Please brothers help me empire.e, is he ashamed of Islam that he has consistently refused to answer the question regarding its position on war, how it is to be fought and how to treat civilians? Please help me ask why all this pivot to right akin to talking about the Gestation period of elephant? Emp.iree why can't you use Islam as the criterion to judge Assad's actions? Let frame the question as follows:

1. Does Islam permits killing people who questions the way you are ruling them or demand their rights?

2. What is Islam Position on Fighting Wars with regards to the rights of civilians?

2. What does Islam says targeting civilians?

3. Does Islam support the use of Chemical weapons, indiscriminate bombings of civilians, starving civilians, burning them etc?

4. Does Islam permit the support of terrorist organizations like al qaeda, which we learn Assad did during US occupation of Iraq?

4. Does you the Assad regime which you are more favorably dispose to adhere to these Islamic principles?

let me stop here, brothers please help me beg Empi.ree to answer the question and not bore us with red herrings
I am sorry brother. If my two posts i re-quoted did not clear my stance on this, I wont bother myself. You're focusing too much on Assad, the same thing you said, Shias could say the same of Sunni regime elsewhere. I hope you reason. Islamic rules of engagement of war is crystal clear. So I dont know why you asking me. So please read my first post and the second one. And please stop selling me propaganda about his chemical weapons nonsense. Cant believe you would spread that propaganda that was confuted.

FILE OF A FORMER PASTOR MATHEW OYEWOLE TESTIMONY OF HIS REVERT TO ISLAM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


My name is Pastor Mathew Oyewole. I was a senior pastor from fountain life bible mission. I became a Muslim when i proceeded to an Advanced Bible school where they use Greek to teach to further my knowledge in the bible. I was one of those admitted into the school after thorough screening.

On admission into the school, all admitted students were seriously warned to keep whatever they see in the school to themselves.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

One day, i was studying the bible with a friend and we got to this verse:

----
John 1: 19-25 :
19-And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20-And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21-And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In our quest to know who was the prophet, we went to the school library to check the verses in a more detailed bible kept in the library. To our surprise, where they asked John, ARE YOU THOU PROPHET? We saw ARE YOU MUHAMMAD? in the bible.


We were so astonished to see the name of Muhammad in the bible & that prompted us to go to a lecturer in the bible school to ask for the reason why Muhammad's name is in the bible.
*******


The lecturer said Muhammad's name is in the bible and he came after Jesus. He said, the race of prophethood is like a relay race. He said without Muhammad, all efforts of the previous prophets would have resulted to nothing.

The confession of the lecturer was a big blow on me. Many things were discovered in the bible school. On completing the bible course, i decided to denounce Christianity but not easy because of the enjoyment, entitlement & agreement between myself and the church.


I had in my mind that if i die as a Christian after knowing the truth or hide the truth discovered from being known to the public, God will not forgive me.

To cut the story short, i dumped Christianity to ISLAM.


My conversion was a hell from the church that sent me to the bible school. They planned to terminate my life,
*******************

SEE, HE WAS THREATENED ^^^


Commentary:

The rejected christianity of former pastor is when he discovered Muhammad's name written in a reference bible hidden in the library of an advanced bible school. The Pastor embraced Islam when a lecturer of the school confirmed the prophet hood and messengership of Muhammed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


( CONTINUATION )
When i became a Muslim, the Christian community in the old Benin state where i was serving as a pastor were so disturbed especially the church i was overseeing then.
^^^^^^^


Before my conversion to Islam, i was one of the pastors selected in Nigeria trained and sponsored by America to see to the downfall of islam in Africa starting with Nigeria under the leadership of Late Benson Idahosa. U.S spent a lot of money on us just to bring down Islam and that was when we embarked on aggressive crusade in Nigeria with printing and displaying of beautiful and gigantic posters/ banners around the country. We moved from one state to another but instead of seeing the fall of Islam, it was Idahosa that died.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



As i was saying,, when the elders of my church heard of my conversion to Islam, they were so worried. They plotted to kill me by pouring acid on me but one of those that loves me in the church came to inform me of the deadly plot of the elders in the church. I and my family left the house with all our belongings to Oyo state.


