Allah discouraged Muslims from passive expressions of faith. To prove one's faith, Allah demands action. Specifically and most importantly, jihad — fighting in the way of Allah. Fighting to establish the legal domination of Islam. It is Islam's prime directive.
You and I may think it is wrong, but to a Muslim, it is right. It is commanded by Allah. What could be more right than that to someone who believes it?
The world must awaken to the existence of such a creed and stop blinding itself with wishful thinking. This is not going to go away.

I think many people believe Islam is peaceful, because most people in the course of daily life behave peacefully. Of course in day-to-day life, most people work, raise children, keep up house payment etc.
ReplyDeleteIn a modern western society there isn't an oppertunity or need to do anything violent. But allowing believers in any authoritarian system to live in a democratic society, will mean the gradual withering away of the liberal democratic forms of governance.
That's what worries me most! The gradual acceptance of Shari'a laws, not individual acts of aggression.
Islam is very much a religion that inspires many of its followers to action
ReplyDeleteGiving just one case example of is malicious murderous and maiming Boston street jihad bombing marathon on April 15, 2013 .Those two bombs had been planted those two jihad-minded Muslims who were also brothers . They weren’t inspired in that horrendous action not terrorism by Buddhism but ,of course, Islam.
As the Qu ran instructs Surah 47:4 “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike of their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Bombs are, indeed much more effective for making a greater “slaughter among them “ than a sword can.
Another example of this are those vicious and murderous jihadists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice, with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Qu ran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Qu ran , for example, 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123.
There are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “
The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.]
