Does the Koran teach to "Kill the Infidel?"
According to the Koran (or Qur'an)

9:123 - Fight unbelievers who are near to you.
Different translation: Believers! Make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Let them find harshness in you.
Another source: Ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers....

5:54 - O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people.

9:5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters (infidels) wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

So, in 9:5 of the Koran, what happens if you don't repent, worship and pay the poor-due? (tax) I guess you're toast!

In all fairness, SunniPath, The Online Islamic Academy admits that Scholars differ over the interpretation of this saying. In response to the question: "Does the koran teach to kill, tax or convert infidels?", their answer is "No".

They claim you must first take into account the biography of the prophet, and when he established the first Islamic state in Medina.

I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, however, they're preaching to the "wrong" audience! SunniPath may be absolutely right and these verses may in deed be misinterpreted, but if they are misinterpreted by the average American, So What?

The problem is, if these verses are misinterpreted at all, they are misinterpreted by the Extreme Islamic Fascists! "These" are the people killing innocent civilians. These are the people strapping bombs to themselves and killing themselves and as many others as they can take with them.

These are the people strapping bombs to innocent "mentally challenged" women and children and sending them into a crowded area, then detonating the explosive device by remote control. (cowards)

The math simply doesn't add up! Think about it. Remember when that small group of wacko's, claiming to be Christians, were disrupting the funerals of dead soldiers? (you remember) The news, media and internet were "Buzzing" with people expressing their disgust for that cult that claimed to be followers of Christ!

Christians all over the country were condemning this group and apologizing for them at the same time, because they were claiming to be Christians. So, where's the Islamic outrage?

A small group of wacko's, claiming to be Muslim/Islamic, killed thousands of innocent citizens in the "World Trade Center". If you remember, they were dancing in the streets in Egypt and other countries. Apparently, all those fools we saw dancing with joy on TV didn't know that verse 9:5 was misinterpreted!

So where is the Islamic outrage? Where are the websites apologizing for these misguided fools claiming to be Muslim's? Where is the Buzz like we saw over the soldiers funerals being disrupted?

2 + 2 just doesn't seem to equal "4" does it? It makes one ask themself, "Are these verses from the Koran "really" misinterpreted?"
