Would someone please define: "peaceful" Muslim for me?

Someone please tell me where my thinking is at fault here.

To be a member of islam, one practices the tenets of their religion as set forth in their koran (or whatever the proper spelling is this week).....and it must be practised UNCONDITIONALLY!.....yes?....no?

If that is the case, and if the koran preaches subjugation of unbelievers, or death to those who blaspheme the religion, how does any muslim have the gall to consider themselves "peaceful"?

One either accepts the koran, in toto, or not at all......there's no middle ground.

You are a member of islam or you are not.

You cannot selectively ignore those sections of the koran that you do not like.

    Sure, that's the guy who lies in the grave there.

    Yes. Otherwise you end up like that guy there, in his grave.

    The Core Concept of Islam is "samaayana wa aataana" To Hear is to Obey.

    And the Muslim is the Slave of Allah and His Prophet and whosoever the Prophet has chosen to be their boss.

    And the rest of your post is not a question, but a statement of fact, so, I can only say that I agree.

    God does not forbid you from being kind and acting justly towards those who did not fight over faith with you, nor expelled you from your homes. God indeed loves those who are just. (8)

    He only forbids you from making friends with those who fought over faith with you and banished you from your homes, and aided in your exile. Whoever makes friends with them is a transgressor. (9)
