Well first of all. It is a hostile religion i will say that.
Basically here is a verse that says in the next last chapter in a historical view of revelation. I think the last chapter was 110 but its nothing much of interest in it from what i know
In either case most are familiar with this verse
Surah 9:29
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
The question is what does it mean to fight? Well i am sure there are different methods. From my memory of reading Sahih al-bukhari they glorify martyrdom constantly. There is an entire book on that. I think Book 56 Jihad and Book 64 Military expeditions. Or maybe the name title was the opposite, been awhile since i read those.
In either case. The question is does this mean all muslims now just have to go on a jihad course. While holy wars is a part of the religion its not everything. I'll explain with these verse in terms of people in general aka unbelievers.
Surah 9:7
How can there be for the polytheists a treaty in the sight of Allah and with His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at al-Masjid al-Haram? So as long as they are upright toward you, be upright toward them. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].
Read more further from here if you wish its not so friendly that i can tell
Well this is the reason why for example your muslim friend wont kill you, although some may interpret this just in context of these polytheists but if thats the case then you can do that to every surah in that chapter in either case it can be used as a justisification to be upright towards non muslims from what i get.
Bias information like for example David Wood who i partly agree with but is so bias on other stuff to justify his belief is incredibly dishonest, although the same could be said about islamic apologetics too or fundamentalists on the internet. Either case it is yes a hostile religion but basically to translate, if you act nicely towards your friend then no problem we are cool. But its deffinetely a hostile religion, the problem is the distorted view is more or less that they are robots who cant think by some people. I mean fundamentalists may be crazy though but sometimes bigotry seems to get the best in people instead of reasons.
While i certainly think we can do better than religious fundamentalism in the future in terms of values. But that is just me.
