Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)"
-(Translation is from the Noble Quran) The verse prior to this (190) refers to "fighting for the cause of Allah those who fight you" leading some to believe that the entire passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims are defending their homes and families. The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, however, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. This is certainly what is meant in this context since the violence is explicitly commissioned "until religion is for Allah" - ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief.
~Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."
~Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."
-Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot.
~Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
~Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".
-This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').
~Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."
-The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah. This is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.
~Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"
~Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."
~Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward "
~This passage criticizes "peaceful" Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allah's eyes. It also demolishes the modern myth that "Jihad" doesn't mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is this Arabic word (mujahiduna) used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man's protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad, which would not make sense if it meant an internal struggle). According to the verse, Allah will allow the disabled into Paradise, but will provide a larger reward to those who are able to kill others in his cause.
~Quran (4:104) - "And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain..."
-Is pursuing an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense?
~Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
~Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
-No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.
~Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."
~Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah" Some translations interpret "fitna" as "persecution", but the traditional understanding of this word is not supported by the historical context (See notes for 2:193). The Meccans were simply refusing Muhammad access to their city during Haj. Other Muslims were allowed to travel there - just not as an armed group, since Muhammad had declared war on Mecca prior to his eviction. The Meccans were also acting in defense of their religion, since it was Muhammad's intention to destroy their idols and establish Islam by force (which he later did). Hence the critical part of this verse is to fight until "religion is only for Allah", meaning that the true justification of violence was the unbelief of the opposition. According to the Sira (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 324) Muhammad further explains that "Allah must have no rivals."
~Quran (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers."
-The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means 'deceit'. If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21) Islam claims that Allah is the "best of deceivers" and so followers of Islam are serving and worshipping "the best of deceivers". While followers of Christ Jesus would argue that Satan the devil (Lucifer) is the greatest of deceivers and father of all lies.
~Quran (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway.
~Quran (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves" against danger, meaning that there are times when a Muslim should appear friendly to non-Muslims, even though they should not feel that way..
~Quran (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.
*Hadith and Sira*
~Bukhari (52:269) - "The Prophet said, 'War is deceit.'"
-The context of this is thought to be the murder of Usayr ibn Zarim and his thirty unarmed men by Muhammad's men after he "guaranteed" them safe passage.
~Bukhari (49:857) - "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar."
- Lying is permitted when the end justifies the means.
~Bukhari (84:64-65) - Speaking from a position of power at the time, Ali confirms that lying is permitted in order to deceive an "enemy." We see this in the way that Muslims claim Islam to be a religion based upon peace and tolerance of non-Muslims and one that does not 'condone' slavery, pedophilia, terrorism, beheading of Christians and Jews, extortion taxation of unbelievers, and murdering unbelievers whom refuse to convert, refuse to pay extortion tax, and refuse to enter into slavery in order to deceive unbelievers until the Muslim population grows within a society and they are in a political position of power (thus gaining 'the upper hand'.)
~Sahih Muslim (32:6303) - "...he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything what the people speak as lie but in three cases: in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and the narration of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them)."
~Bukhari (50:369) - Recounts the murder of a poet, Ka'b bin al-Ashraf, at Muhammad's insistence. The men who volunteered for the assassination used dishonesty to gain Ka'b's trust, pretending that they had turned against Muhammad. This drew the victim out of his fortress, whereupon he was brutally slaughtered.
NOTES
Muslims are allowed to lie to unbelievers in order to defeat them.
-There are four forms:
Taqiyya - Saying something that isn't true as it relates to the Muslim identity.
Kitman - Lying by omission. An example would be when Muslim apologists quote only a fragment of verse 5:32 (that if anyone kills "it shall be as if he had killed all mankind") while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse (and the next) mandate murder in undefined cases of "corruption" and "mischief."
Tawriya - Intentionally creating a false impression.
