How do people behave when they are possessed?
There is an account of a demon possessed man in the Gospel of Mark, chapter 5, verses 1-20. Reading through this passage it is clear that this individual had supernatural strength, and was not in his right mind, verses 3 and 4. He also was apparently in great torment and or pain as well, desiring to hurt himself verse 5.
How can one get info on the part of the Qur'an that states that anyone who isn't of Muslim faith is an infidel and must be destroyed?
There are a number of websites that present information to that effect based on a literalist view of the Qur'an and three of those sites have been linked to below. However, many Muslims will note that these views are taken by individuals who do not see the revealed verse in its proper context and interpretation. One of the major problems with interpreting Qur'anic verses, as opposed to interpreting Biblical verses, is that the Biblical verses are often in the context of the story. For example, read Numbers 20:11-12 below. Without the remaining verses for story-context, which discusses how Moses has a quarrel with the Israelites over how to get water and that Moses disobeyed God by smacking the rock for water, it would seem that smacking rocks to bring forth water was a sinful activity (as opposed to defying God). Since the story-context for most of the Qur'anic revelations is not in the Qur'an but in the Biography of the Prophet, reading the Qur'an alone can lead to very incorrect understandings of how the verses are to be applied. Numbers 20:11-12: (NIV) 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. 12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
