Your country has fought for your freedom and you spit in its face and insult the soldiers who keep you free. See what muslims do to Christians. http://dog-pundit.blogspot.com/2005/10/horrific-murders-of-christian-school.html
i just saw that on the news.. i am completely horrified. it is almost surreal, i cant even comprehend such a terrible thing.
That's fucked up, man. But you shouldn't say "see what muslims do to christians", because that would imply that all muslims are violent toward christians, and that's not the case. I noticed you are an existentialist. Which means you are supposedly part of a movement that emphasizes individual existance, freedom, and choice. Wouldn't this mean that you believe that people can be good, no matter what their religion happens to be? I don't think your fellow existentialists would agree with your generalization of muslims as bad people, which is what your statement implies.
http://muslim-quotes.netfirms.com/jihad.html Offensive Jihad, Futuhat and Islamic Conquests quotes from islamic websites (note: some of the url's may have become inoperative; updates/new url's will be given here when found) From: The Types of Jihad http://www.ummah.net.pk/harkat/jihad/t-jihad.htm (site is offline, but here's the google-cache of the article) There are two types of Jihad against the Kuffar 1- Offensive Jihad 2- Defensive Jihad 1- Offensive Jihad is when the Muslims launch an offensive attack. If this attack is on the Kuffar who have previously received the message of Islam, then to call them towards Islam before commencement of the attack is considered preferable. However, if the message of Islam has not reached them, then the Kuffar will be invited towards Islam. If they reject this true faith, then they will have to pay Jizyah (Kufr tax). If they refuse to submit to the payment of Jizyah then the Muslims are to fight against them. With this type of Jihad the Kuffar who plot against the Muslims are repelled and their hearts are filled with fear, so that they do not succeed in their plans. The offensive Jihad is Fardh Kifayah, the purpose of which is to ensure the Kuffar remain terrorised and away from mischief, thereby, allowing the message of Islam to be conveyed without any obstructions. If one group of Muslims fulfil this obligation then it will be sufficient on behalf of all Muslims, but if there are no Muslims fulfilling this obligation then everyone is considered sinful. It is stated in Fatawa Shami: It is required of the Imam (leader) of the Muslims to dispatch the army routinely once or twice a year towards the Kufr countries. It is also the duty of the Muslim public to assist the Imam in this noble cause. If the Imam does not send an army, then he will considered sinful. The majority of Jihad undertaken at the time of our Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) was within the category of offensive Jihad. The Quran has called upon the Muslims to undertake the offensive Jihad and when this obligation is satisfactorily fulfilled there would be no apparent need for the defensive Jihad. When Muslims neglect this important obligation then they are subjected to the defensive Jihad and this has become, with regret, widely common in our time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: www.islam-qa.com http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=5441&dgn=3 Question #5441: Was Islam spread by the sword? Question: Some enemies of the religion claim that Islam was spread by the sword. What is your response to that? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. Islam was spread by proof and evidence, in the case of those who listened to the message and responded to it. And it was spread by strength and the sword in the case of those who stubbornly resisted, until they had no choice and had to submit to the new reality. And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace. Fataawaa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 12/14 (www.islam-qa.com) recent update on the same question: Question #43087: Was Islam spread by the sword? http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=43087&dgn=3 --------------------------------------- From: Jihaad against the kuffar is of two types http://www.islamicawakening.com/Sahar/Jihad%20Against%20the%20Kuffaar%20is%20of%20Two%20Types%20-%20Monday%20January%2031st%202000%20.phtml by Dr. Abdullah Azzaam: Offensive Jihaad (where the enemy is attacked in his own territory). Where the Kuffar are not gathering to fight the Muslims. The fighting becomes Fard Kifaya with the minimum requirement of appointing believers to guard borders, and the sending of an army at least once a year to terrorize the enemies of Allah. It is a duty of upon the Imam to assemble and send out an army unit into the land of war once or twice every year. Moreover, it is the responsibility of the Muslim population to assist him, and if he does not send an army he is in sin. And the Ulama have mentioned that this type of jihaad is for maintaining the payment of Jizya. The scholars of the principles of religion have also said: "Jihaad is Da'wah with a force, and is obligatory to perform with all available capabilities, until there remains only Muslims or people who submit to Islam." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: The book of Miscellany - Chapter 49 http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/hadeeth/riyad/00/chap049.htm Riyad-us-Saliheen Compiled By Al-Imam Abu Zakariya Yahya bin Sharaf An-Nawawi Ad-Dimashqi 390. `Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "I have been commanded (by Allah) to fight people until they testify that there is no true god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform Salat and pay Zakat. If they do so, they will have protection of their blood and property from me except when justified by Islam, and then account is left to Allah". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary: This Hadith brings out the following .... points: 1. The objective of Jihad. This objective warrants that one must struggle against Kufr (disbelief) and Shirk (polytheism) and the worship of falsehood in all its forms. Jihad has to continue until this objective is achieved. This contention is supported by a Hadith, to the effect that Jihad will continue till the Day of Resurrection. In this Hadith the word (An-Nas) translated above as "people" stands for the polytheists and idolaters. The reason being that other Nasus (pl. of Nass, meaning `text') confirm the exemption of Ahl-ul-Kitab (people of the Scriptures) from it subject to the condition that they agree to pay Jizyah (dues imposed by Islam on the people of the Book living under the protection of an Islamic state) and submit to the Muslim rule. The Arab pagans have only the choice to either embrace Islam or face war. In the latter case, it is incumbent on the Muslims to wage Jihad against them to wipe out Kufr and Shirk and raise the banner of Tauhid everywhere. This Hadith strongly refutes the people who distort the Islamic concept of Jihad and hold that Islam preaches defensive war only. It is an apologetic approach because defensive war has to be fought in any case by every nation and country. Thus, it is a compulsion and needs no justification. The real distinction of Islam lies in its enjoining Muslims to wage war for upholding the truth besides fighting for their own defense. The domination of Kufr, Shirk and falsehood is darkness, heresy and tyranny, and the objective of Islam is to purge the world of all these evils. It aims at liberating man from the worship of man, set them on the path of worship of Allah, and to provide a just and equitable society to mankind. Wherever in the world there is tyranny, ignorance and heresy, Muslims are bound to fight such evils and finish them by means of Jihad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://muslim-quotes.netfirms.com/jihad.html
You are generalising a whole religion and its people. In my opinion many Muslims would condem such behaviour and say how wrong it is and it anti-muslim. How about these "free" states that attack countries for natural reserves? Huh... not quite a religion but why is it not considered as similar. There are so many reasons why evil things happen in the world and we cann't put them on a particular race/religion/country/etc. We need to stop stereotyping/generalising groups and people and blaming whole groups for attrocities and instead looking at why these things happen and what we can do to prevent them in the future. What if facts show that blue eyed people commit 70% more crimes then other eye colours? Does that give me the right to attack (in words of course) that particular groups because I am pretty damn sure that if this was the case then there would be some decent good blue eyed people as well who could end up in the crossfire.
