Please understand that i love all people including the people of Islam. But before anyone can come to truth that have to identify the false things as well that appear to be truth. In the christian faith we learn that satan is the author of confusion. I really do not think anyone would disagree with that as we all know satan does not want anyone to come to the truth of God.
Please explain the problem with truth from these parts oft he quran?
Is Religion Compulsive Or Is It Not?
Quran 02: 256 There is no Compulsion in religion….
OR
Quran 9: 29 Fight those who do not profess the true faith(Islam) till they pay the polltax (jiziya) with the hand of humility.
Quran 9: 5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolators wherever ye find them and take them captive, and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush….
Quran 47: 4 When you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads….
Quran 2: 191 and Quran 8:65 also

IF the quran is telling you confussion then satan is indeed the author of it.

Very valid question. I'm shocked that it contains such statement. No God would ever want to kill anyone, believers or non-believers, they are all His children.
Its like a parent asking his children to kill their dis-obeying siblings. What nonsense.

Your questions are valid, please ask the person who can answer.
I also had similar doubts, and everybody has it - whether he is muslim or non muslim and only correct knowledge will solve it.
I just went little more in depth of verses you mentioned. Please go throgh it.
2: 256 : Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand- hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things.
9:29: Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
9:5 :But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
47:4 :Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been God's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of God,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
2:191 : And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

Excellent! Well said but If Muslims believe in confusion they will not believe in sense!

Yada yada yada, same as the bible, there are massive incosistencies in both for which apologists have answers. Its all myth.
