I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty -- I call it the one mortal blemish of mankind. the same people wrote the bible that thought the world was flat. "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."

You have to read the verses immediately before and immediately after to put it in perspective. Not only that, but you have to understand that many times the Qu'ran is reffering to specific event and a specific people. Why didn't you quote the verses that say, "And if they fight you not in the path of Allah, then establish peaceful relationships with them". There are many verses indicating that Muslims are only aloud to fight if it is against oppression and tyranny, they are not aloud to fight someone just because they are not Muslim, the Qu'ran states, "There is no compulsion in religion."You should read the whole Qu'ran instead of just pulling a few verses out of context that you found on an anti-Islamic website.
