I read the Qur'am in two dif...Dear Anonymous: <br /><br />I read the Qur'am in two different English translations, extensively searched a third and several tafsirs. I also read Sahih Bukhari and the Islamic law relevant to Jihad. <br /><br />Anything good in Islam can be found in Judaism & Christianity, everything bad in them could have been corrected by Moe; instead he doubled down on them. <br /><br />In the years since 623, when Moe attempted his first caravan raids, Islam has murdered an estimated 270 million people. <br /><br />If Muslims just raised arse to Allah and left us in peace there'd be no problem. But Islam is permanent war; a very significant problem. We can not tolerate it. <br /><br />Every 'passive Muslim' who hates war & terrorism owes it to himself and the whole human race to learn the truth. Read these books with your Qur'an and Bukhari open; follow up the numerous citations. <br /><br />http://wolfpangloss.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/malik-quranic-concept-of-war.pdf#page=50 Pages 58...60 are the most important. This is a WakiPaki strategy manual from the Al-Haq regime. <br /><br />https://archive.org/download/TheBookOfJihad/Mashari.pdf#page=18<br />This is a Mujahideen recruitment tool. It emphasizes the benefits of Jihad and the costs of shirking it. The link opens to a page detailing the fard of offensive Jihad. Be sure to read the entire table of contents. <br /><br />Hedaya is the fiqh of the Hanafi madhab. Its in two volumes, the hot stuff is in volume 2, Book 9: The Institutes. Begin reading on page 140, keep reading through page 220.<br /><br />http://www.archive.org/stream/hedaysorguide00hamigoog#page/n154/mode/1up <br /><br />If you want to plumb the depths of Islamic evil, get volume 1 from archive.org and read the sections on marriage and divorce. Discover which slaves a Muslim is permitted to sexually exploit. <br /><br />If you really believe that Islam is the "religion of peace", then, after reading Hedaya 2.145, turn to Ibn Sa'd to read Moe's numerous extortion letters, of which this is the most explicit, leaving nothing to the imagination. <br /><br />http://www.soebratie.nl/religie/hadith/IbnSad.html#01.2.73.3<br /><br /><br /> Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975775791961343435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-51123794215259522722015-07-07T13:24:01.200-07:002015-07-07T13:24:01.200-07:00Thank you for being a non-violent Muslim.

I have a message to peaceful Muslims here:<br /><br />http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2007/10/message-to-peaceful-muslims.html<br /><br />And for the non-Muslims reading this, here is the reason why the peaceful majority is irrelevant:<br /><br />http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2010/10/why-peaceful-majority-is-irrelevant.html<br /><br />The main point is that all the things that you, Anonymous, emphasize in your religion don't matter to non-Muslims. Why should they? If you want to pray, go ahead. The only parts non-Muslims really care about are the parts that have an impact on non-Muslims. In other words, the political parts. The parts that you, thankfully, ignore. So we are in agreement, apparently: You don't care for the political aspects of Islam, and neither do I.Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099995788131177949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-39793621621969178972015-07-07T01:12:37.115-07:002015-07-07T01:12:37.115-07:00Your thinking is very simplistic. I know, you'...Your thinking is very simplistic. I know, you're so knowledgeable. You read the Quran in English and you learned from other right wing nuts about Islam, so you really get it. You're the educated jerk. I get it. So SMRT. People don't really need to know some of the parts of Islam to which you refer. We get so much meaning and so much that is relevant to our spiritual lives from the parts you don't care about. You dismiss those parts because they don't fit your narrative. People who are Christian can be good or bad depending on which parts of the Bible they emphasize. You cannot say they're not REAL Christians if they choose to overlook things that trouble them or that they don't understand. Why can't you guys get that? We're happy. We pray. We fast. We try to be better. That's none of your business, and obviously you agree because you couldn't care less about that part of it. Which is the main part of our faith. It means nothing to you.

So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome.

For him in the world is disgrace, and We will make him taste on the Day of Resurrection the punishment of the Burning Fire [while it is said],<br /><br />"That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allah is not ever unjust to [His] servants."<br />(Quran.(22:8-10)<br />-----<br />i hope you see the truth some day before it's too late...<br /><br />Allah says :<br /><br />Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah ."

