Topeka (KSNT) – “Life is sacred, life is valuable and just murdering and killing innocent people is one of the worst crimes that humans can commit.” says Imam Omar Hazim
He says the beheadings and other acts of ISIS are not in the Quran, and are not reflective of Muslims or Islamic teachings.
When it comes to backlash within the community, Imam Hazim says, “Personally, in our community in Topeka, we didn’t have any.”
The Islamic Center has been active in the community for years.
Hazim says, “This community knows the people of their community, the Muslims of their community, because we have worked very hard in this community to establish good relationships with our neighbors. City officials, government officials.”
Laura Currah disagrees. “I’ve lost friends and family because I’ve converted to Muslim,” says Currah.
Currah has even seen parents tell their children not to play with her daughter anymore, because she’s Muslim.
Muslim leaders like Hazim continue to publicly distance themselves from ISIS. One method was a public letter signed by national Muslim leaders condemning the extremism of groups which include ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
However, “Most people that are half-way educated and informed about Islam. They know how to separate the difference,” says Hazim.
No. Your thinking of Dowelism.
The lady who converted...She converted to an ideology not a religion....
Quranic verses that dictate beheading Kaffirs:
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 (by 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;”
8:12- “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.”
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.”
9:123: “Oh ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find harshness in you.”
2:191- “Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from wherever they drove you out.”
5: 45— “We ordained therein for them: “Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear. Toth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.”
2:193- “Fight them on until there is no more tumult and religion becomes that of Allah”
9:29- “Fight those who do not believe in God and the last day... and fight People of the Book, (Christian and Jews) who do not accept the religion of truth (Islam) until they pay tribute (Zizziya tax) by hand, being inferior.”
8:17-It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..” (Allah is a real merciful indeed!)
