RoPers clarifying the true meaning and obligation of

Jihad:

...the importance, reward and requirement for the Muslims to perform Jihaad Fi Sabeel Lillah i.e. physical struggle:

...the saying and actions of Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) show that Jihaad definitely is to start (offensive) fighting the kuffar to make the Words of Allah the highest and to propagate (da’wa) the call of Islam. Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

"I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that, ‘there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger’ and they establish the prayer and the zakat. And if they do this, then from me is protected their blood and their wealth except by the right granted by Allah."

As for his (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) actions, they are full of actions that show Jihaad is to start the fighting. So when he went out to Badr to take the caravan belonging to the Quraysh, this was going out to fight, this is offensive – as Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) initiated the action before the Quraysh. Likewise, when Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) invaded Hawazin in the battle of Hunayn, when he (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) seiged Ta’if and the battle of Mutah to fight the Romans and the Battle of Tabuk – all of these are evidences to show that Jihaad is to start fighting kuffar (offensive). This should clarify the erroneous view that in origin Jihaad is defensive...

It just occurred to me...Islam is in some ways much like that Star Trek (next generation) episode where one group only spoke by relating historical stories. Islam makes excuse for all their evils by relating to evil actions performed by Muhammad. "Chaka...when the walls fell."

Anti-Muslim=Rascism? Reader comment, (snip)



The glories of the conquerors in the history textbooks fail to mention their favourite pastime of constructing enormous pyramids of skulls in Mongol fashion, of the kaffirs killed in the conquest; or that every Moghul Emperor had to demonstrate in full court his valour as Ghazi – or kaffir-killer – by savaging a hapless surrendered victim soon after assuming throne, to pacify the contenders to throne and their jihadi theologians! To continue to credit the Ghazi Shah Jahan, an opium addict who had several wives and at least 300 concubines, with the construction of Taj Mahal as an expression of romantic love for his wife who died in the course of her 14th pregnancy, that too after the carbon dating of the main entrance gate proves its being built 400 years before his ascending the Moghul throne, is the ultimate tribute to appeasement of unreasoning jihadi obduracy.

7. In numerous such instances, Islamist aggressive postures prevent rigorous scientific re-evaluation of the history of jihad in India, to be substituted by appeasement on the part of the Secularists, who by definition must all be Hindu! Perhaps the day is not far off, when Islamists overrunning the world civilisation will claim that the first man on the Moon was sent on a magic carpet, in evidence of Magnificent Islam!

8. We are faced with an enemy who does not believe in the scientific method, using insidious methods to infiltrate and undermine robust cultures and democratic institutions under the pressure of unreasoning obscurantism. Thus the ruse of flinging epithets in accusation of racism, is employed merely for shock value and to dumb down critical examination through extreme polarisation. But it is possible to see through the methods of jihad through developing cross-cultural understanding of its history since its very beginning. We are no long shrinking violets in the present times after this long span of Islamist terrorism.

I for one am full of hope that in this last round we will meet the challenge with full resolve no matter what it takes to destroy the beast of terrorism worldwide, since intelligence and clarity will always serve to defeat unreasoning obfuscation and obscurantism. Please carry on Doctor; support will come in critical times from the most unexpected quarters, since it is time to dump jihad and all accumulated garbage, just like Nazism was, through concerted international effort. In fact the pathetic doublespeak used by the jihadis can hardly match up to Nazi Goebbelspeak at its height in terms of sophistication. We prevailed then as a collective, and we shall do so more comprehensively now!

Islam by authority of Quran = License to Mug people on a grand scale.. Small scale mugging is laughed at. Islam is commanded to mug the world for 1426 years.. the entire world.. ALL Wives and young women on earth are rightfully OWNED by followers of Allah for breeding purposes.. Islam is a hive.

JIHAD 101

Thanks for the ping!

We can prevent destruction of our earth only if we are willing to fight for the elimination of those verses of the Quran that exhort Muslims to fight in the cause of Allah. Failure to do so would only exacerbate the sufferings of the non-Muslims. Therefore, let us join hands and work together to get rid of all those verses of the Quran that incite Muslims to launch Jihad against the non-Muslims of the world.

Those verses closely resemble hate speech and incitement to violence.

Very interesting article. Thanks.
