“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. If you should be suffering – so are they suffering as you are suffering, but you expect from Allah that which they expect not. “And do not weaken in pursuit of the enemy. Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy.” “And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt you.

That being said, I completely disagree with the Islam religion and belief system. In fact, I would venture to guess that many American Muslims today don’t even know about these violent verses in the Quran.
