Once again, you are misunderstanding. I'm in an American school, I don't learn about Islam or any religion, that's education. I was talking about my personal life, where I am learning about Islam outside of school buddy.

"that's my interpretation atleast" it's not just yours buddy, but it's the interpretation of all the critics of Islam, and it's quite a common quote to use against it as well. I don't blame you for attempting to manipulate the readers, because you probably just found this quote on your favorite anti-Islam-ic website. Anyways, after doing a tiny bit of research on that verse, it seems that you completely left out major parts of it.
According to you and the rest of the critics, this verse allows the muslims to kill a pagan, or a non-muslim, anywhere and at anytime. This verse (9:5) is taken completely out of context, if you took your time to read the rest of the verses in that section, I wouldn't be here telling you that you just got brainwashed. Let's just take a look at a few verses of that section because I don't want to waste my time or yours (
https://quran.com/9/1); in (9:1), the Quran states "[This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allah and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists." which means that there was a treaty between the Pagans and the Muslims, and in (9:4) it states that Allah will punish those who broke the treaty, and only those who broke the treaty, but not the ones who abided by it. Then in (9:5)(the verse you used against me) it is clear that it is about the war between the Muslims and the Pagan Arabs (who broke the treaty) and then after that in (9:13) it states, "Would you not fight the people who broke their oaths and determined to expel the Messenger, and they had begun to attack you first?" which is further evidence that the Muslims did not start the war. This is a fine example of, pardon my language, scumbags that love to take shit out of context. Ofcourse, I was able to respond to you with further research, like I've stated to @
Lunatic, that I am still learning more and more about my religion because I'm still young. I just really wish that you would read the text surrounding the violent verses to understand the story, like wtf, didn't they teach you this at school? to know what your topic is about before establishing an opinion? whatever. English is not my first language so I'm sorry for any mistakes.
