    Its quite blatantly obvious nobody who comkits atrocities in the name of the text actually reads the texts. If they did they wouldn’t find time to do the atrocities or generally spread chaos.

      “Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.”

      Isis and Hamas are literally doing what their holy book tells them to.

      I’m open to other interpretations of what that verse means but it seems pretty clear to me.

        This verse is about going to war with people who broke a peace treaty. You skipped the parts before that.

        https://quran.com/9/4

        As for the polytheists who have honoured every term of their treaty with you and have not supported an enemy against you, honour your treaty with them until the end of its term. Surely Allah loves those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.