Muruna - 'Blending in' by setting aside some practices of Islam or Sharia in order to advance others and hide one's intentions. Such as the hijackers on September 11th whom visited strip clubs, drank alcohol, shaved off their beards, and engaged in various forms of Haram (forbidden) activities in order to 'blend in' among infidels while planning and carrying out their Jihad mission for Allah ("the best of deceivers" Quran 3:54)
-While many Muslims tell 'infidels' that they do not condone Jihadi terrorism and Jihadi suicide bombers, the famous Arab television network Al-Jazeera calls every Arab suicide bomber a shaheed (martyr)...Now please take a moment to digest that fact.
Quran Surah that dictate beheading and killing Kaffirs:
~Quran 5:33-“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution (Islamic law dictates this as beheading), or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;”
~Quran 8:12- “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.”
~Quran 47:4- “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives”: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.”
~Quran 9:29 - Fight those that do not believe in Allah nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People Of The Book (Christians and Jews), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. Quran 9:30 - The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the Son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
~Quran 9:123 - O you 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.
-'who gird you about' is often used to condone Muslims to attack their Unbelieving neighbors and neighbors whom refuse to convert to Islam, such as The People of the Book (Christians and Jews).
~DOES ISLAM CONDONE PEDOPHILIA/CHILD RAPE~
~Many adult and child victims of ISIL, as well as other Jihadi groups abroad, have suffered the universal crime of rape at the hands of Jihadi claiming to be Muslims justified in Islam. Can we find a single place in Islam that condones intercourse with children? If not, then these men are not Muslim men following the teachings of Islam at all. If so, then these men are indeed Muslims following Islam.
~واللائي يئسن من المحيض من نسائكم ان ارتبتم فعدتهن ثلاثة اشهر واللائي لم يحضن واولات الاحمال اجلهن ان يضعن حملهن ومن يتق الله يجعل له من امره يسرا
Transliteration: Waalla-ee ya-isna mina almaheedi min nisa-ikum ini irtabtum faAAiddatuhunna thalathatu ashhurin waalla-ee lam yahidna waolatu al-ahmali ajaluhunna an yadaAAna hamlahunna waman yattaqi Allaha yajAAal lahu min amrihi yusran
Quran 65:4 Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.
-
Here the 'Iddah is prescribed to three categories of women:
- First the phrase: “Yaisna min al-maheedhi” which means “those women who are desperate of menses” is an indication to women who reached the stage of menstruation but do not menstruate and of those who reached menopause. Desperate of menses underlines that it concerns women who though reached the age, fail to menstruate too. Their 'Iddah period is three months.
- Next comes, “Wallaee Lam yahidhna” which means “those who have not menstruated yet” This group of females are pre-pubescent girls who have not yet menstruated. Here the 'Iddah prescribed for them is equal to the previous group of women (ie. three months).
- Lastly, the women who are pregnant - their prescribed 'iddah is until they have given birth.
~Al-Bukhari (au.), Muhammad M. Khan (tr.), Dar-us-Salam Publications, vol. 7, book 67, ch. 39, p. 57:
(39) CHAPTER. Giving one's young children in marriage (is permissible).
By virtue of the Statement of Allah : "...and for those who have no (monthly) courses (i.e. they are still immature).. (V.65:4) And the 'Idda for the girl before puberty is three months (in the above Verse).
5133. Narrated 'Aishah; that the Prophet wrote the marriage contract with her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).
QUESTION
~Taking into consideration this very brief look into Islam, let us ask the following question, intellectually, devoid of emotion:
~ Are the Islamic Jihadi (like the Taliban, Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, Al Qaeda, Abu Sayyaf, and others) of today actually following the commands of Allah and their prophet Mohammed, according to Islam? Are their actions condoned by their prophet Mohammed and by Islam?
~NOW LET US EXAMINE THE COMMANDS OF CHRIST JESUS~
Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Luke 6:31
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Mark 12
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
~Now these are just a few of the most important commands which Christ Jesus (Y'e'shua) gave to HIS followers and all mankind. In fact, in Mark 12 verse 31 it is recorded that HE says there is no commandment greater than these (referring to verses 29-31) so we need not really look any further for a concise, brief, examination of the commandments of Christ Jesus.