I thought everything has ended but surprisingly, these elders with the support of CAN Benin chapter came to Oyo state with police men to arrest me. I was highly supported by the universal Muslim brothers under the leadership of Olanrewaju Adepoju, a very popular Ewi master then.


I was arrested and taken to Benin. They filed a case against me in a court on the fact that i left christianity or their church after spending a lot on me by sending me to a bible school without paying back. The judge that presided over the case threatened that before the next court session, i must have dropped my Muslim name and reverted back to christianity.
******* grin NO FREEDOM TO CHOOSE IN CHRISTIANITY shocked


During the next court session, i used turban and immediately the judge set his eyes on me in turban, he was so annoyed and he directed that my case should be called next. The judge ruling on my case, sentenced me to 3 years imprisonment without allowing neither my lawyer nor myself to say anything.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


MY FIRST DAY EXPERIENCE IN PRISON, i was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment without giving me the opportunity of defending myself. I was in the prison together with some people who were spending different jail terms.

Among them was a Hausa man called Dauda and a man called Joseph aka Lion who was regarded as the King of the prison, he was very huge, fat and fierce looking. As i was locked inside the prison, the provost of the prison instructed Joseph aka Lion to deal with me. (This is just because i left Christianity to islam). As Joseph was coming to me, i started shivering but as Allah would have it, a senior prison commander shouted: Lion, go back. He went back immediately and i felt so relieved.
*********************


INDIAN HEM WRAPPED WITH BIBLE These people(miscreants) except the hausa man used to smoke Indian hem with copies of Gideon bible given to them courtesy of Gideon brothers or foundation. I can not say precisely where/how they got the Indian hem but surely, they smoke it in the prison then.
*******************


FROM A PASTOR TO ISLAMIC PREACHER[/b]My imprisonment gave me the opportunity of preaching Islam to the inmates of the prison. My experience in the bible school was the main instrument of my preaching & by the power of the Almighty, 14 of them accepted islam but then, i was still looking for what to use to prove the reality of Islam to the reverts. Allah crowned my mission with a wonder.
********************


THE WONDERFUL QUR'AN
Don't forget that there was a Hausa man called Dauda in the prison who always read the Qur'an. One day, the king of the prison, Joseph aka Lion said to other inmates of the prison that "Is it only bible we will be using to smoke'?


As he said that, he went straight to Dauda to forcefully collect the quran he was reading. He tore the Quran & remove some leaves out of it to smoke Indian hem. I felt so much disturbed with this action. [u]Joseph used the leaves of the Quran to wrap the Indian hem. He put it in his mouth, brought out a lighter and light the Indian hem. He smoked it first and second time. With in 5 minutes of his smoking, we just discovered that Joseph could not talk, neither move and was just looking like a Zombie. As we stood watching what was happening, Joseph started shouting & defaecate in his trouser. Joseph became a mad man.



That gave me the opportunity of intensifying on my preaching to the prison inmates and as i said earlier, some of them accepted Islam and i give glory to Almighty Allah
********************


NEW SONG OF THE PRISON What happened to Joseph turned out to be the new song of the prison inmates. I became highly respected in the prison
*********************


ALL GLORY TO THE ALMIGHTY Join me to thank Almighty Allah for saving me from the hands of God's enemies. My brothers and sisters, i am saying it with confidence and reality that Islam is the only religion God enjoined on all human beings. This is a religion that covers all ways of life and a religion not named after anybody.

My brothers and sisters, Islam is not in competition with Christianity and other faiths. Islam is unique being the only faith practised and preached by all prophets including the Lion of Judah (Jesus).


This generation belongs to Muhammad and that is in line with what Jesus (Eesa) said: THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU (ISRAELITES) AND SHALL BE GIVEN TO A NATION (SAUDI ARABIA) PRODUCING THE FRUITS FORTH.

WITH HONESTY, ISLAM IS THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION

PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!

