“Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.”
[The Koran: Sûrah al-Baqarah: 256]
No Compulsion in Religion

Christians justify war, too, so for them to decry jihad is hypocrisy.
thats interseting but isn’t really an answer. Islam’s history has clearly shown that where there is a resister there is acttack to convert. Many spin doctors will say they are only protecting themselves. The reality is it usually isn’t self defence. Having said that most christain religions are guilty of the same thing. But its a bit rich to quote from the Koran something that in practice is not practised. take care
I know what you mean and maybe some of the wars that were waged after the death of the prophet Mohamed weren’t only for defence just like in Christianity, but that doesn’t change the fact that God tells us in the Koran that there should be no compulsion in religion.
Now whether that is followed or not in real life all depends on the people.
If they don’t follow it, it’s their problem, but it still doesn’t change the facts about what it really teaches.