~Now, let us ask the following intellectual questions, void of emotion. In light of these commandments of Christ Jesus, highlighted in red, in comparison to the actions, behavior, and terrorism committed by the Ku Klux Klan in the southern states of north America during the height of their power and political influence, can we accurately say that the Ku Klux Klan terrorist organization were following and practicing the commandments of Christ Jesus (Y'e'shua)?
~Did the Ku Klux Klan love their neighbors as themselves? Did the Ku Klux Klan do unto others as they would want others to do unto them? Did the Ku Klux Klan act as peace makers or did they act as terrorists whom frightened, intimidated, attacked, tortured, mutilated, and murdered their neighbors? John 8:44, the Lord Christ Jesus says:
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
~Here we see that Christ Jesus accuses Satan (the adversary), the devil, of being a murderer from the beginning and condemns them that do the lusts of the devil as being the children of the devil. History has accurately recorded the Ku Klux Klan as having been murderers of innocent men, women, and children. Christ Jesus condemns the devil of being a murderer from the beginning. So who is the father of the Ku Klux Klan terrorists?
~Had the Ku Klux Klan practiced charity, love for 'all' of their neighbors, treated 'all' of their neighbors as they wished to be treated, and did to them as they would want done unto themselves then we could accurately say that they were followers of 'Christ' Jesus and therefore accurately labeled as 'Christians' (meaning literally, 'little anointed ones' or translated as followers of the anointed one).
~Today in modern English the label Christian is meant to mean 'a follower of Christ (the anointed one) Jesus and HIS commands'. Despite modern anti-Christ propaganda claiming that the KKK, Adolph Hitler, P.O.T.U.S. Andrew Jackson, and other terrorists were Christians an intellectual person of reason can quite easily examine the commands of Christ Jesus and compare them to the preaching, actions, crimes against humanity, and other wicked works committed by such people. If their fruits, their actions, do not follow the commands of Christ Jesus, but rather go against 'everything' that Christ Jesus commanded HIS followers to do, than it is only logical that they never were 'followers of Christ Jesus' or 'Christians'.
~The same logic can be applied to others today whom practice terror, crimes against humanity, machinations, and perversion while falsely flying under the banner of 'Christ'. In the military there is a term for when one commits such wickedness under the banner of their enemy in order to lay the blame at the feet of one's enemy and turn the winds of politics against them. It is called a 'false flag operation' and that is exactly what the devil and his children have always done and continue to do, even until the present.
QUESTION
~Taking into consideration this very brief look into the GOSPEL OF CHRIST JESUS, let us ask the following question, intellectually, devoid of emotion:
~Are terrorists like Adolph Hitler, the Ku Klux Klan, and others whom have committed atrocities, genocide, slavery, and other human rights violations (some while flying under a false flag and claiming to be followers of Christ Jesus/Christians) actually following the commands of Christ Jesus according to the Gospel?
CONCLUSION
~If you come to a conclusion that none of these terrorists, or others like them throughout history, were emulating Christ Jesus nor following the commandments of Christ Jesus, according to the Gospel, then we must admit that none of them can be labeled as 'Christians' or 'Followers of Christ Jesus'. Rather they should be more appropriately labeled as followers of the satanic devil, Lucifer, operating under a false-flag in an attempt to discredit and slander Christ Jesus throughout the world.
~So whenever we see provocateurs and anti-Christ agents flooding the media and the internet with accusations that 'Christians' have committed atrocities, genocides, and terrorism throughout history to justify the current actions of Islamic Jihadi while attempting to shame Christians into remaining silent in condemnation against the atrocities and terrorism being committed by self-professing Islamic Jihadi across the globe one must consider the brief intellectual, non-emotional, investigation presented here in this blog.
~Peace be with you~
