Jihad is simply the quran's way of enforcing a state of peaceful coexistence and Ansary is merely advocating peace by force.
Whether by burning flags, suicide bombers, threats, religious riots e.t.c. all serve one major goal, ensuring we all live in peace with one another.

I wonder who is not being reasonable here. Babs had his questions answered and talking about being insultive, I believe that you should know whom to direct that to. raheem,babs787, in case you pretend not to know.

The facts boil down to one thing and one thing only: there's no jihad in the career of Jesus Christ, regardless your sweated and pained effort to interpret Biblical verses as such.

Ok, we shall see as we proceed.

Quote
# Did Jesus Christ go out to attack cities or promise damsels and booties for those who take up a jihad in His name?


Are you referring to God of the Ot or NT? In case you missed it, read below please.


2 Chronicles 15:13:All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman. 


Can you please explain the reason behind the killing?


Numbers 31:7,17-18: ""They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man, Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.   

What is the reason behind the killing?


Numbers 25 v 17: Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them,
18 because they treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the affair of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of Peor."


Can you please explain the above too?


Numbers 31 v 7-12: 7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. 
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

Explain the above please.


Quote
# Is there any Hadith or even verse in the Qur'an that teaches that Jesus Christ went to war against people in just the same way that Muhammad did?

In case you missed the verses above, here is another verses for you.


Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst.  And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city.   (Zechariah 14:1-2)


Why the killing and sharing of spoils?


Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)


Can you explain the reason for the above killing?


Quote
Even Muslims, (in comparing the careers of Moses, Jesus and Muhammad based on Deut. 18:15 & 18 for 'the Prophet'), usually state that Muhammad was a military leader, while Jesus Christ was not! Grin

Take a look at the table of comparison in the following link, where Muhammad is clearly said to have gone after his enemies in hot pursuit with battles; while Jesus Christ did no such:


      2. A Prophet Like Moses

      Encounters with enemies:

         Moses - Hot Pursuit

         Muhammad - Hot pursuit w/ battles

         Jesus  - n/a

      Source: http://www.bilderberg.org/crusade/Islam.htm

No matter how you argue this topic, you can't evade the fact that Muhammad was a warmonger who predicated paradise on warfare for Muslims.



Brother, you claimed that Muhammed was a warmonger, please explain the below verses and the reason for killing by your God Jesus of the OT.

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man  by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)

He even ordered the killing of women


Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)


Now Muhammed fought the pagans to repel oppression and never transgressed limit, but here  God Jesus of the OT, ordering the killing of men, women, children and everything that breathes

Deuteronomy 20:16: However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.


Can you tell me why he ordered the killing of living things, even animals?



1 Samuel 15:2-4
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.

Why did they kill woman, infant, sucking, oxen, sheep, camel and ass, please for what purpose and did those animals and the innocent children offend God?


Quote
By lumping up every Christian that way, you've displayed your seething bias and prejudice. The same arguments applies to your Muslim apologists who have jumped into threads and sought to ridicule Christianity. Go ask babs787 who has a second-to-none reputation for that on this Forum. He often advanced the excuse that he was only 'retaliating' until he was exposed for who he really was - his "tit-for-tat" games could not compare with his infelicity of referring to your own Muslim translators as "deluded authors that lied in order to deceive"!! I haven't seen any Muslim reaction to that on this Forum, other than the joke you guys often come with as highlighted in your quote above.


It is not my problem, you may shout from now till tomorrow for all I care. You keep mentioning babs as being the one that has been deriding your faith, give me just a verse where I have done that and I will back it with verses from both the bible and the Quran. I learnt that when you post anything about muslims, nobody cautions you nor do muslims accuse you of 'deriding' but when muslims ask any questions, you quickly conclude that they are deriding your faith. Babs has not been around now and you have not stopped you mischief, but trust me, when I am back, I will be back for good.

Quote from: babs787 on June 12, 2007, 04:42 PM
Are you referring to God of the Ot or NT? In case you missed it, read below please.

