They are hate-lovers

We censure the move of 300 ignorant French signatories who in an open letter have demanded revision of the Quran for spreading violence against the Jews and the Christians. In view of this I inform them that the Quran is the words of Allah and none has authority to change. He says, “And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
The Quran does not at all swell violence, rather condemns. Let me quote several verses from the Quran that they understand and perceive the reality.
V 2/190. Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you.
V 2/193. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then there be no hostility except against the oppressors.
V 2/205. Surely Allah loves not mischief-making.
V 9/6. If any one of the idolaters seeks your (O Muhammad) protection, then shelter him so that he may hear the words of Allah, and afterwards convey him to his place of safety. This is because they are a people who know not.
42/41. And whoso defends himself after he hath suffered wrong-for such, there is no way to blame them.
People who know nothing about Islam issued an open letter for the purpose of expelling Muslims from both France and Europe, as tried Adolf Herr Hitlar of Germany against the Jews during the II World War. In exchange, the Jews expelled the Muslims from the land of Palestine. The holocaust continues. Therefore, the 300 signatories should have condemned the holocaust against the Muslims.
