These direct quotations (scroll down) are taken right out of the Koran. Not too much is lost in the process. But if you would like to embrace the full context, you may do so by following the directions below after clicking here for an English translation of the Koran.
What isn’t lost is how hatred toward infidels permeates the document. They/we are to be punished, killed, slain, tormented, terrorized, drowned, and burned to list a few. Also, this list is not complete. Omitted are a hundred or more references to what God will do to nonbelievers (of Islam) on judgment day. Of course the Bible talks about sinners going to hell but it is pretty clear as you will see if you read below, Muslims are asked to do the Lord’s bidding. That is, by killing and maiming nonbelievers today on earth, it will apparently save Allah quite a bit of work on judgment day, as well as get the murderer a free pass to paradise.
Could it be that this list of DIRECT QUOTES from the Koran will shock you as much as it did this writer? Please stop minimizing the War on Terror because that’s what it is! This is serious stuff!
1. But as for those who treat our signs as lies, we will gradually bring them down by means of which they know not:
2. For, whoso believeth not in God, and His Apostle …. Verily, we have got ready the flame for the Infidels!
3. Prophet! contend against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be rigorous with them: Hell shall be their dwelling place! Wretched the journey thither!
4. But they who are Infidels and treat our signs as lies–these shall be mated with Hell fire.
5. And that when the Koran is recited to them they adore not? Yea, the unbelievers treat it as a lie. But God knoweth their secret hatreds: Let their only tidings be those of painful punishment
6. Who then is more wicked than he who treateth the signs of God as lies, and turneth aside from them? We will recompense those who turn aside from our signs with an evil punishment, because they have turned aside.
7. believers! take not infidels for friends rather than believers. Would ye furnish God with clear right to punish you?
8. These! they are veritable infidels! and for the infidels have we prepared a shameful punishment.
9. And because they have taken usury, though they were forbidden it, and have devoured men’s substance in frivolity, we have got ready for the infidels among them a grievous torment.
10. And kill them wherever ye shall find them, and eject them from whatever place they have ejected you; for civil discord is worse than carnage: yet attack them not at the sacred Mosque, unless they attack you therein; but if they attack you, slay them. Such the reward of the infidels.
11. In a right way have we guided him, be he thankful or ungrateful. For the Infidels we have got ready chains and collars and flaming fire.

16. Prophet! make war on the infidels and hypocrites, and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their abode! and wretched the passage to it!

18. It is not for the votaries of other gods with God, witnesses against themselves of infidelity, to visit the temples of God. These! vain their works: and in the fire shall they abide for ever!
19. As to the infidels–if that they had twice the riches of the earth to be their ransom from torment on the day of resurrection, it should not be accepted from them! And a dolorous torment shall be their’s. Fain would they come forth from the Fire; but forth from it they shall not come: and a lasting torment shall be their’s.
20. They surely are Infidels who say, “God is the third of three:” for there is no God but one God: and if they refrain not from what they say, a grievous chastisement shall light on such of them as are Infidels.
21. Thou shalt see many of them make friends of the infidels. Evil the actions which their own passions have sent on beforehand; for God is angry with them, and in torment shall they abide for ever:

25. Yet the unbelievers say, “Hearken not to this Koran, but keep up a talking, that ye may overpower the voice of the reader.” Surely therefore will we cause the unbelievers to taste a terrible punishment;
26. A day whereon the plea of the evil doers shall not avail them; but theirs shall be a curse, and theirs the woe of the abode in Hell.
27. And when they beheld our vengeance they said, “We believe in God alone, and we disbelieve in the deities we once associated with Him.” But their faith, after they had witnessed our vengeance, profited them not. Such the procedure of God with regard to his servants who flourished of old. And then the unbelievers perished.
28. And by TROOPS shall the unbelievers be driven towards Hell, until when they reach it, its gates shall be opened, and its keepers shall say to them, “Came not apostles from among yourselves to you, reciting to you the signs of your Lord, and warning you of the meeting with Him on this your day?”13 They shall say, “Yes.” But just is the sentence of punishment on the unbelievers. It shall be said to them, “Enter ye the gates of Hell, therein to dwell for ever;” and wretched the abode of the arrogant!
29. And to those who believe and do the things that are right will he hearken, and augment his bounties to them but the unbelievers doth a terrible punishment await.
30. But let not the unbelief of the unbelieving grieve thee: unto us shall they return: then will we tell them of their doings; for God knoweth the very secrets of the breast. Yet a little while will we provide for them: afterwards will we force them to a stern punishment.
