Misled?

How could they have been misled in this way? Could it have been from Islamic texts including these?

“And fight them until there is no fitnah and religion is all for Allah.” (Qur’an 8:39)

“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, and do not forbidden what has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and do not acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Sahih Muslim 4294)

I wish Sultan Shahin all success in his efforts to disabuse young Muslims of the notion that they have to wage jihad in order to bring about Islamic domination of the world, but those efforts will not get far without a forthright acknowledgment of where this idea comes from.
