If you read these, you see they are about self defense, and also telling the reader that if the person you are defending yourself from stops, then you must stop too. It also says don't go overboard in protecting yourself, just do what you need to stay alive and protect yourself. This does not mean to go around killing innocent people. Self defense is not killing those who are not muslim. Self defense is just that. If physically attacked, fight back. If the attacker stops, you stop too. And why was verse 192 left out of the Answering Islam site? Is it because it made people really think about this? It says if the attacker stops, then good, all is forgiven.

Are you able to see it?
Here is the comparison

From the Answering Islam site:

Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits, for Allah does not love transgressors. 2:190

And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out, for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. 2:191

And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and let there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. 2:193

And this is from the Quran itself

[002:190] Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.

[002:191] And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

[002:192] But if they desist, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[002:193] And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers.

Just to back-up what you said. Do you know that you can do sins and they will not be considered as sins if it keeps you alive? In the question you can see that Allah clearly states that fight those fighting you, do you know that a Muslim can kill a Muslim & Allah will fogive him, although killing is one of the greatest sins in Islam? That's only in a situation of self defence. If a Muslim attacks a Muslim intending to kill him, the attacked has to fight back to stay alive, and if the attacked kills the attacker, then the attacker who is killed will go to hell (jahanam) because of the intentions. So, this does not imply on non-Muslims only, it implies on ALL.

U know what, I have read so many books which does exactly that. The writer just takes up phrases and puts it in his book. Sometimes, the writer just skips some verses like they did in Answering Islam.

For eg. the Book: The World Of Fatwas by Arunshuri (I might have misspelled the wirter's name)
