P. 216

Do not lie in wait on every pathway, threatening people, barring
           those who believe from the Way of Allah, desiring to make it
           crooked. Remember when you were few and He increased your
           number: see the final fate of the corrupters! (Qur'an, 7:86)
           THEY COMMIT PERJURY
           If they break their oaths after making their treaty and defame your
           religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief—they have no binding
           oaths—so that hopefully they will stop. (Qur'an, 9:12)

           THEY ARGUE ABOUT ALLAH
           AND THE RELIGION DESPITE
           THEIR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
           They have no knowledge of this, neither they nor their fathers. It
           is a monstrous utterance which has issued from their mouths.
           What they say is nothing but a lie. (Qur'an, 18:5)
           Among people there is one who argues about Allah without
           knowledge or guidance or any light-giving Book, (Qur'an, 22:8)
           They say, 'There is nothing but our existence in this world. We die
           and we live and nothing destroys us except for time.' They have
           no knowledge of that. They are only conjecturing. (Qur'an, 45:24)
           Whenever they commit an indecent act, they say, 'We found our
           fathers doing it and Allah commanded us to do it too.' Say: 'Allah
           does not command indecency. Do you say things about Allah you
           do not know?' (Qur'an, 7:28)
           You are people arguing about something of which you have no
           knowledge. Why do you argue about something of which you
           have no knowledge? Allah knows; you do not know.' (Qur'an,
           3:66)
           Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you everything in the
           heavens and earth and has showered His blessings upon you, both
           outwardly and inwardly? Yet there are people who argue about
           Allah without knowledge or guidance or any illuminating Book.
           (Qur'an, 31:20)
