the verse of the sword- do you even know the context

Submitted by SAAD (Canada), Mar 3, 2008 at 03:27

the verse of the sword was employed when the treaties the muslims had established with the non-believers were about to extinguish and because islam as you say had already affirmed itself in these areas...it was seeking for the non-believers to stop practicing wrongful acts under islamic law since during these months...the treaty allowed the non-believers to reform and the islamic message for them to be heard but if they kept on doing these things within the islamic community they were to expelled from this nation....well what would you do with people who bury their daughters alive...if they didn't then because they are a problem that does not allow islam to be fully established those who opposed islam were killed...since they were commiting treason.

islam is not a peaceful religion ..we do not turn the other cheek. when slapped, we slap back.....islam is the truth and a true muslim knows the truth and will spread it....but jihad is through a military force approved by the authority governing the muslims....we are supposed to guard against those who seek to bring the religion of islam down...we are supposed to spread islam by the force of the sword and words...the latter is used more...but if a nation attacks islam or we see that unjustice is being done towards a people where they are not following the word of good then we are supposed to interfere thats how it is...

it does not mean you can be a terrorist and blow yourself up becaue thats unallowed. it's about having enough strength to conquer and then attacking...civillians aren't allowed to be killed by muslim hands and once you establish islamic control in the region you preach for the people to convert and most of the population in the areas conquered did because it saw islam was the righteous religion, and those who didn't were expelled, and those who raised their swords against islam and its principles either by action or words were expelled or killed if needed, as that was treason.. i am glad that islam came into the life of my ancestors the pagan arabs and now i am a muslim and any truthful muslim in the world will say the same thing...

Islam is not the religion that is about lies it is the system through which to govern your state of being and here is the truth for everyone ...jihad is about spreading the word of god but not by attacking civillians but having a real battle but nowadays it seems no country really goes for direct confrontation as they are cowards.

but terrorists are not muslims and they will go to hell on judgement day but once an islamic calipahte is re established, and it will in the next 25 years i ll say it right now, muslims will take up the sword under a united ummah to go against those who oppress and degrade the Allah's earth...that means all you who engage in casual sex too.
