [disbelievers] seek the victory - the defeat has come to you. And if you desist [from hostilities], it is best for you; but if you return [to war], We will return, and never will you be availed by your [large] company at all, even if it should increase; and [that is] because Allah is with the believers.

So it was a battle. And God was telling the believers -and Mohammed- to deliver a good fight, but if the disbelievers at Mecca stop, then Muslims should also stop. It is mentioned explicitly in verse 19 of the same Sura; but the cherry picking chooses one verse from the middle.

2 191

And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers

The above Sura -which I quoted- says a lot about why Muslims were ordered to "fight those who fight them already".
BTW the using M4 Carbine or AK-47 or maybe a drone is the same thing -or maybe even worse- that is mentioned in the verse above.

The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?

Yes. God is furious with Jews. Even Jews themselves say that; didn't he cast them into the exile??
