Verse of the Sword

from The Islamic Center of Pittsburgh Sound Lights · host ICP Web Manager

The so-called "Verse of the Sword" is the oft-cited verse of the Quran that is used by critics of Islam as evidence that Islam is a religion of violence and intolerance that demands Muslims to kill non-believers until they submit to Islam. Is this true? Is Islam as violent as they claim? Sheikh Atef explains the history behind the revelation of this verse and outlines the scholarly opinions of the commentators on this very controversial, oft-misunderstood ayah of the Quran.
