Allah
says in the Qur'an:
"Let
there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear
from error; whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath
grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks. And
Allah heareth and knoweth all things. [Holy Qur'an
2:256]
"Fight
in the cause of Allah against those who fight you, but do not
transgress limits. Allah does not love transgressors. And slay
them wherever ye catch them and turn them out from where they
have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than
slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque unless they
(first) fight you there; but if they fight you slay them. Such
is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease
Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. And fight them on until
there is no more tumult or oppression and there prevail
justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease let there be no
hostility except to those who practice oppression."
[Holy Qur'an 2:190-193].
The
above passage is illustrated by the events that happened at Hudaibiya
in the sixth year of the Hijra. When oppression became too much
for the Muslims in Makkah, Allah commanded the Holy Prophet and
the believers to fight back. Allah also says:
"If
they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in Allah for
He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things."
[Holy Qur'an 8:61]
War,
therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous
conditions laid down by the sacred law. The term jihad literally
means 'struggle', and Muslims believe that there are two
kinds of jihad. The GREATER jihad is
the inner struggle which everyone wages against egotistic
desires, for the sake of attaining inner peace.
"The
lies which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man
(Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only"
[Heroes
and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History, Thomas Carlyle, p.
57]
"The
use of false evidence to attack Islam was all but
universal..."
[Islam
and the West, Norman Daniel, p. 267]
"I
have read in Moslem [sic.] writings such deep and tender
expressions of respect and reverence for Jesus that for the
time I almost forgot, I was not reading the words of a
Christian writer. How different, it is sad to say, has been
the way in which Christians have spoken and written of
Muhammad Let us put it down to its true cause, ignorance"
[Reverend
R. Maxwell King]
If
they wont listen, and they surely won't, then "you
go your way and I go my way":
"Say:
O disbelievers! I worship not that which ye worship; Nor will
ye worship that which I worship. And I shall not worship that
which ye worship. Nor will ye worship that which I worship. To
you be your Way and to me mine." [Holy Qur'an
sura109].
Commentary
by Yusuf Ali on surah 109:
'I, having
been given the Truth, cannot come to your false ways: you,
having your vested interests, will not give them up. For your
ways the responsibility is yours: I have shown you the Truth.
For my ways the responsibility is mine: you have no right to
ask me to abandon the Truth. Your persecutions will be vain:
the Truth must prevail in the end'.
The
Christian is quick in saying to the Muslim that your religion
teaches war (Jihad) and terrorism, yet they do not consider what
their own Bible says on this subject.
God
MURDERS 50, 070 for looking into a box (?)
"And
he smote the men of Bethshemesh,
because they had looked into the ark of the LORD,
even he smote of the people fifty thousand and
threescore and ten men: and the people lamented,
because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great
slaughter" [1 Samuel 6:19]
A
Merciful Lord (?)
"Now
go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have,
and spare them not; but slay
both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel
and ass." [1
Samuel 15:3]. (Not even donkeys were
spared!)
MASSACRE:
At the hands of the Jews -
"Now
therefore KILL
every male among the little ones, and KILL
every woman (female) that hath known man by lying (having sex)
with him. But keep ALIVE for yourselves all
the GIRLS and all women who are VIRGINS."
[Numbers 31:17-18]. (And the Jews
salvaged for themselves 32, 000 virgins, verse 35; see also
verse 40)
"But
of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth
give thee for an inheritance, thou (O Jews) shalt save alive NOTHING
that BREATHETH."
[Deuteronomy 20:16]
"And
they (the
Jews) UTTERLY DESTROYED all
that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox
and sheep, and ASS, with the edge of the SWORD."
[Joshua 6:21]. (Even donkeys were not spared!)
"He
(Joshua)
let NONE remain alive." [Joshua
10:28]
Joshua
(meaning Jehova - Saviour; a
type of Christ, says C.I. Scofield, D.D. in his Bible commentary)
utterly destroyed all that was in Jericho with the edge of a SWORD.
JESUS
CHRIST (PBUH)
A
racist God?
"And,
behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and
cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of
David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he
answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought
him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he
answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of
the house of Israel (the
Jews). Then came she and
worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and
said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it
to DOGS (the
non-Jews)." [Matthew
15:22-26].
When the Christians
read this passage from the Bible, they say "Ah, but you
see, Jesus healed the daughter of the woman". So what if he
did? That does not mean that he did not call the non-Jews
"dogs" (according to the Bible, that is.)
"Give
not that which is holy unto the DOGS
(non-Jews),
neither cast ye your pearls before SWINE (the
non-Jew)..."
[Matthew 7:6]
The
Prince of Peace?
"But
those mine enemies, which would not that I should REIGN
over them, bring hither, and SLAY them before
me." [Luke 19:27]
"Think
NOT
that I am come to send PEACE on earth: I came
NOT to send PEACE, but a SWORD."
[Matthew 10:34]
"I
am come to send FIRE
on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Suppose ye that I am come to give PEACE on
earth? I tell you, NAY; but rather DIVISION:
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided,
three against two, and two against three. The father shall be
divided against the son, and the son against the father; the
mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the
mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law." [Luke
12:49,51-53]
Hate
as foundation of his faith (?)
"If
any man come to me, and HATE
not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and
brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot
be my disciple." [Luke 14:26]
