1. WHAT THE QUR’AN SAYS. The familiar term jihad, often translated holy war, literally means struggle. Many Muslims emphasize that jihad is about struggling against evil desires and, if necessary, defending one’s homeland and religious heritage. "Fight for the sake of God those that fight against you, but do not attack them first. God does not love the aggressors. Slay them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you. Idolatry is more grievous than bloodshed.... Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God’s religion reigns supreme." (Qur’an 2:190-192) [Note: Qur’anic quotes from N.J.Dawood’s English translation (The Koran, Penguin Books, UK, 1993)]. A favorite verse of moderate Muslims is 2:256 which says: "Let there be no compulsion in religion. True guidance is now distinct from error." Militant Muslims, however, will point you to numerous Qur’anic texts where Muhammad (as Allah’s spokesman) commands his followers to fight and subdue all who resist Islam. What leads young men to volunteer to die for the privilege of killing others "for the cause of Allah"? Could it have something to do with the fact that Islam offers no certain hope of heaven to any of its adherents, with one exception? Consider these few Qur’anic verses...

"As for those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not allow their works to perish. ... He will admit them to the Paradise He has made known to them." (47:4-6)

"Let those who would exchange the life of this world for the hereafter, fight for the cause of God; whether he dies or triumphs, We shall richly reward him. ... The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. Fight then against the friends of Satan ..." (4:74,76)

"The believers who stay at home––apart from those that suffer a grave impediment––are not the equals of those who fight for the cause of God with their goods and their persons. God has given those that fight with their goods and their persons a higher rank than those who stay at home ..." (4:95,96)

"Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. ... lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way ..." (9:5)

"Those that make war against God and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter: except those that repent before you reduce them ..." (5:34,35)

"Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme" (8:39)

"Prophet, rouse the faithful to arms. If there are twenty steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish two hundred; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding." (8:65)

"Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given ... and do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued." (9:29)

Mooko, for some reason your posts do not bother me at all, of course I seldom read them but that's because they're tooooo long...I only read the short ones.

I never get the point though!If you're interested in a discussion I would be glad to engage you in one, but I have very little time so here are my rules:

1-Divide your argument into 3 sections:
a)Objective: what you intend to demonstrate.
b)Argument: Your argument supported by quotes or anything else you wish.
c)Conclusion: What you belive your arguments prove and why it is important for us to be aware of those issues you believe to be facts.

2)Point form: all three sections should be in point form, clear and concise.

3)Any quotes and/or articles should include the Web Link they're taken from if one exisit.

4)One subject at a time: don't jump from on issue to another , stick to one idea and explore it to it's end.

Magnoon I thought it would be self explainatory to post a question and an answer within a context. I have to admit on this post I was a little tired to elaborate. But again, my argument here is how Islam promote peace with all the "slautering" verses.
I would like on this one to have a constructive argument in order for me to understand. I don't tend in anyway to disrespect Islam or Muslims. I just have unanswered questions.

My topics are being erased and they carry no disrespect to anyone. It carries clean arguments to reach a ground of understanding.

On this fourm we are dealing with the "word", in every way. What we write is what we are. No images and no fake compliments, and we should use that to our advantage to reach a solid claim to our existence, history and beliefs.

I expect all the attacks because this is sensetive to one's belief nevertheless that is not an excuse to ignor questioning everything around us and share it together.

Therefore, I ask after researching...why Muslims often find Islam peaceful while an ordinary guy like me can prove a 180 degrees the contrary?

Moko

You are still a wanker.. even though you are trying to come across as clever and sensible now.

You are insulting and you are offensive !!


So don't pretend otherwise ashole !!!

Most important is that you are boring (.)

You are not interested in discussion... you just want to paste your crap here... and who cares what you think of Islam anyways.

What can I say...

They are so worried about the copy and paste yet they are not bothered to get their hard copy of Quraan and give it only 5 MINUTES of their time to see if I'm crapping or not!

I challenge anyone who prove me wrong.

P.S If the verses I'm pointing at were one or 2 I may be could have simply typed them. But the verses that I want to address are "THOUSANDS", I'm sorry I'm failing every one I can't type all of them.

You see... the problem with you is you think you can just redicule anybody and any religion and get away with it and the truth is, you have no opinion of your own. You are justso full of hate and you are spreading it to the likes of you anyway.

Nobody is worried here ashole.

You don't even know what religion I am as I didn't say. Dare to write anything as stupid as you are writing about Islam and see what you'll get.

People are just pissed off with your wanky style.

Stop questioning. Try masturbation, that should fill up the time void, also you'd be exercising the rest of your fingers not only the 2 used in c&p