Are your arguments against Jews or Christians, babs787?

Quote from: babs787 on June 12, 2007, 04:42 PM
2 Chronicles 15:13:All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

Can you please explain the reason behind the killing?

That verse did not state that God ordered a jihad there, please. It was rather pointing to the covenant that the Jews made among themselves, if you read it in its context:

   (12) And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart
   and with all their soul; (13) That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put
   to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (14) And they sware unto the LORD
   with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

As you can see, there were no killings in the verse you quoted.

Quote from: babs787 on June 12, 2007, 04:42 PM
Numbers 31:7,17-18: ""They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man, Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

What is the reason behind the killing?

Read from verse 1:

Numbers 31: (1) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, (2) "Avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people." (3) So Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the LORD's vengeance on Midian.

Now, it may be asked: what was Midian's fault? Were they entirely blameless as to have invited unprovoked attack upon themselves?

On the contrary, we find the reason for this engagement given earlier in Numbers 25. The Midianites were the principal instigators of idolatory and lewdness - two very serious issues that were deliberately forged against Israel to weaken them spiritually:

      (16) And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, (17) "Harass the Midianites and strike them down,
      (18) for they have harassed you with their wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of Peor,
      and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the chief of Midian, their sister, who was killed on
      the day of the plague on   account of Peor."

The Israelites did not just get up and go after the Midianites in order to 'prove' that Moses engaged in jihad. The verses you quote should be read in their contexts.

Quote from: babs787 on June 12, 2007, 04:42 PM

18 because they treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the affair of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of Peor."

And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2)

Since when did Zechariah 14:1-2 become a part of the Hadith or Qur'an? Do you mind taking a second look at his question inserted in your quote, please? Did Jesus go out to war against people in just the way that Muhammad did?

Quote from: babs787 on June 12, 2007, 04:42 PM
Why the killing and sharing of spoils?

Zechariah 14:1-2 does not rpove Jihad; if it does, then you have clearly made the case that the fundamental meaning of Jihad is warfare; since you're using those verses in the Bible to suppose the meaning of Jihad.

Meanwhile, Zechariah 14:1-2 declares what the hostile nations will do against Jerusalem: they shall besiege the city and take it captive as they had always wanted to do (cf. Psa. ) - so God gathers them against Jerusalem to do just as they had always wished:

      (1) Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
      (2) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and
      the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
      and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

But when you read on through verse 3, you will find what happens next: the LORD visits those hostile nations who came against Jerusalem, and He judges them for their plunders against the city and its inhabitants:

      (3) Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought
      in the day of battle. (4) And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
      which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst
      thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and
      half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
      (5) And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall
      reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days
      of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Compare this with Joel 3:1-3  --

      (1) For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity
      of Judah and Jerusalem, (2) I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into
      the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my
      heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land
.
      (3) And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold
      a girl for wine, that they might drink.

So, if you take time to read the verses you quoted, they do not have the meaning of the Islamic Jihad you're trying to cop out from the Bible.

The case you're bringing up for Muhammad as never transgressing limits is not supported by Muslim sources; neither does Muhammad's adventures square with what Moses did. By making reference to "God Jesus of the OT", it would mean that you see Him as the God of the OT, yes or no?

"But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God."

1 Samuel 15:2-4
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.

Why did they kill woman, infant, sucking, oxen, sheep, camel and ass, please for what purpose and did those animals and the innocent children offend God?

So, they offended God - which would mean that Islam teaches precisely the same thing, NO?

Quote from: babs787 on June 12, 2007, 04:42 PM
It is not my problem, you may shout from now till tomorrow for all I care. You keep mentioning babs as being the one that has been deriding your faith, give me just a verse where I have done that and I will back it with verses from both the bible and the Quran. I learnt that when you post anything about muslims, nobody cautions you nor do muslims accuse you of 'deriding' but when muslims ask any questions, you quickly conclude that they are deriding your faith. Babs has not been around now and you have not stopped you mischief, but trust me, when I am back, I will be back for good.

