EIGHT COMMANDMENTS OF THE KORAN
CONCERNING CHRISTIANS
(THE ARABIC INSCRIPTION ON THE NEXT PAGE.)
(1.) "They are surely infidels, who say, Verily God is Christ the son of Mary." (Koran, Chap. V.)
(2.) "O true believers, take not the Jews or Christians for your friends: they are friends the one to the other; but whose among you taketh them for his friends, he is surely one of them." (Chap. V.)
(3.) "War is enjoined you against the infidels; but this is hateful unto you; yet perchance ye hate a thing which is better for you, and perchance you love a thing which is worse for you; but God knoweth, and ye know not." (Chap. II.)
(4.) "Fight therefore against them, until there be no temptation to idolatry, and the religion be God's." (Chap. II.)
(5.) "Fight against the friends of Satan, for the stratagem of Satan is weak." (Chap. IV.)
(6.) "And when the months wherein ye are not allowed to attack them shall be past, kill the idolaters wheresoever ye shall find them, and take them prisoners, and besiege them, and lay wait for them in every convenient place." (Chap. IX.)
(7.) "When ye encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads, until ye have made a great slaughter among them." (Chap. XLVII.)
(8.) "Ye are also forbidden to take to wife free women who are married, except those women whom your right hand shall possess as slaves. This is ordained you from God." (Chap. IV.)
