There are many verses from the Quran that order Muslims to fight. Some examples are [2:216; 8:65; 9:29; 9:123; 4:77; 47:20] and many other verses. To carry out God's orders, prophet Muhammed was engaged in more than 35 wars!
My question is: How come God the all almighty needs people to defend him? I thought that if god wants to defeat pagans or spread Islam, he would do it without need for fighting.

Maybe they fighted because they were attacked first?! huh It is not like Muslims just go to wars and fight.
The first verse of Koran is about learning in the name of God Allmighty. So, I think in Koran learning is more important than fighting.
God doesnt need people to defend him. People defend themselves. So Muhammad did not defend God, but himself and his followers.

But I see you have "found" few new verses when you were "reading" the Quran, so here are rest of them.
Quran 9:27-29:
[9:27] Ultimately, GOD redeems whomever He wills. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[9:28] O you who believe, the idol worshipers are polluted; they shall not be permitted to approach the Sacred Masjid after this year. If you fear loss of income, GOD will shower you with His provisions, in accordance with His will. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.
[9:29] You shall fight back against those who do not believe in GOD, nor in the Last Day, nor do they prohibit what GOD and His messenger have prohibited, nor do they abide by the religion of truth - among those who received the scripture - until they pay the due tax, willingly or unwillingly.
Quran 9:123:
[9:123] O you who believe, you shall fight the disbelievers who attack you - let them find you stern - and know that GOD is with the righteous.
Quran 2:216:
[2:216] Fighting may be imposed on you, even though you dislike it. But you may dislike something which is good for you, and you may like something which is bad for you. GOD knows while you do not know.
Got anymore verese that you would like to misquote of take out of the context?

My dear friend I am happy to c u again, yet again I would say, and this time again with sense but with addition of "non". You already failed to answer to my last query and yet again you have come up with a brilliant new question. Again and again you only paste questions in order to create some sort of rift among different religions. For if at all you believe in 'any' religion you will first see all these "flaws" in your own scripture. However, since you may also be just a curios sole (which I seriously doubt) and you are taking the word of Quran as it deemed fit to you than you must read these two examples as well 10:94-97 & 30:58. I will be sure glad to explain them to you if you are willing?

I think u haven't enough study about islam history. the most of wars that mohammad have had was defencive ones, first they attacked by others and then they defended. and in the other hand, u shouldn't see terrorists actions as islam advices. islam is just an eccuse for terrorists. i want u to read the holly book of muslims just 4 oncce and 4sure ur idea will be changed

God nor Muhammed want those things. Sadly it is people who come up with such negative words and use gods name to Carry out horrible deeds. It always makes me mad when people try to humanize god. Emotions such as anger, hate, jealousy are not from god, they are from humans.
