Those who profess Islam as a religion of peace cite verses from Mohammed's early days in Mecca. After he was run out of there (for fear of his life) he set up shop in Medina. As he grew stronger his teachings became more militant. The scholars of Islam have determined that whenever Mohammed contradicted himself, the later (in time) passage takes presidence. Problem is the Koran is not printed in the order of his 'revelations". Maybe to keep us infidels off guard?