Nothing in the history of Judaism or Christianity matches the barbaric savagery of Islam which has been continuous since 623. <br /><br />Muslims engaged in genocidal conquest through terrorism do so in obedience to Allah; emulating Moe. Christians thus engaged did so in contravention of the teaching & example of Jesus Christ. <br /><br />Open the "Noble Qur'an" to <br />Surah At-Taubah Ayat 111 & 120, which define believers and tells how they earn extra chits for Allah's Celestial Bordello. <br /><br />Any intelligent & moral person who comprehends those two verses will curse and condemn Islam.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975775791961343435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-22695397786151461642012-01-16T16:27:21.029-08:002012-01-16T16:27:21.029-08:00Anonymous: Please read Why I Am Worried About Isla...Anonymous: Please read <a href="http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2008/10/why-im-worried-about-islam-but-not.html" rel="nofollow">Why I Am Worried About Islam But Not Christianity</a>.Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-51131821706390662432012-01-14T12:22:20.071-08:002012-01-14T12:22:20.071-08:00However, in the cities

The...<i>And Islam has a only a few central holy books. The most central is the Qur'an.</i><br /><br />I, ehm, disagree...<br /><br />I think the most important books are the hadith. Because it explains the '5 pillars' (the Quran doesn't), because it lays out the example that Muslims are supposed to follow (Muhammad), and because it relates what Muhammad actually did in his life, providing indispensable context for the Quran. Which to a great extent is just a collections of demands on the Muslims (like "Fear, pray, pay & fight").<br /><br />Of the Hadith collections, the most important to understand the life of Muhammad are Ibn Ishaq and Al-Tabari (volumes 6 through 9), because they relate the life story of Muhammad without many dubious hagiographic add-ons. Uncut - not least the Tabari version. <br /><br />Understanding these leads to understanding of many things, like why Yasser Arafat used the example of Muhammad to justify not keeping his parts of the Oslo Accords.Henrik R Clausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980200693097558287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-47747075283697637522009-05-08T06:21:00.000-07:002009-05-08T06:21:00.000-07:00Hi all

I have a copy of the Qur'an and am going to follow your advice.<br /><br />Thanks also to those who have pointed out that the later verses cancel out the earlier ones; in other words, the violent material is taken seriously by Muslims while the few 'peaceful' parts are invalid.<br /><br />charlestonact: the 'Qur'an Project' sounds great, thanks for that tip :)British Babehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099551888963175899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-31618569527840840502009-05-03T09:07:00.000-07:002009-05-03T09:07:00.000-07:00I would couple this with suggesting some of the av...I would couple this with suggesting some of the available on-line video demonstrating these verses and how for many Muslims the message of the quran is as alive and valid it was 1,000 years ago and is used to justify the culture, objectives and aggression seen today.Civilus Defendushttp://civilusdefendus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-49584477781931555042009-05-03T08:49:00.000-07:002009-05-03T08:49:00.000-07:00If they read the Qur'an, you need no longer tell t...<I>If they read the Qur'an, you need no longer tell them anything else about Islam.</I>Absolutely!<br /><br />Just these past few weeks, I had a student (private, post-grad) working on her choice of a research topic. She chose "Is Islam Inheretnly Violent?" Of the type who researches original sources, she waded through the Koran when she first began researching. <br /><br />I didn't have to explain my own position on Islam! She understood the reality of the threat of Islam just by reading the Koran!Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-36968652250426490952009-05-03T05:55:00.000-07:002009-05-03T05:55:00.000-07:00An excellent point.

One of the most persistent memes obstructing a real understanding of the problem is the belief that violent and aggressive Islam is just a small-scale aberration, while "mainstream" Islam is a "religion of peace". Reading the Qur'ân leaves little scope for sustaining this delusion.<br /><br />There are a couple of points I would add when making this suggestion to someone:<br /><br />First, be sure they understand the concept of "abrogation" of earlier verses by later ones, which is how Islam deals with the problem of contradictions in the text. The Qur'ân does contain some humane passages, but they are mostly in earlier verses and are superseded by the later material calling for war against unbelievers. Also, the chapters in the official text of the Qur'ân are ordered mostly by length (longest first), not by when they were "revealed", so one can't tell which verses are earlier vs. later just by looking at the order they appear in in the text. The later (more authoritative) and more violent verses often come before the earlier and less authoritative ones, just because they're longer.<br /><br />One also need to be sure the person gets an <I>accurate</I> translation. Some English versions are a bit sanitized to make the pronouncements less shocking to Western sensibilities. I have a version with the Arabic and English text side by side (I can read Arabic, though very laboriously), and it is interesting to see the subtle shading of the translation here and there.Infidel753http://infidel753.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
