Brother Momodou Camara,

Thank you for forwarding  this clarification. I was about to respond to 
Habibs' post stating that this verse is not in the Qur'an. It is indeed in 
the Qur'an as you pointed out, but definitely quoted out of context to 
further inspire discord. I am glad that you have added the parts of the verse 
they deliberately ommitted. Allah is never unjust and He never directs his 
followers to be unjust.

There are extremists in every religion, but there are also those who are 
looking for every possible way to term muslims as extremists and fanatics. 
All one needs is the buzz word Terrorists these days, and omit a verse or 
two, and you have the ammunition you need to spread senseless panic.

Jabou Joh
