Good Point Mark

hello mark ....yes its true islam is inherently a religion that seeks war as a means of revolution but it is the word of god and because i have submitted to him as the soverign who is the only reference to my life in this temporary world where i must spread the truth...thats called dawaa...which is the first stage...if people remove the curtain of false beliefs then u got no problems...if there is a force preventing them from practicing then u wipe out that force because no one is better than word of god....if you at least believe in god you believe the word of god is greater than he word of men....thats a fundemental pillar of all three great faiths..next jihad is initiated to conquer other lands if dawaa is not being allowed by the ruler or government of that land ....

have you seen the governments of today...islamic or non islamic, most of them are bureaucratic secularists although aethiests isn't going too far...that is why a caliphate is trying to be established where a united muslim ummah can congregate and then seek to drive out evil as a united force..nationalism is haram or forbidden in islam.

yes, muslims haven't been there for others or even other muslims but guess what its not that most muslims don't want to its that there is a lack of unity among muslims due how much suffering is going on in the muslim world from kashmir....thousands of kashmiris dead ....palestine...millions dead...afghanistan...thousands dead....iraq...1,2 million dead .......so are you calling out muslims to do something about the world . but first mark how war torn our lands are,,can you genuinely say that the west where i and you live is not somewhat responsible for bombing iraq,,killing afghans...giving israel the weapons to kill palestine...doing nothing as a people cry out freedom yet die under indian soldiers..

yes the world is screwed up and yes the muslim ummah needs to be united to drive out evils but every revolution is a process do not judge a religion based on how much blood it has spilled because human logic defies the word of god ..to spread his message ...our rationality supports it ...that we do this for a better tommorow...

if you actually study the shariah u will find it is the best system in the world ....do not judge it on how it deals with evil doers...would you say that rapist deserves to live, or a woman who seeks to abandon her children for the sake of her pleasure is not doing a great evil...if you do then shariah punishes that.. shariah is not you steal an apple you get your hand cut off, its you steal without need, you get your hand cut off...it has sound laws and conditions and is more complex than the just system we follow today but with no loop holes for lawyers to wriggle you out of =).

hey i am just trying to bring about a better world through an islamically sound way ....i am all for peace but if there is bloodshed then i cannot let others suffer so that i may uphold pacifism, which is hilarious as if people believed an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind ...then evil people would just do whatever while good men show indifference...is that not a great evil.

all i am saying is that world needs to stop bashing islam and learning about islam ...true islam...what other aspects there are to shariah...hey guess what we ain't got no income taxes in shariah law..yay more money=). how it equates daily life with spiritual life in such a seamless manner and how if u want to really be someone who seeks truth then do not base your judgements on what people have done with islam but what islam..there are those who have distorted it...al qaeda..,misguided souls...most of them are nice people who have been brain washed by people take one verse of the quran as their reference yet do no follow how u actually have to have an islamic caliphate to declare jihad...thats in the shariah too

as a person who has lived in the west i believe most people here are good hearted people yet i cannot deny how much damage the west has done in the east or the south...i am trying my best to show the people here who have been blinded by propoganda that islam is not a religion which seeks to just breed war but a religion that seeks bring about a cultural revolution. the means of a revolution have to be violent if obstacles that do not budge need it .

btw if you are christian......in islam jesus(as) has not died but was saved by god and he will come back in the future when the anti christ is ravaging the earth and slay him with the muslim declaring that muhammad pbuh is the last messenger and that he follows the quran...another thing islam does not believe that jesus is the son of god or the trinitty but believes him to be a mortal prophet who was born through a miracle of god...and not really his son. you said the jesus did not wage war but mohammed did...well guess what within islam he is going to wage war....by the way i would prefer it called jihad though...heh heh.

alright mark, thanks for at least listening and participating in discussion...most people today surprisingly do not even read.

i hope i provided you with some knowledge of islam and cleared at least some misconceptions you may have...

regards

saad

assalamalaikum

peace be upon you =)
