if you want to understand the quran, you need the hadiths too, because only then you see the historical context. just read this http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/023-violence.htm the most disgustin things start at sura 8 and if you want a comparison of both christianity and islam, read this http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/Jesus-Muhammad.htm comparing jesus and mohammed, and the bible with the quran |
1. You are wrong. The orders to kill "nonBelievers" (btw, that is not a Christian or Jew as they are also believers in the Qur'an viewpoint) were during times of war during Islams development. They were just as historical as any killing verses in the Bible.
2. You don't need the Hadiths. In fact the Qur'an forbades the use of any other book outside of "Gods word" and the Hadiths are not Gods words. They are supposed quotes and actions the Prophet did. The Hadiths actually contradict each other and the Qur'an often and they are the reason Islam is the way it is in Muslim world.
The Hadith's were written down generations after the Prophet died and they most definitely do not represent Islam based on what is described in the Qur'an. They are the works of people who simply wanted control and power.
Additionally, they are not the only sources of history on the time period and that website was written so biasly its obvious you need a new source. Try actually reading the various English translations from the link I gave you. By reading a few of them you can determine the best English way of representing the Arabic intent.
Finally, I'm at work at those links are blocked for some reason. Give me the actual surah/verse and I will be happy to discuss it with you.
btw, your Mohommad/Jesus comparison is silly. They came with different purposes and different times/situations. Jesus came into Judaism where Judaism was already popular. Mohommad came with the beleif of one God where that was extreamly unpopular and was taken as an attack on the entire way of life for Arabs in Meccah at that time. Furthermore, your history of Jesus is greatly distorted through years of manipulation by his followers. A study of religious history around Christianity proves that the events in the Gospels are definitely not the full story, have contradictions, and have been written by many authors as well as manipulated over the last nearly 2000 years.
