6. I signed
too bad there are junk signatures there. I cited Sura 8: 67, which reads:

It is not fitting
For a Prophet
That he should have
Prisoners of war until
He hath throroughly subdued
The land.....

The notes on this Sura include the following:

All baser motives ... are strictly excluded. The greed of gain in the shape of ransom from captives has no place....

From The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an Abdullah Yusuf Ali
