ok, well if your position is that the Qur'an expressly advises violence against Jews and Christians who are faithful--even though Jews don't believe that Christ was the Son--then you still have no leg to stand on. I will grant that there are passages that a Christian can misinterpret, and you have found one.
Score one against their dogma. There are some others. Of course, you are taking a definition of
fought here that is not intended. I am not here to defend anyone's dogma, but you are making a case with one passage, and not applying many, many others. The context in which the Qur'an was written is also being ignored; the RCC--literally 'those who claim they believe...' at that time--was making hell on earth then.
If what you say is true, then it would be impossible for me to, say, find an image of devout Muslims praying with any Jews or Christians (or for that matter cooperating with them in any way, as that would not be
fighting). Would that be a fair assumption?
