Irish,
At the risk of appearing antagonistic, Surah 9, verse 11 reads in my English translation of the Koran as follows:
“But (even then), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practice regular charity, they are your brethren in Faith: (so) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand.”
Now while Surah 9 does focus on Repentance, and those who find themselves at the wrong end of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force may surely spend some time (some a very long time indeed) reflecting upon misdeeds, there really is no association between the Koran and the reference above.
Sorry.
