Ramadan : Why are evil Egyptian Sunni's killing peaceful Coptic Christians?

The Qur'an does not say that. If you are referring to this verse : O you who believe! Do not take Jews and Christians as your patrons.

They are patrons of their own people. He among you who will turn to them for patronage is one of them. Verily Allah guides not a people unjust.

(Al-Ma'dah 5: 51) the Jews patronize the Jews and the Christians patronize the Christians, so why not Muslims patronize Muslims and support their own people. This verse is not telling us to be against Jews or Christians, but it is telling us that we should take care of our own people and we must support each other like they support each other. In his Tafsir, (Qur’an exegesis) Imam Ibn Kathir has mentioned that some scholars say that this verse (i.e.

The one you referred to) was revealed after the Battle of Uhud when Muslims had a set back. At that time, a Muslim from Madinah said, "I am going to live with Jews so I shall be safe in case another attack comes on Madinah." And another person said, "I am going to live with Christians so I shall be safe in case another attack comes on Madinah."

So Allah revealed this verse reminding the believers that they should not seek the protection from others, but should protect each other. (See Ibn Kathir, Al-Tafsir, vol. 2, p.

68) in the end , Allah ordered us to show kindness and justice to the people who doesn't fight us and expel us because of faith. Qur'an 60:8 God does not forbid you from being kind and acting justly towards those who did not fight over faith with you, nor expelled you from your homes. God indeed loves those who are just.

When the Qur'an talks of not trusting, or befriending Christians or Jews, it was at the time, of when these Christians and Jews betrayed the Muslims.. Just as when the Qur'an says to 'Kill the Disbeliever' It does not tell us to kill non-Muslims, but only those who broke a treaty with the Muslims, and therefore were in battle with them... Verses should be understood in context..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
