The whole thing with the prohibition against fighting alongside infidels- is this a thing, at all, that gets considered? Is it even on the radar? Is there much of anything that needs to be said about it?
The more you consider someone your enemy, the more it is necessary to keep an eye on him. Therefore, it automatically creates the need to move closer, so that you can better see what exactly your enemy is up to. How are you supposed to do that from a distance? So, given the fact that joining infidel armies will make you privy to juicy information that you would otherwise never have access to, I personally quite endorse the idea of Muslims enlisting in Kafir armies.
One of those things involves fighting alongside infidels, especially if you're fighting with then against Muslims.
If these infidel armies are fighting against Muslims, there is even more of a requirement to closely watch them and know everything that they are up to.
I personally believe that Humayun Khan was a matyr Islamically ... and so he is a true hero ... he's a martyr. Period.
Humayun Khan could certainly have been a martyr. There are certainly Muslims who were martyred while harvesting important information and keeping an eye on everything that the infidel are doing.
Sadly, I live in a state that will almost certainly go to Trump no matter what.
Our beloved Donald Trump has already, and will further enrage, alienate, and infuriate lots of demographics. He will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. He will prevent access to the USA to Muslims. He will duly take China to the cleaners. Our beloved Donald will obviously, and on the fly, add new, unfavoured demographics to his list. The only thing left to do, is to help our beloved Donald Trump to do all of that simultaneously. We must discourage him from taking on his adversaries one by one. Therefore, I consider it in my interest to maximally assist our beloved Donald Trump to rigorously do all of that as soon as possible, and all of it at the same time. Seriously, I personally believe that our beloved Donald Trump is a God-sent. Therefore, I am very much in favour of our beloved Donald Trump winning the American presidential elections.
I don't agree with Muslims joining the US military. I can't see why a Muslim would want to do that... You don't need to strap a rifle around your neck and stand alongside kafirs to fight against other Muslims.
The purpose of joining Kafir armies is to watchfully keep an eye on them. How else are we going to get any useful information, if not from the inside? Therefore, I believe that it is a worthwhile ambition to try to get into the inner sanctum of all the command -and control centers of these military organizations. All you need to do, in order to achieve that, is to tell the kafirs what they want to hear. What would be wrong with that? I do it all the time! ;-)
My dad is in the military, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Exactly. There is obviously nothing wrong with that. What would you prefer? Would you prefer that the kafirs control all the important buttons, or that it is a Muslim nearby who does it?
The khan family's message and appearance was good PR for the Democrats and for American Muslims. Their "sacrifice" however wasn't all that "islamically" worthy. It's not that Muslims are not allowed to fight along side non-Muslims but rather they are not allowed to join the enemies of Islam. America is a clearly an open enemy of Islam.
America is a territorial polygon while Islam is the concrete, real-world instantiation of the abstract concept of a monotheist religion, but still a virtuality. How can a territorial polygon be at war with a virtuality? That is why Obama has never agreed to "go to war with Islam". He obviously knows better. There is such a massive type(-theory) mismatch between the "type of" America and the "type of" Islam.
Still, there is an intersection. The power of national states is based on their secret services. It is therefore based on their capacity to infiltrate. But then again, it should be clear to everyone that a religion's capacity to do exactly that -- to infiltrate -- is much more impressive. Islam is so much more capable of infiltrating any real-world enemy than the other way around. I am such a good example of that principle. As a revert, how could anybody know about my Islamic sympathies, unless I tell them by myself? Nobody can suspect this. Therefore, I am an infiltrated element amongst unsuspecting kafir, just like you have lots of infiltrated kafir elements amongst the Muslims. But then again, Islam is obviously several orders of magnitude superior in that game, while it is this very game that will always end up deciding the outcome of any conflict.
"O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)"
The more you dislike them, the closer you need to keep an eye on them. Isn't that obvious?
I'm also sorry, but I have in the past said I disagree with persons who say that there is a war with Islam.
There is no "war" but an "infiltration rat race" ongoing. Whatever happens next in Syria no longer matters, because it is obviously Islam that has already won the rat race by sending a staggering 2+ million Syrians into Western Europe. How many infiltration battles have the Kafir won in the Syrian civil war? Zero. Zero. And again zero. What we need next, is to encourage additional conflict between Turkey and the European Union. Turkey has "promised" to retain Syrian refugees on its territory and to prevent them from moving up north and west. Erdogan agreed to do that, on the condition that the Turks, who are also Muslims, would obtain visa-free travel into the European Union. In my impression this visa-free travel did not materialize. I have not seen large numbers of Turks actually doing any "travelling" into the European Union. Erdogan's deal was supposed to be a one-way bet in terms of "infiltration". It clearly is not. Therefore, since the deal is obviously not productive, we must encourage Erdogan to obliterate this deal. Seriously, Erdogan must now remove all obstacles that prevent Syrian refugees from going where they want to go, north or west, unless the European Union agrees to accept "traveling" Turks instead. By the way, Erdogan will go this route anyway, because he is sitting on a reservoir of millions of Syrians that he can unleash at will and at his earliest convenience. Therefore, Erdogan is holding the European Union by the balls. The Syrian civil war itself has become utterly irrelevant. The war has achieved its goal already, i.e. to produce millions of deployable Syrians. We also have additional reservoirs running in the millions, in Jordan and Lebanon. I strongly suspect that the invisible hand of our Beloved Master Allah will end up sending all of them into the European Union. For now, it is Erdogan's next move that we should be watching. Erdogan is supposed to quarrel, argue, disagree, revoke, oppose, and become utterly uncooperative with the European Union, concerning the Syrian refugees who should soon be infiltrating the EU again, in large numbers.