31. And God will say, “Cast into Hell, ye twain, every infidel, every hardened one, The hinderer of the good, the transgressor, the doubter, Who set up other gods with God. Cast ye him into the fierce torment.”
32. But those who believe not, and seduce others from the way of God, and from the Holy Mosque which we have appointed to all men, alike for those who abide therein, and for the stranger; And those who seek impiously to profane it, we will cause to taste a grievous punishment.
33. As for those who were infidels and turned others aside from the way of God, to them we will add punishment on punishment for their corrupt doings.
34. Yet the unbelievers say, “Hearken not to this Koran, but keep up a talking, that ye may overpower the voice of the reader.” Surely therefore will we cause the unbelievers to taste a terrible punishment; And recompense them according to the worst of their actions. This the reward of the enemies of God,–the Fire! it shall be their eternal abode, in requital for their gainsaying our signs.
35. Woe to every lying sinner, Who heareth the signs of God recited to him, and then, as though he heard them not, persisteth in proud disdain! Apprise him of an afflictive punishment. And when he becometh acquainted with any of our signs he turneth them into ridicule. These! a shameful punishment for them!
36. Whoso, after he hath believed in God denieth him, if he were forced to it and if his heart remain steadfast in the faith, shall be guiltless: but whoso openeth his breast to infidelity–on such shall be wrath from God, and a severe punishment awaiteth them.
37. But a man there is who buyeth an idle tale, that in his lack of knowledge he may mislead others from the way of God, and turn it to scorn. For such is prepared a shameful punishment!
38. And when our signs are rehearsed to him, he turneth away disdainfully, as though he heard them not,–as though his ears were heavy with deafness. Announce to him therefore tidings of an afflictive punishment!
39. Had they been apart, we had surely punished such of them as believed not, with a sore punishment.
40. Make no excuse: from faith ye have passed to infidelity! If we forgive some of you, we will punish others: for that they have been evil doers.
41. They desire that ye should be infidels as they are infidels, and that ye should be alike. Take therefore none of them for friends, till they have fled their homes for the cause of God. If they turn back, then seize them, and slay them wherever ye find them; but take none of them as friends or helpers
42. But they who are Infidels and treat our signs as lies–these shall be mated with Hell fire.
43. And as to those who fled their country for the cause of God, and were afterwards slain, or died, surely with goodly provision will God provide for them! for verily, God!
44. Believers! wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbours, and let them find you rigorous: and know that God is with those who fear him.
45. And we said, “Go ye to the people who treat our signs as lies.” And them destroyed we with utter destruction. And as to the people of Noah! when they treated their Apostles as impostors, we drowned them; and we made them a sign to mankind:–A grievous chastisement have we prepared for the wicked!
46. There is no city which we will not destroy before the day of Resurrection, or chastise it with a grievous chastisement. This is written in the Book. Nothing hindered us from sending thee with the power of working miracles, except that the peoples of old treated them as lies. We gave to Themoud the she-camel before their very eyes, yet they maltreated her! We send not a prophet with miracles but to strike terror.
47. And we delivered him, and those who were on his side, by our mercy, and we cut off, to the last man, those who had treated our signs as lies, and who were not believers.
48. But if that the people of these cities had believed and feared us, we would surely have laid open to them blessings out of the Heaven and the Earth: but they treated our signs as lies, and we took vengeance on them for their deeds.
49. And when ye go forth to war in the land, it shall be no crime in you to cut short your prayers,22 if ye fear lest the infidels come upon you; Verily, the infidels are your undoubted enemies!
50. Their state is like that of the people of Pharaoh, and of those before them who treated their Lord’s signs as lies. We therefore destroyed them in their sins, and we drowned the people of Pharaoh; for they were all doers of wrong.
51. But they who were Infidels and treated our signs as lies– these then–their’s a shameful chastisement! And as to those who fled their country for the cause of God, and were afterwards slain, or died, surely with goodly provision will God provide for them! for verily, God! He, surely, is the best of providers!
52. Verily, God is my Lord and your Lord; wherefore worship ye him: this is a right way.” But the different parties fell into disputes among themselves; but woe to those who thus transgressed, because of the punishment of an afflictive day! For what wait they but for the hour “to come suddenly on them, while they expect it not?
53. They worship beside God, that for which He hath sent down no warranty, and that of which they have no knowledge: but for those who commit this wrong, no helper! And when our clear signs are rehearsed to them, thou mayst perceive disdain in the countenances of the Infidels. Scarce can they refrain from rushing to attack those who rehearse our signs to them! SAY: Shall I tell you of worse than this? The fire which God hath threatened to those who believe not! Wretched the passage thither!
