Synopsis
The Sword Verse, Q 9.5 is arguably the most powerful verse in Islam's holiest book. According to Muslim scholars, the Sword verse abrogates over a hundred pacifist verses that call for peaceful coexistence and religious tolerance with non-Muslims. This aptly named verse ("...slay the idolaters wherever you find them...") allegedly was revealed to Muhammad after the earlier pacifist verses, which means its command takes precedence.
This book is an extensive examination of the Sword verse, providing the historical context that preceded its introduction and analyzing the Quranic challenges to its supremacy. It also presents the interpretations of this controversial verse by notable Muslim scholars, and how these explanations influence its application in today's world.
Noteworthy Resources in this study include a Detailed Table of 129 verses abrogated by the Sword verse, with commentary and references, paired with its own Index to help readers locate particular abrogated verses by specific topic and issue.
This book discusses, and try to answer many questions, among them:
* What is the history and application of the Sword verse since its "revelation"?
* How does the Sword verse impact the politics, culture, and traditions of Islam?
* How do Muslim "moderate" view jihad?
* When Islamic terrorist groups, such as Islamic State, apply the Sword verse, are they radical or righteous Muslims?
* Is Islam really a religion of peace?

The Sword Verse: Qur'anic Weapon Against Peace?
Seller: Book Dispensary, Concord, ON, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: As New. BRAND NEW softcover; The thoughtful reader of the Qur'an will probably pause in confusion, for how does one reconcile this verse with tens of other verses that call for tolerance, such as Q 2.256 (Pickthall trans.): "There is no compulsion in religion." The baffled reader encounters two contrasting spirits, as if facing the conflicted protagonist of Robert Louis Stevenson's novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A kind of schizophrenia seems incarnated in the Qur'an with its verses of peace (which resemble the character of Dr. Jekyll) and its verses of killing (which reflect the character of Mr. Hyde), and the reader is left to ponder these questions:Why does the Qur'an's text present a double personality?How can a Muslim take the Qur'an as the guide for living one's life when it has two contrasting spirits?Which should the Muslim follow: the verses that reflect Jekyll or Hyde?.