Stalwert:
Clearly you have serious confusions like citing the US behavior to justify what Assad do, when will you cite Islam to judge the actions of Assad? Is it when you beards have turned white? Ok Assad is right not because Islam says so but because the US does the same thing? I am still waiting when you will tell us the What are the rules of engagement/fighting war according to Islam not Assad or Russia or the US just what Islam says about how to go about fighting wars. I pray you have the courage to finally look up what Islam really says about how to fight wars. It is a pity that you don't even know what a dissenter is talk more of comparing a govt that kills its citizen when they protest with one who basically uses teargas. It is even hypocritical when you quote one piece of information and leave teh other bits out.
My first comment,

Empiree:
This thing is really sad. I see this make lots of waves on Facebook. Dont know why politicians mysteriously silent on this issue. Their voices recently were hypocritical. Both sides of the conflict are guilty. May Allah punish aggressors with severe possible punishments.

Far as I am concern, for this so called "Arab spring" to be dragging to this level since 2011, it means the current events unfolding may eventually lead to prophecies of nabi Muhammad(SAW) emerging from Syria.
shows that i was basically nuetral and condemned BOTH SIDES. You and the other brother however looked at the whole thing straight up from SECTARIAN view, which I see as absolutely irrelevant. Just wonder your claim to be sad about civilians being killed. Hence, onyocha was right when he said "you have being sectarian." No one wants to see civilians die but using civilians as pawn to point blame just doesn't add up.


I went further to say,

Empiree:
^

What i do know for sure is there is no way Syrian govt would not have committed some sort of atrocities. It is part of war.

Anyways, civilian deaths really gives me sleepless night. Thats really my concern now
Yet, you both ignored my comments and continued your sectarian approach. Now, I am not opposed to them "speaking the truth before tyrant" as you rightly quoted but DEFINITELY speaking truth before tyrant is not synonymous to taking weapons and money from another tyrannical leaders. Thats something else. You are advocating same thing BH is doing in Nigeria. Folks already accused US and Saudi of funding the people but you still want Nigerian govt to crush BH, isn't?. Nigerian govt committed massacre against civilians in Maiduguri while fighting BH but you all ignored as long as they crush BH. It took American actor who visited the region (as reported on the front page) to speak on the mass murder by Nigerian Army. Yet none of you are concerned about that. You're concerned about murder of civilians thousands of miles away. Hence, Syrian govt sees the rebels just as BH. Thats why i didnt need to reply you earlier.

Besides another reports came yesterday, given us different account of possible foreign powers involved in Aleppo massacre. Isnt any wonder the so called "human rights" all of a sudden are concerned about Aleppo?. But when Israel massacred the Palestinians they folded their arms. In essence, they are "human rights" when it is convenient for them.

Recently this past week, a newly graduated student (aged 31) with a doctoral degree about to start her new career as a Doctor...) was flown into a nearby hospital.

They found a blood clot in her neck, and immediately took her by helicopter to operate. By the time they removed the right half of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain; the clot had spread to her brain causing severe damage.

Since last Wednesday night, she was battling... they induced her into a coma to stop the blood flow, they operated 3 times... Finally, they said there was nothing left that they could do... they found multiple clots in the left side of her brain... the swelling wouldn't stop, and she was on life support...

She died at 4:30 yesterday. She leaves behind a husband, a 2yr old Brandon and a 4yr old Justin... The CAUSE of DEATH - they found was a birth control pill she was taking that allows you to only have your menstrual period 3 times a year... They said it interrupts life's menstrual cycle, and although it is FDA approved... shouldn't be - So to the women in my address book - I ask you to boycott this product and deal with your period once a month - so you can live the rest of the months that your life has in store for you.

Please send this to every woman you know - you may save someone's life... Remember, you have a menstrual CYCLE for a reason!

The name of this new birth control pill is LYBREL. If you go to Lybrel.com http://lybrel.com/, you will find at least 26 pages of information regarding this drug.

The second birth control pill is, SEASONIQUE. If you go to the website of, Seasonique.com http://seasonique/ .com/, you will find 43 pages of information regarding this drug.

The warnings and side effects regarding both pills are horrible. Please, please forward this information to as many daughters AND sons, co-workers, friends and relatives. Several lives have already been changed.

In France after picking groceries in the supermarket, a Niqabi sister stood in the line to pay. After a few minutes, her turn came up at the checkout counter.

The checkout girl was a non-Hijaabi Arab Muslim girl, began to scan the items of the Niqabi sister one by one, and after a while looked at her with arrogance and said: ”We have many problems in this country & your Niqab is one of them!
We, ...immigrants, are here for trade and not to show our Deen or history! If you want to practice your Deen and wear Niqaab then go back to your Arab country and do whatever you want!!"

