             command and the verses of the Koran, then some people can become
             Muslims. Yet this blatantly flies in the face of our Lord's commands.

             The result, as we have already seen, is hypocrites, enemies of Islam
             and people who regard the faith as one of compulsion and force.
                 When Islam is properly and fully applied, as in the time of our
             Prophet (pbuh), when people fully live by the verses of the Koran, on-
             ly then will people be living by the real Islam. Nothing else is Islam.
             People who regard even a single verse of the Koran as insufficient
             have abandoned the faith. Things done by such people in the name of
             Islam, that have no place in the faith, cannot be attributed to Islam, in
             exactly the same way that fanatics who kill and burn mosques and
             copies of the Koran cannot be attributed to Christianity.
                 If a practice is incompatible with verses of the Koran, then it is not
             Islamic. Therefore, if Christians wish to learn the essence of and truth
             about Islam, they must look to the Koran alone.



                 The Koran Declares War on Fundamentalism

                 The Koran has declared war on all forms of affliction caused by
             fundamentalism; unhappiness, oppression, lovelessness, anger and
             bloodshed. The Islam based on the Koran is the exact opposite of fun-
             damentalism.
                 Islam advises love, peace and friendship. It encourages unity, ex-
             alting the name of God together, brotherhood and the establishment of
             peace and security in the world.



                 Fundamentalism cannot be eliminated by
                 declaring war on Islam

                 Those who mistakenly equate fundamentalism with Islam itself
             and wish to eliminate this extremist system are generally making a
             major error in adopting a hostile attitude toward Islam. Some elements