54. SAY,–such was our command to that apostle–”What! even if I bring you a religion more right than that ye found your fathers following?” And they said, “Verily we believe not in your message.” Wherefore we took vengeance on them, and behold what hath been the end of those who treated our messengers as liars!
55. And he inspired his people with levity, and they obeyed him; for they were a perverse people: And when they had angered us, we took vengeance on them, and we drowned them all.
56. My sole work is preaching from God, and His message: and for such as shall rebel against God and his apostle is the fire of Hell! they shall remain therein alway,–for ever! Until they see their threatened vengeance they will be perverse! but then shall they know which side was the weakest in a protector and the fewest in number.
57. And when their apostles had come to them with the tokens of their mission, they exulted in what they possessed of knowledge; but that retribution at which they scoffed, en compassed them. And when they beheld our vengeance they said, “We believe in God alone, and we disbelieve in the deities we once associated with Him.” But their faith, after they had witnessed our vengeance, profited them not. Such the procedure of God with regard to his servants who flourished of old. And then the unbelievers perished.
58. And if they treat thee as a liar, so did those who were before them threat their Apostles who came to them with the proofs of their mission, and with the Scriptures and with the enlightening Book: Then chastised I the unbelievers: and how great was my vengeance!
59. Therefore we took vengeance on them and drowned them in the sea, because they treated our signs as falsehoods and were heedless of them.
60. SAY: O men! if ye are in doubt as to my religion, verily I worship not what ye worship beside God; but I worship God who will cause you to die: and I am commanded to be a believer.
61. Follow ye what hath been sent down to you from your Lord; and follow no masters beside Him. How little will ye be monished! How many cities have we destroyed! By night, or while they were in their midday slumber, did our wrath reach them!
62. When thy Lord spake unto the angels, “I will be with you: therefore stablish ye the faithful. I will cast a dread into the hearts of the infidels.” Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every finger-tip. This, because they have opposed God and his apostle: And whoso shall oppose God and his apostle …. Verily, God will be severe in punishment. “This for you! Taste it then! and for the infidels is the torture of the fire!”
63. And when the sacred months3 are passed, kill those who join other gods with God wherever ye shall find them; and seize them, besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush: but if they shall convert, and observe prayer, and pay the obligatory alms, then let them go their way, for God is Gracious, Merciful.
64. Infidels now are they who say, “God is the Messiah, Son of Mary;” for the Messiah said, “O children of Israel! worship God, my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever shall join other gods with God, God shall forbid him the Garden, and his abode shall be the Fire; and the wicked shall have no helpers.
65. God truly will not forgive the joining other gods with Himself. Other sins He will forgive to whom He will: but he who joineth gods with God, hath erred with far-gone error.
66. And that He may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the men and women who join other gods with God, and think evil thoughts of Him. Theirs shall be a round of evil; and God is angry with them and curseth them, and hath prepared Hell for them: and, an evil journey thither!
67. It is not for the votaries of other gods with God, witnesses against themselves of infidelity, to visit the temples of God. These! vain their works: and in the fire shall they abide for ever!
68. And God will say, “Cast into Hell, ye twain, every infidel, every hardened one, The hinderer of the good, the transgressor, the doubter, Who set up other gods with God. Cast ye him into the fierce torment.”
69. We will cast a dread into hearts of the infidels because they have joined gods with God without warranty sent down; their abode shall be the fire; and wretched shall be the mansion of the evil doers. Already had God made good to you His promise, when by His permission ye destroyed your foes, until your courage failed you, and ye disputed about the order,45 and disobeyed, after that the Prophet had brought you within view of that for which ye longed.46
70. Then sought they help from God, and every proud rebellious one perished: Hell is before him: and of tainted water shall he be made to drink: He shall sup it and scarce swallow it for loathing; and Death shall assail him on every side, but he shall not die: and before him shall be seen a grievous torment.
71. Nay! God hath cursed them in their infidelity: few are they who believe!
72. The curse of God on the infidels!
73. The worst beasts truly in the sight of God are the thankless who will not believe;
74. These are they who believed not, and kept you away from the sacred Mosque, as well as the offering which was prevented from reaching the place of sacrifice. And had it not been that ye would have trodden down believers, both men and women, whom ye knew not, so that a crime might have lighted on you without your knowledge on their account, and that God would bring whom He will within His mercy, this would have been otherwise ordered. Had they been apart,8 we had surely punished such of them as believed not, with a sore punishment.