The Niqaabi sister stopped putting her grocery in the bag and lifted up her Niqaab…

The checkout girl was in total shock. The Niqabi girl who was blonde with blue eyes told her: "I am a French girl, not an Arab immigrant. This is my country and THIS IS MY ISLAM.
You born Muslims sold your Deen and we bought it from you!"

Don't be disappointed, he gleefully posted Putin is the most powerful man on earth and peaceful man despite several evil policies he has propounded. He has forgotten what the rule of war entails, in fact Islam does not matter to him to use as a the ultimate position on all matters, to him Assad has the right to kill Syrians as long as the rebels would be kept at bay, till this moment Islam position on how war should be conducted is not important.
Everything you assumed here is wrong from A-Z. And yet, if we should go by islam, why ignoring order of the prophet to obey the ruler no matter what?

Also, with respect to Putin, that's not me. US media themselves reported this. They reported again few days ago. So why is that my issue?. Google it, Forbes magazine and other rated Putin. So this doesnt apply to me.

Pro-democracy protests erupted in March 2011 in the southern city of Deraa after the arrest and torture of some teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on a school wall. After security forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing several, more took to the streets.

The unrest triggered nationwide protests demanding President Assad's resignation. The government's use of force to crush the dissent merely hardened the protesters' resolve
. By July 2011, hundreds of thousands were taking to the streets across the country.

Opposition supporters eventually began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and later to expel security forces from their local areas.

What you said up there is the same thing happening in the US often time. Police or govt forces kill dissents daily. What difference does it make?. Like black people for instance, if they should take up arms, you would see how govt would crush their movement. You brothers are bidding and playing it cool with their propaganda. And you messed it up by saying "pro-democracy". The same slogan they chanted in Iraq. Where is democracy in Iraq now?. Yes, I had to use BBC, their sister media outlet bcus it said simple fact. You can believe in what you want. My judgement is only through what is reported in islam regarding this. Yes, people do have right to rise to oppression but this one, as Yoruba people would say "o ti ni owo ni inu". They are taking weapons and money from the same people who killed thier muslim brothers elsewhere. In that case, they belong to muslims mentioned in sura Maida ayah 51. They are no longer talking about govt crushed dissents(2011) anymore bcus that was not their agenda. That was tip of iceberg. Their agenda is what's going on now.

IslamRe: Unfair Silence On Aleppo's Tragedy by Empiree: 8:50pm On Dec 17, 2016
This From BBC Few Hours Ago

The northern Syrian city of Aleppo was caught in a brutal four-year deadlock.


It was a key battleground in the war between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and rebels who want to overthrow him. In November, Syrian government forces launched a renewed assault, and rapidly retook almost all of the opposition-held east. By mid-December they had pushed the rebels into just a few neighbourhoods. Tens of thousands of civilians fled those districts, but the UN says hundreds have gone missing since crossing into government-controlled areas - and that rebels prevented some civilians from leaving. On 15 December, the warring sides reached an agreement to end the fighting.


Why did both sides agree to a ceasefire deal? The rebels had been rapidly pushed back into a small enclave, where, along with thousands of civilians, they came under intense bombing. The deal was negotiated between one of the rebels' key backers, Turkey, on one side, and Syria's ally Russia, on the other. It follows a pattern of similar, local ceasefire and evacuation deals which have ended fighting in other besieged rebel-held parts of Syria, such as the Old City of Homs in 2014 and the Damascus suburb of Daraya this August.

Under the terms of the Aleppo deal, rebels and civilians were allowed to be evacuated to rebel-held Idlib province, while civilians in the rebel-besieged mainly Shia villages of Foua and Kefraya in Idlib would be allowed to leave in return - at the insistence of Iran, sponsor of pro-government Shia militias fighting in Aleppo.

Why is Aleppo important?

Aleppo was once Syria's largest city, with a population of about 2.3 million. It was also the country's industrial and financial centre. The old city is a Unesco World Heritage site, and was famous for its 13th Century citadel, 12th Century Great Mosque and huge covered markets, or souks. When the uprising against President Assad erupted in 2011, Aleppo did not see the large protests or the deadly violence that shook other towns and cities. But it suddenly became a battleground in July 2012. Rebel fighters launched an offensive to kick out government forces and gain control over northern Syria. But the rebel assault was not decisive.

