''O believers,'' the Koran says (Sura 5,Verse 50), ''do not hold Jews and Christians as your allies. They are the allies of one another; and anyone who makes them his friends is surely one of them.''

''slay the idolaters wheresoever you find them'' (Sura 9, Verse 5)

Sura 5, verse 85 prophesies an inevitable conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims: ''Strongest among men in enmity to the Believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans.''

Sura 9, verse 5 adds, ''Then fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them. And seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them, in every stratagem (of war).''

Sura 5:51 says, ''O ye who believe (Muslims), take not the Jews or the Christians for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he among you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.''
''Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Mohammed) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) until they pay the Jizyah (a special high tax to be paid only by Jews and Christians who do not renounce their faith and convert to Islam) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.'' — Sura 9:29.
