"Permission to fight is given to those who are fought against because they have been wronged -truly Allah has the power to come to their support- those who were expelled from their homes without any right, merely for saying, 'Our Lord is Allah'..." (Quran, 22:39-40)"
As a peace seeker, and one who is hopeful for the well-being of the Muslims, I imagined this dialogue with Muhammad. It begins with the question: does he still support this Quran quote. There is also the additional question of the violence committed by Muslim extremists in the name of Allah.

Jesus On War
Once again I met Jesus, this time while he was washing dishes in a diner. “Jesus, it is so nice to see you again,” I said.
“Thank you my son,” he answered. “What is troubling you?”
“War,“ I replied. “War is destroying us, and this despite your biblical quotes urging mankind to turn the other cheek, and to love and forgive one-another.”
“What can we do to stop these wars and bring peace to the world,“ I asked Jesus.
“Thank you my son,” he answered. “What is troubling you?”
