If you are a Qu\\\'ranyun/Qu\\\'ranist maybe you can get away with that but they are less than %1 of Islam as far as we can tell with the bulk of it being Sunnis whose Sharia is based off of all three texts and Shias who reject Aisha\\\'s testimonies but otherwise take stock in Ishaq\\\'s biography and the \\\"Sahih\\\" Hadiths.

While it is true most of the 164, give or take, jihad verses in the Qu\\\'ran are not about offense there is no pretense for \\\"greater jihad\\\" meaning \\\"inner jihad\\\". There is only outer jihad, belittling of those not partaking in jihad, rewards for partaking in jihad and promises of victory in jihad but for a 165,00 word book that is only 9%.

But if I do not type \\\"[[InsistentTerminology jihad]]\\\", \\\"rather fighting in Allah\\\'s (Jesus\\\'s, YHWH\\\'s, G-d\\\'s, ect) cause\\\" the numbers do not change. There is nearly ten times as many calls for believers to fight in their god\\\'s cause in the Trilogy than the Tanakh, and the Tanakh\\\'s are all phased out by the time the New Testament arrives. The Sunnah in contrast starts out relatively peaceful (though Muslims still draw the first blood without a word of condemnation in the Ishaq\\\'s Sirat) and gets increases in calls to fight as it goes on.

The good news for the Muslims is that most of that is in the sirat. Page 675 of Sirat Rasul Allah, one of the top two authoritative preservations of Ishaq\\\'s work, has Muhammad calling for the death of poets who disagreed with him you want to ignore that and be a Qu\\\'ranist be my guest but do not say it is not there or that it has no connection to the violence stemming from the youtube clip \\\"Innocence Of Muslims\\\" or attacks in Nigeria of a newspaper and beauty pageant.

According to Sahih Bukari (the highest authority of the hadith) 4:56:660 Muhammad was cursing Pagans, Jews and Christians all the way to his death bed and giving orders of how they were to be expelled from the Arabian Peninsula. If you want that thrown out too go ahead but you cannot just say it does not count because the Qu\\\'ran says emulate the prophet and nothing about that particular hadith technically contradicts the Qu\\\'ran and if you discard Bukari you might as well call all the hadith invalid, no Sunnah, no pillars. But Christianity survived quote well on \\\"sola scriptura\\\".