75. and we will gather them together on the day of the resurrection, on their faces, blind and dumb and deaf: Hell shall be their abode: so oft as its fires die down, we will rekindle the flame.
76. and made the word of those who believed not the abased, and the word of God was the exalted: for God is Mighty, Wise. March ye forth the light and heavy armed,18 and contend with your substance and your persons on the Way of God.
77. Never pray thou over anyone of them who dieth, or stand at his grave31– because they believed not in God and His Apostle, and died in their wickedness. Let not their riches or their children astonish thee: through these God is fain only to punish them in this world, and that their souls should depart while they are still infidels.
78. Those among the children of Israel who believed not were cursed by the tongue of David,30 and of Jesus, Son of Mary. This, because they were rebellious, and became transgressors: they forbade not one another the iniquity which they wrought! detestable are their actions! Thou shalt see many of them make friends of the infidels. Evil the actions which their own passions have sent on beforehand; for God is angry with them, and in torment shall they abide for ever:
79. [In searching for “an eye for an eye” no occurrences could be found in the Koran. However, this was found the NT book of Mathew:] {5:38} Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: {5:39} But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
80. Yet these infidels say, “There is but our first death, neither shall we be raised again: Bring back our sires, if ye be men of truth.” Are they better than the people of Tobba,6 And those who flourished before them whom we destroyed for their evil deeds?
81. And when the sacred months3 are passed, kill those who join other gods with God wherever ye shall find them; and seize them, besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush: but if they shall convert, and observe prayer, and pay the obligatory alms, then let them go their way, for God is Gracious, Merciful.
82. Verily the tree of Ez-Zakkoum9 Shall be the sinner’s10 food: Like dregs of oil shall it boil up in their bellies, Like the boiling of scalding water. “–Seize ye him, and drag him into the mid-fire; Then pour on his head of the tormenting boiling water.
83. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [Oops. That slipped in from Mathew of the New Testament. I had been searching the Koran for the word “Convert.” Very sparse so I checked out the bible. The Koran seems much more interested in exhorting its members to simply kill, punish, or torment nonbelievers rather than trying to convert them.
84. There is no God but He!–He maketh alive and killeth!–Your Lord and the Lord of your sires of old! [My God is tougher than your God.]
85. What! will ye not fight against those Meccans who have broken their oaths and aimed to expel your Apostle, and attacked you first? Will ye dread them? God is more worthy of your fear, if ye are believers! So make war on them: By your hands will God chastise them, and will put them to shame, and will give you victory over them, and will heal the bosoms of a people who believe;
86. What! will ye not fight against those Meccans who have broken their oaths and aimed to expel your Apostle, and attacked you first? Will ye dread them? God is more worthy of your fear, if ye are believers! So make war on them: By your hands will God chastise them, and will put them to shame, and will give you victory over them, and will heal the bosoms of a people who believe;
87. Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God,
88. One day we will gather the God-fearing before the God of Mercy with honours due:29 But the sinners will we drive unto Hell, like flocks driven to the watering.
89. But they who believe not and treat our signs as lies shall be the inmates of Hell-fire.
90. Ye will find others who seek to gain your confidence as well as that of their own people: So oft as they return to sedition, they shall be overthrown in it: But if they leave you not, nor propose terms or peace to you nor withhold their hands, then seize them, and slay them, wherever ye find them. Over these have we given you undoubted power.
These excerpts are not documented with chapter and verse specifically you may accomplish the same as follows: Call up the Koran and search for a string of words that are unique sounding, such as, “. . . and kill them . . .“ to find the source and context of, say, the first quotation below.) If you have trouble finding any, change the quote slightly because this copy of the Koran (see the link in the first paragraph above) contains “carriage returns” after every single line which have been removed for better readability.
This list should help all infidels to understand how natural it is for Muslims to try and kill us. The “teachings” of the Koran have been ingrained in them almost from birth. It has been often said it is only the “Islamic extremists” we need to worry about. Maybe so but it’s important to understand the reason is likely because the others, although thoroughly implored to attack us, probably don’t have the stomach to do it. This might explain why there was dancing in the streets in Muslim countries the evening of September 11, 2001. While many did not have the guts to get on an airplane, fly to America or other western country, and then blow themselves up in a crowd of people including women and children, that didn’t mean they couldn’t celebrate the accomplishments of braver, more zealous followers of Mohammed. Sad to say, it has become a bit of a spectator sport . . . for Muslims. You may not want to go 10 rounds with Mike Tyson but that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy watching the match.
