"Why read only till verse 8? First I suggest you read verse 8 (""they respect not in you the ties either of kinship or of covenant ... their hearts are averse from you; and most of them are rebellious and wicked.""), then read the whole chapter. This sura has many more horrbile verses in it such as ""Fight thte non-beleivers until they submit and pay the Jizya(non-muslim tax)"" At-Tawba 29, e.t.c."