Aleppo ended up divided roughly in half - the opposition in control of the east, and the government the west. Over the next four years, the battle for Aleppo became a microcosm of the wider conflict in Syria. It highlighted the weakness of both sides, as well as the failure of the international community to protect civilians and broker a peace agreement.


Who has been fighting?

On the government side, state forces are being supported by Russian air strikes and Shia militias, including fighters from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Pakistan. The predominantly Sunni opposition is made of several rebel groups, many of whom have received financial aid from key opponents of President Assad, including the US, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Hardline Islamist groups are involved too, most notably Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which earlier this year changed its name from the Nusra Front and announced it was cutting ties with al-Qaeda.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-38132163




Question is, why foreign countries funding the rebels?. This is what they cant afford to happen on their own soil. Just like BH, we dont want foreign countries fund them, isnt?. It is clear from BBC report that rebels uprising against govt was instigated by foreign counties. So trying to use civilians as pawn to gain support is irrational to me. No one wants to see civilians death but unfortunately it is not preventable.
IslamRe: Unfair Silence On Aleppo's Tragedy by Empiree:

Demmzy15:
Bro Empiree to be frank, I'm really disappointed to see what you wrote above. Are you justifying the deaths? From your above posts, no civilian deaths gives you nightmare, for you to support this kind of evil.

Asin I'm speechless wallahi, may Allaah have mercy on the Syrians!
I think you missed the point completely. There is propaganda going on right now and people fall for it. The comment above me was right. If you noticed when those crazy people were killing, the West cheered them. None of us is there now to affirm the truth.

Where i reside, everyone keeps saying Assad is this and that. I dont go by majority.

It is very simple. The rebels could simply surrender their weapons to avoid this madness. Govt never surrenders. Govt exercises power and authority. Just like buhari is doing to bh now. Imagine rebels fighting UK govt now, do you think the govt would bow?. No. If Assad should step down, who is it to be there from the rebels side?. This is exactly what i said on libya when everyone was cheering the rebels but i saw it differently and i was right. After rebels took over, they killed US ambassador. But then they were not rebels. They were called "freedom fighters" or something like that. When they killed US person, they are terrorists. It is a game they play.

Unfortunately civilians got caught up in the process. Dont think for a second brother that i support Assad. That's not my point. My point is the rebels that the west funds are no better. They want to them to come to power.

Thank You. I just didnt want to reply him. Why do they not follow the hadith which say "obey authority even if he is black with raising hair"?.

They forgot that us trops are on the ground there as well. ididnt even know that until few days ago when they announced additional 200 troops to fight there. I guess everyone sees things diff.

What i do know for sure is there is no way Syrian govt would not hve committed some sort of atrocities. It is part of war. But fact remain it is legitimate govt. The opposition MUST surrender their weapons bcus they started it. These brothers dont understand that the west trying to place isi.s in power in syria like they did in libya. It has been impossible due to russians.


Anyways, civilian deaths really gives me sleepless night. Thats really my concern now

if its not matter of aqeedah then what? isn't dua a form of worship?



you can't use the virtuousness of the prophet at this moment because he is not with us, there is no daleel for that.


which of his sahabas used his "ola" after his death? the salafs? who?
lol...'ola'. You expect Arab person to say that?. What's is ola?. What's is virtues?. Isn't same thing?.

See, you are entering area beyond what you do not comprehend. The two men above quoted related ahadith regarding this. And there are still some that I can quote. The famous one is sending Salawat on the prophet. What do u think u are doing when you send daroo on him?. And what happens after that? . Didn't hadith tells you Allah restores his soul and he sends back salam to u?. I said this earlier but you might missed it.

Also you saying its worship is off. You might need to check with scholars. Majority say it's figh issue not aqeeda including ibn wahab. This is why they accused you people of not understanding stuff. I'm not really interested in this now. ..that's why I wont detail for now. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG SAYING OLA ANOBI (BY THE VIRTUES OF NABI).

The least you can do is to say those ahadith are 'daef'. You gonna have hardtime to prove that.
