Crime / Re: Jihad, Terrorism And Suicide Bombing: The Classical Islamic Perspective by walepinna(m): 5:12pm On Nov 16, 2015
kindredspirit:


Dude, don't go there.

The France incident has made a lot of people take a closer look at the Islamic religion and most people revert to the Internet to gather information. Trust me, that is the last place you would be directing anybody to give you proof on any subject.

The internet is replete with Hadith' accounts of how Muhammad waged war on defenceless peoples, forcing them to accept his new fangled religion or be put to the sword with their property taken as war spoils, their females married off to Muhammad and his warriors etc.

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/muhammad/myths-mu-self-defense.htm


Now, the argument is were those wars fought by Muhammad in self defence? I think not. The accounts of Muhammad's followers quoting him makes it obvious. In Nigeria, Uthman Dan Fodio, for example, didn't proselytize peacefully in Northern Nigeria. He did so through Jihad, forcefully, just as Muhammed did.

You know, this whole business is really enlightening. Islam is made up of Moderates and extremists. Depending on what side Muslims want to swing, the scriptures provides ample justification templates to the faithful. All my friends who are Muslims are of the moderate persuasion. They populate the Southern part of Nigeria and are least likely to go into a muderous rage if, for example, their prophet is slandered. However, one cannot say the same of some in the North of Nigeria.

I have looked at the ISIS' timelines on twitter hashtag #IslamicState. You can go through it yourself and have a feel of how Islam is practiced under strict Sharia law in their Caliphate- territories in Syria and Iraq seized by ISIS. Just as Muhammad did,according to Hadith, they kill non-muslim Kafirs: the Yazidis, Kurdish Peshmergas etc in those territories and take over their homes and property.

On a sincere note, i appreciate all what you have said and i understand u and if i were not a muslim, i would react the same way.
I am a muslim but not an extremist and i understand my religion...
Let me ask you a question abt the link you provided....What is a Myth?
If u can give me the sincere description of a myth and then relate it to the link i will appreciate it. SINCERELY!

Also, i will say that it is stated in the Quran that

“Whoever kills a person [unjustly]…it is as though he has killed all mankind. And whoever saves a life, it is as though he had saved all mankind.” (Qur’an, 5:32)

So all i will say is that what those people called ISIS or Al-qaeda or boko haram or whosoever they are, are not doing it for the sake of Allah(God).

Jihad means fighting for the course of God.
Christians fought for the sake of God...http://www.answering-christianity.com/jihad_in_bible.htm

So if it says in the Quran that if u kill an innocent soul, its like u have killed all mankind and someone went ahead and killed innocent people at a concert, please is that person a true muslim? Is that person following the teachings of the Quran?

Finally, sharia is not meant to make muslims seem wicked, sharia is meant to bring in sense of decorum. Kindly ask an unbiased christian lawyer about sharia, and see whether sharia is any different from any law of the land...

If you steal, they say cut of the arm that he/she use to steal...If that is implemented, please y would u want to steal?

Who is worse, those doing jungle justice and setting a thief ablaze or cutting the hand that steals...

DONT GET ME WRONG....I AM NOT SAYING SHARIA SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED ALL OVER...I AM JUST SAYING ITS A LAW JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LAW.

ucheuzor1:
I was once reading about mohammed and I saw that it wae!actually mohammed that taught about this jihad or Holy war...The muslim leaders never accepted it initially, but it was the Same mohammed that used force in some cases massarcering a whole city just to ensure that his course is accepted... they had no option than to give in under duress from mohammed... He bamboozled them that anyone that dies during this devilish Holy war is entitled to about 70 virgins if am not mistaken.. That is the killing u are seeing everyday from muslim terrorists... mohammed is the founding father

Kindly provide prove of all what u are saying, i want to learn...
Google the internet and give me quotes of where Muhammad massacre a whole town.
