And the[/b]five [/b] pillars of islam are there becuase they apply to every muslim, and there is a punishment if they're not done... Jihad isn't in this becuase it doesn't apply to women (like the army doesn't let women on the front line) and men of a certain age... it's a policy for soldiers against other soldiers, not muslims against non-muslims...
Sorry to get serious on you, but Chirstoph if your going to say something like that your gonna need proof.. or at least tell us from which "sora" it came from...
"That's how they took over north Africa and central Asia, by invasion and killing people." Eh? They never killed as many poeple as the crusaders, and they didn't force anyone to change their religion (like the spaniards did during the incusition)... Islam spread as far as malasia and indonesia by peaceful muslims...
