Bible And Quranic Study On The Topic Of War/Fighting

Think about this, in relation to the war in Iraq:
This by no means me attempting to down today's version of Christianity entirely.


BIBLE:
"And the Lord said, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

9:6 Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the elderly men who [were] before the house.

9:7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

Ezek. 9:5-7


Qur'an:
[60:8]

"GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable. "

"If they withdraw from you and fight you not, but (instead) send you (guarantees of) peace, then God alloweth no way for you (to war against them)" (4:90).

"If the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God" (8:61)
