Q12. Host: Is it true that the Quran is all about peace?

Answer

Dr. Labib: Oh, no. The Koran incites the Muslims to fight, and verse after verse after verse, there is a verse in Sourat Al Anfal, "Oh prophet Mohammed, incites the Muslims to fight. And then again, he said, "Fight those people of the Scripture." Who are the people of the Scripture? The Jews and the Christians who have the Bible. "Fight them, until they are converted to Islam, or they have to pay a high tax. If they want to maintain their religion as Jews and Christians, they have to pay to the Muslim government a special tax to keep their religion." And one verse after another, "Kill the Jews, kill the Christians."And I want to tell you something. The one who fights the Christians and the Jews, and is killed, is the one who will be guaranteed total forgiveness of the sins, and a direct way to Paradise. And this is why you see those people who made the suicide bombing, and things like that. Why do they put a bomb and kill themselves? Because they think that when they kill themselves that way, they will be headed directly to Heaven, I mean to Paradise. And when they go to Paradise, each one of them will have 100 women!
