More work place violence in tennessee

I've seen both sides' arguments about the context and meaning. As always in today's divided world, it depends on whom you choose as the most credible.

Edit: I want to add something to this. The fact that people can disagree on the meaning of specific phrases based on interpretation of context provides an opening to the only users that matter - radical Islamists. It doesn't matter what you, I, or Souf think the Quran says. If 100+ million people believe it says they should kill infidels, then it represents a problem.
Perhaps some people Are not actually reading the text, but are instead only listening to others interpret for them?

Some people are that lazy and easily led.

You can read the verse as written...it doesn't say what you think it does.

Yes, it does. I have read it.

Or is this going be another exercise in your stating a religious text says something it doesn't, while refusing to substantiate it.
You said they don't say what I claim. I can only conclude that you have researched the text already and determined what you claim. Therefore, my posting it would be a total waste of time. I don't choose to waste my time doing that for you.

Besides, you only care about 1 thing - Laura Bush killed a man.
 
There's a whole bunch of Koranic passages condoning violence which reflects the tribal culture of the time it was written. The only system set up to prevent never-ending clan and tribal feuds in Arabia was a system for blood money payments and it didn't exactly always work. So, when dealing with non-Arabs who weren't Muslim, they were presumed to be an even bigger potential threat who needed to be forcefully suppressed and even wiped out. Most of that attitude died out very quickly in the early days of the Caliphate and Muslims, especially the ones in Persia and Mesopotamia, became the most cosmopolitan people in the world for a long time. The xenophobia was resurrected later and it became very strong in most Muslim countries.

15 years ago most Muslims were not exposed to what supporting physical jihad actually entailed and so support for jihadis was higher. Now they've seen 15 years of way more Muslims being killed by jihadis than Muslims being killed by Westerners, and that the West isn't so weak and cowardly or as blindly hostile to Muslims and Islam as they were told by jihadis and jihadi sympathizers. Support for jihadism has dropped, very very substantially in some Muslim countries and by a good amount in almost all of them.

As I figured, shirk away now.
