I was just wondering to myself....."self,.... what is Islams veiw of fighting"?
Now i'm not speaking of Holy wars or land battles or even religious battles.
I'm talking about down and dirty fist fights between friends or foes. Let me give an example;
When I was in high school my younger brother was at the same school (2 grades below me). He had a big mouth and always got himself in trouble......Maybe a Napoleon complex...I don't know?(he's short, only 5'6'') ......no offense to the verticaly challenged.
MOst of the time he would just use me, saying, "go ahead hit me i will just get my brother after you" ......uggggimsad
So it was pretty common for me to have a bunch of people , usually around 5-10 greeting me at the exit of the school after school....and no it wasn't to say hello!
Now keep in mind i am a ....large dude. I am 6'2'' 244 pounds...and a very low fat content...if you get my drift. in school i was about that same size. So i told my brother one time "you started this, you get yourself out of this" and walked away.....Then i remembered that i am my brothers keeper, and went back. Well they were pushing him around and so I asked them to stop....nicely...once. They didn't seem to care. So I told him to run, and he did. I told them that it was a little unfair, 8 on 1 or 6 on 1 I can't remember? One of the tried to swing at me..i dodged it and another jumped on my back, 2 more knocked me down and they started to kick me. Now i know as a Christian I am supposed to turn my cheek and give them the other in this situation.......butttttt.....it didn't go down like that...I was able to get one in a choke hold, and kicked another down. After i was able to get up iwas able too ......lets just say .....box with them.:embarrass
End of story is I got the belt...they heard the bells ringing. I am by the way a trained boxer, and the worst part is...I told them that and they still wanted to fight.
I was suspended indefinelty pending an investigation to see if my training negated being labeled "A trained weapon" ......seriously! I was let back to school after 1 month. my suspension was titled "excessive brute force" and they called the police as well to determine wether I needed to transfer to another school.
Their justification was said as this; "your training makes the fight that took place deemed excessice brute force unneeded, the fight was unfair because of your training and deemed not self defense" ....I was like, WHAT? there were 6 of them and one of me? They said i came out with no injuries and 3 of them were hospitalized.....oops:hmm: and that my size was also an unfair advantage:hmm:
Whatever....
It's funny some times. Being the size I am you would think people would run away or just avoid confrontation at all costs? ......Although my wife and Zainab, including her husband say i look intimidating? Her husband said "If I saw you comming towards me i would walk away too, especially if I didn't know you" ....but it's amazing how many wan't to test big dudes....i guess it's the Nepoleon complex thing again??.... You know, little dude, big attitude;D
I am the most peaceful guy you will ever meet, I always avoid confrontation if possible......especialy my wife
hew that little 5'2'' 100 pound Indian woman is the only person that will stand her ground with me;D ......well my mother too.
Do you, or have you found yourself in a predicament that couldn't be avoided? If so what happened, or better yet....how did you get away from it?
sorry so long. God be with you all.......and keep the Nepoleon complex people away from you. Amen
