    Only on the pages between the front cover and the back cover.

    Now, you're probably thinking that that makes it hate speech. Well, yeah, if you go by 'evidence' and 'reason' and the definition of 'hate speech' but wouldn't you rather go by an empty headed, suicidal, thoughtless liberal dogma of closet Islamosupremacy? I mean, that's what all the 'cool kids' are doing. Why do you want to go and care about something as pointless as 'reality'. Reality is for losers. No, just go with the liberal fantasy. It's much more comforting.

    Quran specify in many situation the integration and continuity between "Islam " and the previous religions (Jewish and Christianity ) .. and even it's continuity with what all prophets came with, which was to worship God alone .... and clarify that no other god exist what's so ever ...

    and at some point Quran complement and assure a good outcome that will happen for Jews and Christians who have believed and done good in their lives ....

    so as far as this the preference is for believers versus disbelievers

    but at other positions (frankly speaking) Quran condemned "those who have given the book" who "disbelieved" personally I do not understand what this mean exactly ... but people who tried to explain Quran says that "those who have given the book" mean Jews and Christians ... and that "disbelieved" should mean disbelieve in Islam

    also Quran specify that Christians and Jews should stop assume that God have brought a son, and that he never had a wife nor a son ...

    you see that it is complicated ... and include interpretations by some persons (religious persons) ....

    Yes. Non-muslims are, at a minimum, (e.g.those of an abrahamic faith and Sabeans) to be subjugated in dar al islam. Anyone of a non-abrahamic religion should convert to islam or be killed.

    Quote: "Muslims are the best of peoples"

    Since Islam regards non-Muslims on an inferior level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, his punishment cannot be retaliatory death penalty because the faith/conviction he possesses is higher than that of the man he/she has killed. On the other hand, if a non-muslim kills a muslim, the punishment is, more often than not, the death penalty.

    "The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third"

    There are several more examples of this sort of inequality and discrimination but this should suffice.

    I think it is crystal clear by now, anyway.

    regards

    Q 9:30 "The Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say 'The Messiah is the son of Allah'; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

Rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded."

    Q 47:3-4 "Those who reject Allah follow vanities, while those who believe follow the truth. Allah sets forth from men their lessons by similitude. When you meet in battle those who disbelieve, smite their necks until you have overcome them, make them prisoners. If it had been Allah's Will He could certainly have exacted retribution from them Himself. He lets you fight in order to test you, some with others. Those who are slain in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost."

    Q 48:17 "There is no blame for the blind or the lame, nor is there blame for the sick that they go not forth to war. Whoso obeys Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a painful doom."
