al-Wala' wa al-Bara' is even worse than Taqiyya

There are huge rewards in Islam for helping others,and in fact, a Muslim is obliged to help another in need, even a non-Muslim. .

Far from the truth and shame on you for uttering this nonsense and it is either you are unaware of what is in your Islamic sources as you shall see below or you were hoping that we kuffar do not read your sources and if your claim is correct then how come millions of your Hindu ancestors were brutalized killed and enslaved by the Muslim invaders of India and how come those invaders allowed this crime to take place if as you claim "a Muslim is obliged to help another in need even a non Muslim"!

For the readers: There is a bizarre and less known doctrine in Islam called al-Wala' wa al-Bara' or الولاء والبراء and here is what it means that Muslims should help and befriend only other Muslims even if evil and to never be friends or help or even associate with non Muslims and this is what this evil doctrine is about

http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1

And the word الولاء or al-Wala' means

ومعنى الولاء: هو حب الله ورسوله والصحابة والمؤمنين الموحدين ونصرتهم.

Or al-Wala' means he who loves Allah and his messenger and his early followers and the believers and those that believe in the unity of Allah and their victory

And here is the meaning of the word al-Bara'

والبراء: هو بغض من خالف الله ورسوله والصحابة والمؤمنين الموحدين، من الكافرين والمشركين والمنافقين والمبتدعين والفساق.

Or al-Bara' are those that do not agree with Allah and his messenger and his early followers and the believers and those that believe in the unity of Allah from the unbelievers and polytheists and hypocrites and those that invent and are perverts

This really means that al-Wala' is the opposite of al-Bara' and al-Wala' by Muslims must only be provided to other Muslims and no help or friendship should be provided to non Muslims even to the likes of Ghandi or Mother Teresa or the Buddha

And here is the reference

http://www.kalemat.org/sections.php?so=va&aid=52

These are your islamic sources and for more information on this evil doctrine see al-Tabari's exegesis of Q5:51

http://www.quran-for-all.com/t-5-3-51.html

This means that Muslims can only befriend and support other Muslims even if that Muslim is evil and Muslims should not befriend or support non Muslims and included here would be Jews and Christians and Hindus and Buddhits and atheists and the reast of humanity even the likes of Ghandi and mother Teresa

So it seems that your claim is false

Now you tell us our dear Riad Zand how come you did not know about al-Wala' wa al-Bara'?
