Hello everyone, i must have seen about 15 threads regarding whats going on in Gaza right now, i understand the fact that we we`re all very emotional about it, and we all want to have our say which has on most of the occasions turned into a war of words with abuses rather then meaningful debates. So i thought i would make a thread where only people who want to add something useful and who are up for a mature, meaningful and patient debate will post. I think this will be better then making life hard for people and making about 15 threads. First of all make sure you dont personally attack anyone as different have been having a hard time talking to each other without getting attacked. First of all, I`m a muslim, so i thought i would get my points across, and clear a few misunderstandings, if you have any trouble with it, ask, i`ll be glad to clear it all up. First of all, the fact that it has been said on many occasions that "muslims allow terrorism and support it". These words couldn`t have been wrongly put, I`m from Pakistan, the most sensitive part in this war on terrorism, and our country, although with a weak leadership right now has been wholeheartedly fighting against terrorism. Second, The fact that people say "Islam promotes jihad". Yes, its true, but Jihad is not whats going on right now, that is now Jihad. The history behind this goes back to when Muslims were facing opression from people of other religions, and thus we were given permission to reply to any damage done to us. Though, not by violence, First comes Verbal Jihad, Telling someone by word. Written Jihad, if you are too weak to face the person, write to him. And in the most serious case this was allowed, though the terrorists (which are NOT muslims and only pretend to be) are doing this all for nothing.
How come in islam, you guys have so many "non muslims who are pretending to be muslims" ? What is the root of this ? the cause of this ?
Not exactly, they themselves believe they are muslims, when there actions are exactly the opposite of Islam, basicly they`re doing what they want to, and just hiding behind the honorable name of Islam. BTW, I found a video i would like to share, not blaming or anything, but just a little curious : CNN PROOVES ISRAEL BROKE CEASEFIRE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDBi...cnn-blames-israel-for-breaking-the-ceasefire/
Why do they believe they are muslims ? What reasons do they have to believe such a thing ? They give examples from the quran to justify their actions, how so ? Does the quran promote terrorism ?
a ) They are basicly brainwashed and the Taliban were set up to fight against Russia back in the day when they were opposing Afghanistan, they were wrongly brain washed to believe they were on a mission of God, but now they continue with that in there mind but they are very much mistaken. The Quran COMPLETELY CONDEMNS TERRORISM, islam means "peace". They can not give any reliable source of Quran saying to kill Non Muslim if they have not done anything to hurt you or killed you. Whats happening in Gaza i believe the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves (just my opinion).
