Is "peaceful muslim" an oxymoron?

Question

Death for apostasy:
Sura 4:89 They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,”

Kill Disbelievers in a cruel fashion:
Sura 5:33: "Those who make war with Allah and his messenger will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. That is how they will be treated in this world, and in the next they will have an awful doom."

Slit throats of unbelievers:
Quran Sura 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 Allah'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 Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.

Amputation for petty theft:
Quran Sura 5:38: Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done—a deterrent from God: God is almighty and wise.

Killing unbelievers:
9:123. O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.

Dont be friends with Jews or Christians:
Sura 5:51: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your allies and protectors: They are but allies and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Kill disbelievers:
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.

Permission for a muslim man to beat his wife if she doesnt obey him:
Sura 4:34: “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”

Answer 1

My girlfriend is Muslim, and she's a peacenik.

Answer 2

While you are busy being a Pharisee and slandering Muslims, check this out: Joshua 8: 24-26. That's in the Bible--which you've apparently never read.

Answer 3

May the peace, blessings and mercy of God be upon you

Continue reading the propaganda websites, its your own freedom, but if you want to really know what the other 6658 (99.8%)verses say read the whole thing. But just remember

"For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!"

If your wondering why I haven't refuted your claims its because I have done so many times before, the verses have context and stipulations.

Peace Be With You

Answer 4

Let's explore the peaceful bible, shall we?

Lot refuses to give up his angels to the perverted mob, offering his two "virgin daughters" instead. He tells the bunch of angel rapers to "do unto them [his daughters] as is good in your eyes." This is the same man that is called "just" and "righteous" in 2 Peter 2:7-8. 19:7-8

"For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth." Exodus

For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death." Leviticus

If a man "lies" with his daughter-in-law, then both must be killed. Leviticus 20:12

Anyone who blasphemes or curses shall be stoned to death by the entire community. Leviticus 24:16

If your brother, son, daughter, wife, or friend tries to get you to worship another god, "thou shalt surely kill him, thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death." Deuteronomy 13:6-10

42,000 men are killed because someone mispronounces "shibboleth." Judges 12:6

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Psalms 137:9

Answer 5

Oh please. You can go through the bible and find just as many references to acts of violence and vengeance. Muslims have a doctrine and tradition of peace... as do Christians. Muslims have a history of making war on non-believers... as do Christians. Muslims believe in the teachings of some guy putzing around in the desert in the middle east hundreds of years ago... as do Christians.