When you go through the threads, you will find that you're clearly mixing up issues. I simply want to know just one thing, babs787: what is the basis of your deriding Jesus Christ, regardless of whatever anyone does or says? I just simply want to know what is informing your attitude so that I know how next to relate with you.

Are you referring to God of the Ot or NT? In case you missed it, read below please.

Are your arguments against Jews or Christians, babs787?


Is God of the OT different from NT?
Do Jews and Christians serve different God?

Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
2 Chronicles 15:13:All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

Can you please explain the reason behind the killing?

That verse did not state that God ordered a jihad there, please. It was rather pointing to the covenant that the Jews made among themselves, if you read it in its context:

   (12) And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart
   and with all their soul; (13) That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put
   to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (14) And they sware unto the LORD
   with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

As you can see, there were no killings in the verse you quoted.


Brother, I want you to know that we are not kids here, so please let us be honest when attending to issues here. Now you claimed that there was no killing but this is part of the verse 'that whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put
   to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman',
meaning that whoever does not seek him would be killed. Anybody that did not seek him would be killed. And if I may ask you, why did God want to kill anybody that would not seek his face? What do you call that? Is that not killing in his cause?



Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
Numbers 31:7,17-18: ""They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man, Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but
save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

What is the reason behind the killing?

Quote
Read from verse 1:

Numbers 31: (1) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, (2) "Avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people." (3) So Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the LORD's vengeance on Midian.

I thought God is of peace, must he avenge the death of the people of Israel?

Quote
Now, it may be asked: what was Midian's fault? Were they entirely blameless as to have invited unprovoked attack upon themselves?

On the contrary, we find the reason for this engagement given earlier in Numbers 25. The Midianites were the principal instigators of idolatory and lewdness - two very serious issues that were deliberately forged against Israel to weaken them spiritually:

Brother, but you blame muslims for fighting the pagans in Mecca when they oppressed muslims and never allowed them to practice their faith.

Quote
      (16) And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, (17) "Harass the Midianites and strike them down,
      (18) for they have harassed you with their wiles, with which they beguiled you in the matter of Peor,
      and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the chief of Midian, their sister, who was killed on
      the day of the plague on   account of Peor."

The Israelites did not just get up and go after the Midianites in order to 'prove' that Moses engaged in jihad. The verses you quote should be read in their contexts.

The same goes for Muslims too. Muslim did not just wake up and started fighting the pagans, the pagans caused it and Muslims had to repel aggression.


Quote
Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
Numbers 25 v 17: Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them,
18 because they treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the affair of Peor and their sister Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of Peor."

Can you please explain the above too?

Refer just above.

Brother just like the war fought by the prophet against the pagans.



Quote
Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
Numbers 31 v 7-12: 7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

Explain the above please.

As above.


Can you compare the above to that of the prophet? You do accuse Muhammed of fighting but here we read that God commanded Moses to kill them.

# Is there any Hadith or even verse in the Qur'an that teaches that Jesus Christ went to war against people in just the same way that Muhammad did?

In case you missed the verses above, here is another verses for you.

Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2)

Since when did Zechariah 14:1-2 become a part of the Hadith or Qur'an? Do you mind taking a second look at his question inserted in your quote, please? Did Jesus go out to war against people in just the way that Muhammad did?

Brother, this is part of the question 'has Jesus Christ went to war against people in just the same way that Muhammad did?' He was trying to say that Jesus never went to war and I decided to give him verse where such happened.

Quote
Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
Why the killing and sharing of spoils?

Zechariah 14:1-2 does not rpove Jihad; if it does, then you have clearly made the case that the fundamental meaning of Jihad is warfare; since you're using those verses in the Bible to suppose the meaning of Jihad.


Is Jihad not fighting in the cause of God? Please brother, why did God want to fight them and what is the reason for his fighting and killing them?


