Dear WebDevil:
Thank you for being in my post. And It is an honor that some of your relatives are among the army of their homeland. That is a proof of loving one’s
homeland and it is thus a proof of faith. Prophet Muhammad said: “Loving one’s homeland is a sign of faith.”
But there is different between those good soldiers and between the nasty soldiers who did what they did in Iraq.
This appears to be a contradiction so I'm asking you to clarify it. Does someone have to draw first blood or can it be as simple as forbidding
muslims from protelytizing?
Go back to what I said earlier. I said there are 3 reasons to declare a war against someone and one of it is if we are prevented from spreading our
religion.
The proof of that is not in the Quran but in prophet Muhammad’s quote.
I assume you mean when I questioned the motives of some religious leaders. Last year a small retarded palestian boy was captured by IDF trying to
cross over. He was packed with explosives. It is one thing for an adult to make such a choice to end his life (even if it goes against the teachings
of Mohamad) but it is another when a child is sent to do this. This child's parents were absolutely devasted by this and blamed the local mosque.
There is nothing completely perfect dear.
Thus, if a child did that that doesn’t mean Islam or Muhammad said that.
And by the way, Jihad is only for adults. Therefore, the child was either sent by his parents. OR (that is the stronger), he did that by himself
maybe because one of his relative was killed by the terrorist Israelis.
And last question,
Who is the most terrorist?
The child who (out of pressure) tried to kill himself in order to kill one of human devil?
OR
Those Israelis who killed tens of thousand of people by massacres and who have 200 nuclear bomb that are eligible to finish mankind?
You assume I have no sympathy for or do not understand the Palestinian's plight - you would be wrong. But I do believe the present course taken by
some of the more radical elements within the Palestinian state do it more harm than good. One that appears to be resulting in the genocide of it's
children with no real gains being made to give the Palestian people total autonomy.
Dear Belys:
Please .. Please .. Please
Use your mind.
If Osama killed only 3000 Americans, then Bush declared war on the world. Do you want Palestinians to stay calm while more that 100,000 person was
killed?
WHAT Palestinians who lost their beloved ones and their jobs can do if ALL countries are against them and with the country that has 200 nuclear
bomb??
Sister >>> The terrorist is well known.
Islam,
The way you came in to these boards sounded as if you were in Syria. Many of us would be very interested in speaking with people who are in the Middle
East, simply to achieve better understanding. Certain moderators on every forum can see the poster's IP. Now knowing that you are in Florida, we do
not know what you have stated in your above replies do represent the view of a (moderate) Syrian in Syria or a (moderate) muslim in America. Which of
course may well be different.
Still, for me some of your explanation of Jihad is valuable, whether it is from a Syrian in Syria or a muslim in America.
Anyhow, for me you are still welcome on these boards. A friendly discussion between different religions is never wrong.
Dear Blober:
First of all I’ve been in USA for less than 1 year.
Second, don’t think that USA would Americanize us as Muslims.
Third, what I am saying is from the grand Sheikh (Islamic priest) in Syria whopassed away last Septemper.
You can look by yourself in his website.
www.kuftaro.org...
And that is the second most known sheikh in Syria.
bouti.com...
And beside all that. I am giving you the view of ISLAM. I don’t care what some ignorant Muslims think.
Hello to you Islam. I have many questions about Jihad.
In my african culture we have a cultural dance where we work ourselves up into a fury of energy before we go out and kill our enemies.
After eating the sacred plants which reveal the spirits to us we dance in unison with our spears in our hands making grunts that imagine the spear
thrusting deep in the body of our victim.
In Islam do you have such a tradition. How can you get into a warrier trance when you nose is on the ground and your is in the air? Are you awaiting
the holy foot to launch you into battle?
Hi Mala
It was interesting to know about your culture.
Well, Islam is not a tradition. It is a religion.
So there is nothing traditionally happen in Jihad.
However, there are some rules should be followed.
1. It is prohibited to kill an injured person.
2. It is prohibited to kill woman, child, old man, or any one who is not fighting.
3. It is prohibited to cut a tree or a plant.
4. It is prohibited to kill a cattle or animal.
5. One who fight, should fight for the sake of God or his homeland only but not to show off.
I hope that answer your question.
Islam has the power to band together to fight non muslims who are viewed as doing injustice to your people, such as in Isreal.
Correct.
Yet Islam is never used to help Muslims from other Muslims. Saddam is an example. There was no 'Jihad' against him, and he did more harm to Muslims
then the US and Isreal combined have.
Why is Islam only used as a tool to fight wars against non Muslims? How come Muslims don't come to the aid of their brothers when it is another
Muslim causing them harm?
You are 100% wrong.
Jihad on Saddam had to be done and it happened 4 times during his ruling of Iraq.
1. Muslim Iranians fought him.
2. The Kurd in northern Iraq fought him but they stop when he made the massacre in Halabja which killed thousands of innocents.
3. When he tried to occupy Kuwait. Most of the Arabic countries except some send troops to fight Iraqies in boarder of Kuwait. Muslim Syrians were
among them.
4. The Shiia Muslims who made a rebellion against him in 1991.
That about Saddam. BUT Muslims did fight many Bad Muslims through History.
The most known one Is when Imam Husain (Muhammad’s grandchild) fought Yazeed who was the worst caliph.
Finally God said in the Quran:
“And if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peace between them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards the other, fight that which acts
wrongfully until it returns to Allah's command; then if it returns, make peace between them with justice and act equitably; surely Allah loves those
who act equitably.” [049.00]
Dear Iainwh:
Kharijiis briefly decided to kill Ali, Muawiya, and Sa’d.
They did and killed Ali. But the other two weren’t killed.
They are NOT considered as Muslims because of the problems they’ve done.
And there are no Kariji right now.
