out of curiosity, is there anything in there about respect for the laws of the community you live in, if it is not an islamic community?
(I ask this in ignorance of your scripture, but in mine such things are clearly stated)
Hi there fluff,
I am not saying the books of Islam are devoid of good qualities.
heres one from the Quran about respect for the society you live in:
25:52, So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.
do i need to quote the lines, (of which there are quite a few) that call for violent action against the non believer?
47:4, Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers, smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.
9:73, O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed.
9:123, O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
8:65, O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers.
9:14, Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers.
Pay particular attention to the number of this surrah:
9:111, Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an.
How is a non muslim to feel when he took an interest in Islam, and found so much hatred? Thanking you for this discussion,
Respectfully,
PAPA LAZAROU.
