An entire empire, spanning half the globe, was built on the principles laid down in 9.29. It sure would be nice to see some intelligent people discussing that one during this sahwa Islamia which shows no signs of slowing down or temporizing on violence any time soon. Not that other passages aren’t important, but the fact so few people are familiar with the basics does not exactly fill me with hope.
It would help if you understood the concept of abrogation when approaching Sura Nine – one of the last written by Mohammed’s followers. Oh sorry, the unreconstructed word of God. God can’t organize passages into their natural and coherent order, apparently.
