John I understood everything but this particular para. was a little confusing and I think it is probably important as regards the current trend of the violence done in the name of Islam and the Western (non Islamic) viewpoint.

I have assumed that their actions are based on certain codex and/or interpretations that allow them the actions they take based on the non humanity of those who reject Islam.

Some Quranic verses I found:
9:123: “Oh ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find harshness in you.”

2:191- “Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from wherever they drove you out.”

5: 45-- “We ordained therein for them: “Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear. Tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.”

2:193- “Fight them on until there is no more tumult and religion becomes that of Allah

9:29- "Fight those who do not believe in God and the last day... and fight People of the Book, who do not accept the religion of truth until they pay tribute by hand, being inferior.”

8:17-It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..”

Really appreciate your effort