Quote
Meanwhile, Zechariah 14:1-2 declares what the hostile nations will do against Jerusalem: they shall besiege the city and take it captive as they had always wanted to do (cf. Psa. ) - so God gathers them against Jerusalem to do just as they had always wished:

      (1) Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
      (2) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and
      the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
      and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

But when you read on through verse 3, you will find what happens next: the LORD visits those hostile nations who came against Jerusalem, and He judges them for their plunders against the city and its inhabitants:

      (3) Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought
      in the day of battle. (4) And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
      which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst
      thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and
      half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
      (5) And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall
      reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days
      of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

My question again, why did God fight? Is the killing not for his cause?


Quote
Compare this with Joel 3:1-3  --

      (1) For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity
      of Judah and Jerusalem, (2) I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into
      the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my
      heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
      (3) And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold
      a girl for wine, that they might drink.

So, if you take time to read the verses you quoted, they do not have the meaning of the Islamic Jihad you're trying to cop out from the Bible.



What do you understand by Jihad, is it not striving in God's cause? Why did the above happened and why did God intervene?




Quote

Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
Brother, you claimed that Muhammed was a warmonger, please explain the below verses and the reason for killing by your God Jesus of the OT.

Is this merely for the sake of argument; or you actually believe that Jesus Christ is the God of the OT?


I didnt believe and you should please tell if the God of Peace in the NT  is the same as that of the OT

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)

Brother, how will they know a virgin? Why the killing of innocent women and kids?

Quote
He even ordered the killing of women

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)

Another needless repetition: refer above.


No brother, must you kill women and innocent kids because you are fighting for GOD? Is Jihad not the same as fighting for God in HIS CAUSE)

Quote

Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
Now Muhammed fought the pagans to repel oppression and never transgressed limit, but here God Jesus of the OT, ordering the killing of men, women, children and everything that breathes

The case you're bringing up for Muhammad as never transgressing limits is not supported by Muslim sources; neither does Muhammad's adventures square with what Moses did. By making reference to "God Jesus of the OT", it would mean that you see Him as the God of the OT, yes or no?


Let me have the sources please. Is God of the OT  same as NT?
Quote

Quote from: babs787 on Today at 04:42:53 PM
Deuteronomy 20:16: However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.

Can you tell me why he ordered the killing of living things, even animals?

Deuteronomy 20:17 & 18
"But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God."


So brother, is that not killing in his cause?

Quote

Why did they kill woman, infant, sucking, oxen, sheep, camel and ass, please for what purpose and did those animals and the innocent children offend God?

Even in your reply, you emphatically came round to state my point: the verse did not say they WERE killed; as you have hinted - WOULD be killed. These are two very different things. As for the answers you're seeking, please refer to where I offered them.

Quote from: babs787 on June 12, 2007, 09:19 PM

The same goes for Muslims too. Muslim did not just wake up and started fighting the pagans, the pagans caused it and Muslims had to repel aggression.

As a Christian, I'm not asked to do so. As a Jew, I could see your point. The Qur'an clearly distinguishes between Jews and Christians: Am I wrong?

Muhammad was a warrior; Moses also was. What Muslims have tried to do is make Jesus look like a warrior in the same way that Muhammad engage in Jihad. The Son of God is nowhere recorded in the Qur'an as having done that; so what is your point here, babs787?

Why did you refer to jesus as an impotent man who did not impregnat any women at the age of 30; and then you called that a "tit-for-tat" when Telly B (if I remember clearly) called your attention to that? Was it really necessary for your to go that far? When I have the time, I'll post the link; but I think it is a bit childish to try and deny what you have done.

Is your brain box empty? You guys are so dumb and will never sit back to think. Have you ever asked questions why some  things are the way they are in your sect? Christians do that.
"God wants you as a slave and not His son"  Gush  Shocked.
I know muslims, even an Imam, that have left Islam and they will tell you that there are lots of loop holes and unanswered questions.

Why are muslims are so violent and intolerant?
