Surah 9 is addressed to the Muslims of Muhammad's (as) time when the Pagans broke the peace treaty with the Muslims and killed innocent Muslims. Because of this incident, Muslims were commanded to kill the Pagans and cease when they joined them. Armyrifle 14:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Citations are needed to include information like this in the article.--Sefringle 17:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

True. I've found an article about this from a webstie called Muslim Access. [1] I'll add it in Armyrifle 21:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Here's the problem. I don't see an author. How am I to know it is written by a scholar?--Sefringle 21:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

Unless someone can find a lot of sources, this article will never be more than a stub. Best to merge it with Surah Tawba. Note: I am not proposing the deletion of any content, just the relocation of it.Bless sins 16:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose While this still is a stub, many, if not most of the articles about specific quran verses are stubs. Verse 9.5 is regularly quoted by critics to say that muslims support terrorism. While we may not wish to include non-scholarly criticisms of the verse, it is still very notable and worth keeping this article because of them.--Sefringle 00:27, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be merged. Just because it is picked out in debates does not mean it cannot be included in the context of the full description of sura At-Tawba. A separate section in the At-Tawba article commited to only this verse is wiser and would not lose the importance of this verse. More importantly, since the At-Tawba article itself is a stub including this verse in it would benefit both of the articles. 23:54, 11 Dec 2007 (Anonymous) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.155.136 (talk)

If, as is suggested here, the context of the verse is important, then I think that is another plus for the merger.--12.47.123.121 (talk) 00:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
