So is this how the terrorists justify murdering otherwise innocent people with suicide bombings and stuff?
First of all dude, I wasn't saying that justified terrorism in any way... What I meant was that because Muslims fail to follow the law of Allah, much chaos is present in their countries... This hadith along with present-day circumstances proves that without Allah, we are blind and are headed nowhere. Suicide bombings in my opinion have never and will never bring about any change or improvement.. Just more strife amongst people... And that includes the U.S.-led invasion into Iraq... I mean come on... We barely pray, and if we do, we rush through our prayers... When we fast, we complain throughout the entire day, when the companions of the prophet (SAW) used to fight in wars while fasting... I am assuming you are aware that the companions of the prophet (SAW) went through much difficulty and were almost always being persecuted for their belief in Allah... They complained about this to the prphet Muhammad (SAW) who shook his head and told them of how the people of the scriptures used to be tortured... He told them that what they went through (i.e. Khubab bin Al-Arat, who was stripped and forced to wear a suit of armor in the middle of the desert until he nearly died of dehydration, and when they put molten iron on his back which made his skin melt) was absolutely nothing compared to what the people of the scriptures went through... They'd be burned alive, but not without first having to see their kids being thrown into pits fo fire first... And look at us brother... We have EVERYTHING.... We have Allah, we have the Prophet (SAW) we have Al-Qur'an, yet we still complain about our state! We barely stay up at night praying to Allah, for the sake of Allah... We sit around, and I most definitely include myself in this, chatting, watching t.v., when none of this will benefit us in the hereafter... We neglect our prayers, and then we have the nerve to go begging Allah to save us from fitnah... when the root cause of this tribulation IS FROM US.... How pathetic can we get?!
You see Africa? You know what caused their downfall? The europeans came to Africa and traded wine for slaves... Yeah, its true... If it weren't for the European invasion of Africa, the african-american race would be the most powerful race in history...
Who do we have to blame but ourselves? Surely not Allah, because he warned us... Surely not George Bush or Tony Blair, because we are a strong nation, and if we would just stop and use our fat heads for some good use, we would be amongst the most powerful nations in history... We wouldn't have suicide bombers or invasions into our countries... The whole world would eb at peace, because that is what Islam is...
*GENERAL NOTE: If what I said is against the views of Islam, please by all means correct me, but if you just don't like what I have to say, deal with it and keep the comments to yourself...
