Myth vs Fact #96

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	24:53 They swear by Allâh their strongest oaths, that if only you would order them, they would leave (their homes for fighting in Allâh’s Cause). Say: “Swear you not; (this) obedience (of yours) is known (to be false). Verily, Allâh knows well what you do.”
Tafsir	The Treachery of the Hypocrites and the Attitude of the Believers
Bottom Line	Leaving your home, going out and emigrating are euphemisms for joining the Jihad, which is offensive warfare.  Hypocrites are “moderate” Muslims who do not want to  join the Jihad.  This receives explicit expression in  9:38.
