What is the Islamic concept of "innocence" Gandalf?

The Quranic quote I provided for moses is as good as any:

"Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression."

This is the Islamic concept of innocence? No wonder the British Imam took such license with the term.

Is there even an Arabic word that translates to innocent?

Yes, that’s innocence alright. We should all seek the Lord. If the Muslim refuses, he should be put to death.

Is there?

Sometimes a question is just a question, FD. Why don’t you tell us the answer?

Because Muhammed built an entire legal code. The topic does come up occasionally, for example when that British Imam declared to the media after 9/11 that in Islam it is wrong to kill innocents, then told his congregation in Arabic that only Muslims are innocent.

The links I gave above are now broken, but this is how it came up previously:

Are you conceding there are verses that contradict each other in the Quran Gandalf?

no.

Is there a verse where Mo says killing innocent women and children is ok?

no.
