"freedom of speech is weaponized against us! France deported (illegal immigrants) that parody Macron!" conveniently forgets the Charlie Hebdo attack. Conveniently forgets Samuel Paty.

Regarding the verse you gave, it is important to understand the context of this verse. It is often taken out of context and used to justify violence against non-Muslims, but in reality, it is a reference to the historical context of the time when the religion was first established. The verse is talking about the struggle for survival against hostile enemies, and not about indiscriminately attacking non-Muslims. The concept of "jihad" is often misinterpreted as a call to violence, but it actually refers to the inner struggle to do good and be a better person. Islam also teaches that all human life is sacred and should be respected.
