You guys arguing about "enemy" need to define "peace". It doesn't necessarily mean living a lovey-dovey life with others, it can simply mean cessation/absence of war or violence. A treaty can bring peace by ending a war. Egypt has been at peace with Israel for decades but the general population's sentiment towards the Zionist state has been nothing buthate. That definition fits Afania's point of view.
Fine, challenge accepted!
Peace: The absence of violence, arguments and hatred towards others. Cooperation and acceptance towards others
Which means, no enemies in existence. Since enemy is, by definition, a hate of another.
So, since you want to defend Afania, how about you try to take a stab at "how can you have enemies during peaceful times"
"Lack of rockets" excuse has already been used though.
Where did you get that definition from?

Enough I guess. Look it up in any dictionary and you'll find that just "no war" is sufficient to call that state "peace"...which is what I said in my post.
And regarding stoning, Ccl answered you. In that case of stoning:
1- The Jews came to prophet Muhammad, asking him to be the judge about a man that cheated on his wife, and that they'd accept his judgement no matter what.
2- He told them he'd judge them by the Torah, since it's their holy book. So, he judged them
by the Torah(according to that narration). Why? because, in Islam, minorities can choose to seek a court of their faith or a Muslim court if they so desire. You really should read the links you post before posting them.
So no, there's no stoning of people of other beliefs just because they're "infidels".
I objected to your post because you made it sound as if Hamas was worse than Israel because of their creed, which couldn't be further from the truth. Why do you think the Zionist Jews settled in Palestine? Why do you think Hamas is persisting? Ever heard of
Greater Israel?
EDIT: Found this story in
John 8:1-11, that confirms that stoning adulterers was indeed a Judaic law.
