What is simply not true?
Is this statement your opinion?
You cite nothing to show it isn't true leaving the reader so speculate if this is
just your opinion.
To quote you.
"Major problem is that people think that the truth is that which suits their desires and concepts."
Self prophecy fulfilled.
"Let's face it, using firearms and bombs as those jihad-minded Muslims did in the city of Paris on November 13, 2015 can make a greater "slaughter among them " then a sword can."
From Quran.
47:4. "Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them..."

Please cite sources else your posts are mere opinions.
I seldom post mere opinions of mine but RESEARCH cite and post with sources thus
taking mere opinion out of the equation.
Sometimes I might post an opinion. That would be a post without a citation.
My opinion of Islam believers that commit atrocities is.....................................
Use your imagination but no need to post what you simply imagine.
That would be as useless for debate as a mere opinion.
Relax, you already provided your opinion without putting any reference in your previous reply on the thread.
You quoted the verse 47:4 out of context
You said:
47:4. "Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them..."
It is 47:4
So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds.
The parts I highlighted in red are what I wanted to focus on.
The verse clearly talks about the condition of a war. As for starting a war or a combat, the conditions are clarified in other verses.
Islam is a system of life which tells you how you are supposed to live your life. So it provides answers or a pattern of thinking/response to every single situation you would face. If verses were removed, it will cease to be perfect and it would open people to retaliate the way they want and not the way God wants them too. Since Islam is a complete way of life it is normal to find verses where it tells you how to react when you are facing a war because regardless of whether we like that or not, it is part of life. Let us take a look at these verses to see what tare some conditions for entering a war.
2:190 Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.
2:191 And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
2:192 And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
2:193
Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah . But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.
2:194
[Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
If you look at the conditions to fight those than you will find,
1- They are the ones who started the fight.
2- They transgressed,.
3- Third they are the ones who expelled you out of your home.
4- regardless of all that, if they stopped, you have to stop too.
I don't think there exist anyone who has these ethics when it comes to war. And of course, when you want to search the internet to find opinions about the Quraan, from the verses I quoted you will only find the phrase "kill them wherever you overtake" with some points before it and after it. It will be Quraan says" ...................... Kill them wherever you overtake ............."
As if the whole context doesn't matter.
And 109 verses talking about combating out of 6200 approximately is not a huge number. It is only when one says there are 109 verses without mentioning the whole number of verses.
But the number doesn't really matter when the context is clear.
As a tip, I would recommend anyone that wants to interpret a verse, to read 5 to 7 verses before and 5 to 7 verses after. Its very often that they are related.
