yes o. Christianity started with Jesus and he never killed, fought war and asked his desciples to kill.

ilynem:
Who is sponsoring them? Simple answer. Your Muslim leaders. You come up with that west sponsoring Isis, blah blah blah you and I know that's total jargons. After the death of Muhammad how did Islam spread? Jihad! And why? That was the nom. Show me one place in the Koran that it says Islam is the religion of peace? No place! That term 'religion of peace" came up in the 20th century and that was after you Muslims started playing the defensive. And as for the Koran being an error free book? Hhahahahahahahahahahahahaha. It called Mary the sister of Aaron for heaven's sake. Those two lived about 1400 years apart!
And I can see you are in the "Bible has been corrupted" camp. You have the real bible? Oh please I will love to see it. You think the Bible is like the Koran that has no historical backings? Just one man saying "the words of Allah"? Every letter of the Bible is still available in ancient Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. If they want to re-write the entire Bible from those manuscripts, it can be rewritten. What do you think theologians study? Those manuscripts! If there were changes they would have spotted it including Islamic theologians. My brother don't be ignorant. The Bible hasn't changed.
I am waiting.

ThinkSmarter:
u tried.
I am not here to slight Islam or their holy prophet.
I hv Moslems friends that are very nice.
But that doesn't change the fact that so many terrorists are Moslems claiming to be defending and fighting Allah's cause.
I am a Christian but, I do hv the conviction that Mohammed might hv had a divine touch due to his link with the lineage of Ishmael, the 1st son of Abraham begot to him by Hagai, the Egyptian girl.
Abrahamic religion [Islam, Judaism and Christianity ] believe in monotheism. [ Allah, God or Yahweh ] as the only God.
But some Islamic teachings re inciting hate against the other two.
I suggest, if moderacy rather than extremism is applied in the teaching of Islam by the imams and alphas, radicalism will be reduced a bit.

ilynem:
And you are even cherry Picking the same verse. Before I get there, can I just say maybe its Allah that is confused. You can't call the descendants of Cain and Abel children of Israel. That title is for the children of Jacob. Not even Abraham. So either you are confused or Allah is. Pick one.
Now to the verse. Am glad u agree that those who don't believe in Allah should be fought. And as for "the Muslims" included, isn't that why Boko haram bomb mosques too? Because they believe you all are doing things unlawfully. And guess what? They are right. So you Koran says, fight the unbelievers (and this isn't WWE, this is fight with a sword, hence kill). This part is for infidels like me and the atheists.
Then fight the Muslims who do not obey the law: this part is for you "peaceful" Muslims who do not obey the first law.
Now you said the Jizyah is a tax by those under a Muslim government? What a nice way to put it. The Jizyah is a form of oppression. Let's see this:

Sahih Muslim (1:33) - "I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah.'s The "protection" needed by the unbeliever is from Muhammad himself. In other words, the jizya is paid by the non-Muslim in exchange for not being killed.

The Jews were the profit enemies cuz, the Jews refused to accept him as the true prophet of Yahweh, cuz it was not revealed to them.
So he [profit ] declared war on them and Christians for their non acceptance of his prophethood. Just like the way he waged war against Medina and Mecca and finally conquered them.
Islam broke into two major sects following the death of Muhammad Sunni [Abubakar group ] And Shia [ Ali group ].
ISIS/ ISIL, Al Qadar, Al Shabab and Boko Haram re all Islamic extremists fighting for the fundamental interpretation and implementation of Islamic laws as recorded in the Hadiths and Quran.
The above sects re all Sunni Moslems.
They are otherwise called Islamic Fundamentalists.
Defend urself, u really can't defend Islam.
That's y Nairaland hv restricted non Moslems from commenting on Islamic post.
Remove compulsion from Islam today and watch how many people that will denounce their faith.

gbegemaster:
Permit me to step in. Since you are not in support of those who kill in the name of Islam, what is the punishment according to Islamic laws for the likes of Boko Haram?

Can any other person assist with the answer to the question above.? Shafiiimran99. Yusuf54. lfleak. Emusan.

Goroz:
I'm sure you know that incident isn't the inception of cats having self-righting mechanism, but you still believe it

ilynem:
Ha! Since when did Children of Israel become defendants of Cain and Abel? Children of Israel, are descendants of Israel who is Jacob! Don't confuse it please. And I knew you will bring up the defensive war argument. Didn't want to bring out Koran 9 but now I have to.
Koran 9:29 - Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
So there you go. I didn't see any "self defence" there. Or maybe am not seeing well. Please show me.
I await you

If u need another one, let me know.

Ah! Calling me names! I won't be surprised. You lot are inherently violent. Now back to the verse, we are saying the same thing. That rule was made for the children of Israel! Not for Muslims. For the Jews! The Jews are infidels remember? Now look at the next verse for those who wage war against Allah and his prophet (hence followers like you). Look at the sickening way in which they should be punished.
I await you here.

ilynem:
There you go. You don't even know your own Koran. And by the way, I don't care how you spell it. That's how I spell mine.

BUTCHCASSIDY:
Now here is where the problem lies
The intelligent ones wont take steps to make sure the foolish ones see the light. When the foolish ones unleash their violence the intelligent ones cant be bothered cos it doesnt affect them they watched these illiterates breed. Today they have become BH and are threatening their lifesty hence the public outcry for understanding and pity.

ThinkSmarter:
Forget all these stories.
I hv Quran in my phone.
If u doubt me, I will screen shot the chapters where Muslims are commanded not to be friends to Jews and Christians.
They were also called to firmly stand against infidels, rise and kill them.
I was watching an ISIS video i downloaded from Al Jazeera site.
In the video, u will hear the ISIS fighters quoting the Quran to back up all their actions.
U may be a moderate Muslim.
But the extremists are the main Moslems following the actions of the profit written in the Hadiths and in the kkkkoran

mmsen:
See lies.

