However, and maybe Opi can chime in here... what is one to think about Islam when the final words of Mohammed to his disciples was, "I was ordered to fight all men until they say, "There is no god but Allah."
and, in Qur'an :39 it says, "Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah." and "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief --non Muslims) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone."
and in Ishaq :587 "Our onslaught will not be a weak and faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violenty before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight unti our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace."
Perhaps I'm not reading these quotes correctly, but it doesn't seem like a faith of tolerance and peace. Opi.. could you please clarify?

Lady, this thread is about Thailand, not about Islam.
Second, I hope that you picked up an actual translated Quran and quoted, because there are alot of false verses attributed to the Quran online. I, however, will not be verifying any of these verses for you IF YOU DID GET THEM ONLINE.
Third, even if you got it from the hardcopy of the Quran, you can't just read a passage and run with it. You have to put into context (meaning reading the verses before it, and after it).
Fourth, it seems like you are set to blame this coup on extremist islamist fundamentalist terrorists or whatever word is in right now. You can if you want to, but it will become obvious that you have don't have a clue about world politics.
