Quote:
I would be weary when adding a "therefore" between the 2 writings in this passage of the Qur'an. By adding it, you are creating a sense that violence toward Christians and Jews is justified by the Quran, when in reality these two writings are not just seperated by many other lines, and the historical context hasn't even been taken into account.
Manipulation of writings and verses can be misinterpreted and therefore convince people that these lines do in fact justify the killing of Jews and Christians... this same ideology is present in the extremists mind set when they carry out attacks. They have been brain washed, and have been cited verses out of context in order to create a sense of martydom, therefore I would be cautious when extracting 2 lines and combining them out of context and out of order.

Therein lies the rub, the Qur’an does justify violence towards Jews and Christians providing certain criteria are met. Offensive Jihad or violence towards Unbelievers, Jews, and Christians, happen to be grounded in history, as well as being codified by Sharia.
The Objectives of Jihad
o9.0
(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion.
o9.1 Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others.
o9.6 It is offensive to conduct a military expedition against hostile non-Muslims without the Caliph’s permission (A: though if there is no Caliph (def: o25), no permission is required.
(The Reliance of the Traveler. Pgs 599-609)
o22.1 ( I )
(9) those (nasikh) which supersede previously revealed Koranic verses;
(10) and those (mansukh) which are superseded by later verses.
(The Reliance of the Traveler. Pgs 625, 626)
Which verses in the Qur’an that call for peace, love and patience towards Unbelievers, Jews, and Christians
are not affected by al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh ? 
“None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?" (Surah 2: 106)
“When We substitute one revelation for another, and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages), they say, "Thou art but a forger": but most of them understand not."
(Surah 16:101)
Those who do not accept abrogation fall outside of the mainstream…
