IV.138:   Those who believe,  then disbelieve,  then again believe,  then disbelieve  and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never forgive them nor will He guide them to the right way.

Osama bin LadenIV.89:   They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then   seize them and kill them wherever you find them,  and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

IV.92: 
 And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by mistake, and   whoever kills a believer by mistake, he should free a believing slave ,  and blood-money should be paid to his people unless they remit it as alms; but if he be from a tribe hostile to you and he is a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (suffices), and if he is from a tribe between whom and you there is a covenant, the blood-money should be paid to his people along with the freeing of a believing slave; but he who cannot find (a slave) should fast for two months successively: a penance from Allah, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

The Roman numerals are the SURAs of the Koran, similar to the books of the Bible.  The chapters of the sura follows. You can verify this text and read more by going to a Koran website, such as this one at the University of Virginia.

XVI.8: It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, and if you (again return to disobedience) We too will return (to punishment), and We have made hell a prison for the unbelievers.

II.161:   Surely those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers, these it is on whom is the curse of Allah and the angels and men all;

 IX. 5-6:   Kill those who join other gods with God wherever you may find them.

IV.76:   Those who believe fight in the cause of God.

IV.74: Let those who fight in the cause of God who barter the life of this world for that which is to come; for whoever fights on God's path, whether he is killed or triumphs, We will give him a handsome reward.

VIII.39-42:   Say to the Infidels: if they desist from their unbelief, what is now past shall be forgiven; but if they return to it, they have already before them the doom of the ancients! Fight then against them till strife be at an end, and the religion be all of it God's.



"There may be moderate Muslims, but Islam itself is not moderate. There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism. At most there is a difference of degree but not of kind."

 -- Ibn Warraq,
executive director of the Institute for the Secularization of Islamic Society

 Faith-based!

Many of Islam's central documents call to violence.

Then when the Sacred Months have passed, then kill the Mushrikûn (Jews - see V.82) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salât (Keep up prayer - Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât ( - pay the poor-rate), then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[IV.89]

Patriotism is the conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
-- George B. Shaw
And so I believe that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty creator.  In standing guard against the Jew.  I am defending the handiwork of the Lord.

  The Sayings of Ayatollah Khomeini
by R. Khomeini

*  "The sperm of any animal whose blood spurts when its throat is cut is impure."
*  "If a man sodomizes the son, brother, or father of his wife after their marriage, the marriage remains valid. "
*  "Wine and all intoxicating beverages are impure, but opium and hashish are not. "
*  "During sexual intercourse, if the penis enters a woman's vagina or a man's anus, fully or only as far as the circumcision
ring, both partners become impure, even if they have not reached puberty; they must consequently perform ablutions."
*  "If the man thinks that he has not entered the woman's vagina beyond the circumcision ring, ablution is not required."
*  "If a man -God protect him from it!- fornicates with an animal and ejaculates, ablution is necessary"
*  "If a man becomes aroused by a woman other than his wife but then has intercourse with his own wife, it is preferable for
him not to pray if he has sweated; but if he first has intercourse with his spouse and then with another woman, he may
say his prayers even though he be in sweat."

-- Ayatollah Khomeini

The existence of her child was all the evidence the judge needed.

"We uphold your conviction of death by stoning as prescribed by the Sharia" (Iislamic law).

An Islamic appeal court has upheld a sentence of death by stoning for adultery against a Nigerian woman.

Amina Lawal, 30, was found guilty by a court in Katsina state in March after bearing a child outside marriage.

US Theologians:

Pat Robertson --
 "I have taken issue with our esteemed president in regard to this stand in [his] saying [that] Islam is a peaceful religion.  It's just not.  And the Koran makes it clear, if you see an infidel, you kill him". [external - CNN:  Ministers preach war on Islam ]

Rev. Franklin Graham --
    The Moslem faith is "a very evil and very wicked religion". [external - Dallas News ]
