..Far as fighting those who fight you…Islam is not a pacifist religion. Much like the God of the Old Testament isn't either. ..

Yes, the Old T God was one tough cookie, nobody better mess with him..:)
However, when he felt the time was right, he sent Jesus to give us the kool New T.
Here's Jesus chilling, what a great role model for us all..:)-

..the majority of your priests in England say gay people should be allowed to get married..

They're not my priests, I'm non-denom and the only "priest" I follow is Jesus..:)
Jesus said-"Call nobody teacher except me" (Matt 23:8-10)
As for the clergy, most are morally corrupt and perverted to the core, which proves that a fool with a theology college diploma is still just a fool..:)

It'S actually sad the way you address that issue, and with smiles on top of that.

I will say that this world is for doing good deeds and reaping the rewards AFTER one dies, with God's Mercy more than any thing else, for what are we if He Is Not Merciful to us?

Peace.

..to turn the other cheek and ignore what God has called an abomination, is truly following in the path of Jesus, right?
I see a lot of Christians bowing before Israel on social media..

If we'd all turned the other cheek in WW2 (like some religious cultists did) and refused to fight, the nazis would be running half the world by now, and the japs the other half, so it comes down to personal choice whether to sit out wars or not..:)
Same with muslims, a lot just try to live peaceably, but others prefer to kick Israeli butt, so it's up to God to decide which muslims are right or wrong.
Personally if I was a Palestinian i'd be bloody angry at Israel for stealing Palestine, but whether I'd pick up a rifle to kick jewish butt, or just try to live peaceably I just don't know..:)

This is what happens when you don’t read commentaries. Here is some context to that chapter and the verses which reference Christians and Jews.

I am responding only because you’re spreading misinformation or if I give you the benefit of the doubt, you’re unaware that most of that chapter (Titled: Al Maidah/The Table Spread) refers to the historical events and doesn’t refer to modern day. It’s isolated advice and information for a particular time and event. The Tafsir literally explains this.

The verses of this section of the chapter were largely revealed in the early years after the migration to Madinah, when the Prophet Muhammad strived to create unity and peace among a diverse collection of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian city-dwellers and nomadic tribes of various ethnicities. The Muslims made alliances and signed treaties with various groups, establishing everyone’s political and religious rights, freedoms, and obligations to the state.

While these treaties were largely successful, conflict did sometimes erupt, not for religious reasons, but due to the breach of certain agreements leading to aggression or injustice.

You were clearly looking at the whole chapter so why not post the many verses encouraging unity and peace:

“Oh you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah, as just witnesses to fair dealing, and let not enmity and hatred of others towards you make you avoid justice. Be just, that is nearer to Taqwa; and Taqwa Allah. Verily, Allah is well-acquainted with what you do.” (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:8)

“Surely, those who believe, and those who are the Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, whosoever believed in Allah and the Last Day, and worked righteousness, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:69)

Surah Al-Ma’idah opens with a discussion of dietary laws, pilgrimage, marriage and criminal punishment for certain crimes. These provide a spiritual framework for laws and practices that were enacted during the early years of the Islamic community in Madina.

Support and advice is offered for the Muslims who faced ridicule from neighboring Jewish and Christian tribes. Muslims are expected to approach agreements in good faith, and uphold their end. It is not for us to pre-judge people’s hearts or intentions.

As for chapter 5, verse 52, it describes a situation where a group of muslims are allying themselves with an opposing party instead of their fellow Muslims in an effort to be well-treated should the Muslims be defeated. They’re basically selling out for acceptance and not intentional to their allegiance to Islam. Allah is warning the Muslims against this type of allegiance, not the general notion of being friendly towards a Jew or a Christian. Wali is the Arabic word used here and is poorly translated as ‘friend’ when it means ally or protector.

God commands us to be good to others regardless of whether they’re Muslim or not:

Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes – from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. (Quran 60:8)

Let me know why it's so easy for you to lie. As you've just done a page back.
After we address this, then maybe we can actually have an adult conversation.
Christians don't tell fibs..:)-
Jesus said:- Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” (John 18:37)
Like I've said before, you must have got me mixed up with somebody else.. :p

As i've said before, the world is crazy and funny, so my smilies are my way of LAUGHING at it and not taking it seriously..:)

Yes I know that and you know that, and most muslims know that, but apparently the modern-day hardline muslim "terrorists" don't know that..;)

So what terrorists are you referring to? You’re clearly from The UK like me. Are you those old farts who think Muslims should just go back to their country?

Only the illegal ones should bugger off back where they came from, instead of coming here to scrounge our welfare..:)

Like i've said before, Hamas can be regarded as "freedom fighters" and it's only western governments who label them "terrorists"..:)
As for "christian terrorists" I don't know a single one, so no doubt it's only nonchristians and atheists who've slapped that label on them.
You don't see the bias, the open hypocrisy?

What's interesting is how most "Muslim terrorists" have been shown to be psy-ops brought to us by the intelligence agencies.
I.e., nonexistent.

While Christians bringing terror like bombing abortion clinics, isn't really debated.

Tell me this isn't one heck of a long list Tidal.
