It actually emphasises that even cutting a single tree of your enemy is a crime. The basis of a war is only permissable if an attacking group is trying to extuingish the religion. There is no other valid reason for war.
There is a passage in there that specifically states that the choice of religion is upto the individual.
Jihad does not mean kill all westeners, it means inner struggle, self improvement.

At least this was the Islam that I was taught, I know that not many Muslims follow even the basic principles any more. Eponine, the discrimination that you and your mother faced in Eygpt is inexcusable, it is a black mark on my religion when every time, someone claiming to be Muslim kills someone or does something completely against the basic laws.


Absolutely right brother