The Quran has several verses calling for kufr to be killed.

He mentioned 9 and he gave 2. Again he categorized JAVASCRIPT under JAVA. I think the guy should just focus on his SPECS nd PRICE reviews.....nd not dabble into programing stuff. I guess its a sponsored post.

BUTCHCASSIDY:
Not according to them O
They see themselves as the best muslims in fact listening to them you will think the Prophet was a Hausa man

Goroz:
Mr. OP, are you saying that before the good prophet's encounter with the cats, cats had no self-righting mechanism?

Ifleak and other Muslims who believe the story, I await your response

BUTCHCASSIDY:
But these Hausa guys eat cats. The hunt down people's cats in the most gruesome manner then roast and eat them. Please can someone explain

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was tender and kind towards cats. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) appreciated cats. Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 's favorite cat was called Muezza. There is a well-known story regarding the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Muezza.

When the call to prayers was heard, Muezza was asleep on one of the sleeves of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) robes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wanted to wear the robe to go to prayers. Rather than disturb Muezza, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) robes cut off the sleeve to leave Muezza in peace. Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then stroked the cat three times, which, it is said, granted Muezza seven lives and the ability to land on his feet at all times (as you might know, cats have a self-righting mechanism, a righting reflex, which is a complex series of movements when a cat falls and which protects the cat from breaking her back).

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)was so attached to his cat that when he gave sermons he let Muezza rest on his lap and he also drank from water previously drunk by his cat. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also did his ablutions from the same water that was drunk by a cat. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) seemed to treat his cat in the same way as cat lovers do today but even cat lovers might think twice about drinking the same water that had been drunk by a cat for fear of transmission of disease from the cat’s saliva (but see below).

Islam teaches Muslims to treat cats well and that the cat is a creature to be cherished and loved. Mistreating a cat is regarded as a severe sin in Islam.

Cats according to the Qur`an and Sunnah

An example as to how Muslims are punished for mistreating cats can be found in the `ahadith (oral traditions telling the story of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and which have been recorded in writing). When a woman kept a cat locked up and failed to feed the cat until the cat died, the woman was tortured and "put to hell.”

Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“A woman was tormented because of a cat which she had confined until it died and she had to get into Hell. She did not allow it either to eat or drink as it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the insects of the earth”. (Sahih Muslim)

It is believed that you will suffer no harm if you drink from the cat’s water provided no impurities are seen in the cat’s mouth. In another story from the `ahadith, it is stated that a when a cat ate a pudding put down during prayers, the person who was in charge of the pudding ate from the same place as the cat and Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said this was alright as the cat is not unclean and is "one of those who go around amongst us".

Narrated Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), Ummul Mu'minin:

“Dawud ibn Salih ibn Dinar at-Tammar quoted his mother as saying that her mistress sent her with some pudding (harisah) to Aisha who was offering prayer. She made a sign to me to place it down. A cat came and ate some of it, but when Aisha finished her prayer, she ate from the place where the cat had eaten. She stated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“It is not unclean: it is one of those who go round among you”. She added: “I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performing ablution from the water left over by the cat”.” (Abu Dawood)

Islam teaches Muslims that, in relation to a cat:

1.) The cat should not be sold for money or other traded goods.

Narrated Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prohibited eating the cat and from its price."(Jami` at-Tirmidhi)

Abu Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

I asked Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the price of a dog and a cat; he said: “Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disapproved of that”. (Sahih Muslim)

2.) Cats saliva is harmless unless the cat has "visible impurities" in the mouth.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha from Humayda bint Abi Ubayda ibn Farwa that her maternal aunt Kabsha bint Kab ibn Malik, who was the wife of the son of Abu Qatada al-Ansari, told her that once Abu Qatada was visiting her and she poured out some water for him to do wudu with. Just then a cat came to drink from it, so he tilted the vessel towards it to let it drink. Kabsha continued, "He saw me looking at him and said, 'Are you surprised, daughter of my brother?' I said, 'Yes.' He replied that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, cats are not impure. They intermingle with you’. "

Yahya said that Malik said, "There is no harm in that unless one sees impurities on the cat's mouth." (Muwatta Malik)

Humaidah bint Ubaid bin Rifa'ah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated:

"Kabshah bint Ka'b bin Malik - she was (married) with Ibn Abi Qatadah - narrated "That Abu Qatadah visited her, [so she said:] 'So I poured water for him to use for Wudu.' She said: 'A cat came to drink, so he lowered he container until it drank.' Kabshah said: 'So he saw me looking at it and said, "O my niece! Are you surprised at that?" So I said yes.He said: "Indeed Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said 'It is not impure, it is only one of those roam around among you.'" (Jami` at-Tirmidhi)

3.) Muslims are free to live with cats but they must treat cats well, providing the cat with enough water and food and giving "roaming time" (a degree of freedom of movement)

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)said: "Cats do not invalidate the prayer, because they are one of the things that are useful in the house." (Sunan Ibn Majah)

'A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being'

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was a close Companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and has narrated more hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), than any other Companion. He (may Allah be pleased with him) was known for being very sympathetic and loving towards animals so much so that although his name was `Abdur-Rahman, he was known as Abu Hurayrah, meaning “father of the kitten.” He (may Allah be pleased with her) was called so because of a small cat that he used to feed and care for and carry with him everywhere he went.

("Cat" word comes from the Arabic word qit/Hirra but a tiny male cat is called hurayrah, or thus In Arabic, Hirra means cat and Hurayra means a kitten.)
