I am never shocked at seeing muslims in these kind of protests, it's like knowing 2+2=4

Hey Blackout, I think you're a little rude here.
Poor old Stimbo's been waiting patiently waiting for an answer and you just jump the cue and demand answers from our well rounded nice guy friend "OceanWave".
Look on your left ...there's a ticket machine there ...grab one before they're gone!
He he.

"The Repentance - سورة التوبة
[9:5] And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah(taxes), let them go on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
"

When you read a particular verse of the Quran, if it is not clear, you have to try and consider the context of a particular verse.

This verse refers to those pagans who would continue to fight after the period of peace. It clearly commands the Muslims to protect those who seek peace and are non-combatants. It is a specific verse with a specific ruling and can in no way be applied to general situations. The command of the verse was only to be applied in the event of a battle.

Therefore, if the pagans would not cease their hostilities towards the Muslims, then they were to be fought, especially since they were living in the land of an Islamic state.

This is all about self-defense, which Islam clearly emphasize on throughout the Quran. It's pure justice.

Thank you.

Peace.

Peace.

You mean the conquest of North Africa, Spain, etc was "self defence"?

Yeah, right.

Is there such a think as pre-emptive self defence?

Oh, and assuming you're another sock account: BYEEEEE!

Oh for fucks sake, another "consider the context" attempt? Is there anything yall won't crib from the christians? The context is simple, a desperate need to whitewash the history of a faith no more or less violent than any other on earth.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
