The religion respects of all other faiths and humans as long as there is no prevention of Muslims from serving Allah, no religious oppression, disrespecting treaties, and prohibiting others from learning about the Islamic faith. However, the religion allows for jihad against all that prevent Muslims from serving Allah, defense of a Muslim community, people from learning about Islam, forceful eviction of a Muslim from their homeland, and revenge against oppression…
