Am I the only one who had to look up Caliphate?
I see the big picture and i see that your words and feelings aid the enemy. It is fair to say that america started much of this battle but in order to win misguided followers of the religion must not be able to dribble every gaining sympathy for a flawed religion. It is regrettable that you do not see how you are choosing to follow a religion that breeds hate from within. the problem is that no forgivness is found throughout the religion.

a reply to: LightningStrikesHere Why would ksa usher in the caliph when they seem to be much in line with the u.s. and have some control here. The small group you speak of is growing very much and has obtained much resources. they have taken more lives than the number they started with. Who is gonna stop them. Do you see them just getting their fill of violence and turning around? Exactly how many muslims that support violence would have to be in the u.s. before you would start to fight them?
I am fighting them now! With knowledge .. On forums like these.
That's all I can really do.. Here in the US.
But the truth is YES ! These groups are growing .. Because of these wars.
If the USA would have never invaded Iraq would the ISIS be around?
The fact is most of these "terrorist " are pissed off . . because they have lost mothers ,daughters, fathers , brothers, sister's.
These tragedys breed hate and hate breeds group's like the Isis ...
Just saying look at the big picture

The word "Allah" is an Arabic word that means "The God". It originally consisted of two words: "Al Ilah". The word "Al" in Arabic means "the". The word "Ilah" means God. Saying the combination of the two words "Al Ilah" is somewhat awkward, so with time the Arabs combined the two words and dropped the middle vowel "i", resuling in "Allah". Since Allah means "The God" and not simply "God", it actually incorporates the concept of monothiesm (belief in one God). Monothiesm is the central and most important message of Islam. Everything else comes secondary to that.
Interestingly, the word Allah is not only used by Muslims. It is used by people of all religions who speak the Arabic language. Not all Arabs are Muslims. In fact, there are significant minorities of Arabs who are Christian (including Coptic, Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical and many others) and Jewish. Some of these minorities do not consider themselves ethnically Arab, while others do. Regardless of ethnic origin, they are citizens of the Arab countries they live in, and their first (and sometimes only) language is the Arabic language. These minorities refer to God as Allah. In fact, Bibles translated into Arabic refer to God as Allah. Even non-Arabs who have learned to speak Arabic would use the word Allah to refer to God.
However, the word Allah does have some special attributes that differentiate it from the word God as used in the English language. The most important, as mentioned earlier, is that Allah translates into "The God" and not simply God. Allah refers to the one true God, the creator and sustainer of mankind, and of the heavens and earth and everything else in the universe. People have taken many false dieties as Gods through the centuries. Some people have taken fire as a God. Others have taken a specific human being as a God. Others may regard an animal as a God. Some people worship many different Gods. The word Allah cannot be used to refer to any of these false Gods. It can only be used to refer to the concept of "The God", the one, the creator, the eternal, the all powerful, the most merciful God.
Do you support all the cutting of sexual organs and the increased homosexuality while degrading women at the same time? How about shrias law are you for that?
Religious law refers to ethical and moral codes taught by religious traditions. Examples include Christian canon law, Islamic sharia, Jewish halakha and Hindu law.[1] The two most prominent systems, canon law and sharia, differ from other religious laws in that canon law is the codification of Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox law as in civil law, while sharia derives many of its laws from juristic precedent and reasoning by analogy (as in a common law tradition). en.wikipedia.org...

so then it is actually God , and in God's name,,,
that those who are not Muslim be killed?
For instance "Thou shalt not kill",,
is ok?
The state we're talking about is the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). I think it's time we give them the “respect” they deserve after the victories they achieved last week and after they forced themselves on the region. We must thus call them "the state," as they like to be called

It's not really the Christians who need to hear the correct interpretation of the Quran... its your sons and daughters fighting for a caliphate in lands they were not born in.
It's your brothers who need to hear these things. The ones doing the killing - and the ones allowing it. They should be put to death for their crimes... not allowed to put others to death. Not recognized as a state.
Here is your sunni brethren:

Not much talk of fighting them going on... just give them iraq... give them the rich oil fields, let them kill the shia, and recognize them as a state and hope they will be happy with that aye?

The only problem with that is that there has been no general concesus between the groups that that time is over and a new time has begun. The loudest voices embrace that let's call it old way of thinking. The plan seems to be to destroy enough and control enough to have some one come down from heaven and show bring peace. There is no mentions that i have found of that god giving instruction that that ole way is dead. However that is what needs to happen in order for me to accept your religion as peaceful.

There is not one verse in the Quran that allows Muslims to murder people because of their religion.
There are versus referring to the time when the Muslims were persecuted 1400 years ago.
