QWe have to learn in dealing with the Muslim world. Do we learn the
right lessons? Do we have to deal in a different way with the Muslim
world?
THE PRESIDENT: There is a -- there needs to be more understanding
between the Muslim world and the Western world. There needs to be a
better understanding of the true beliefs of their respective religions.
We must understand words mean things to different people. There's got
to be a better way to communicate with ourselves. Sometimes my own
messages send signals that I don't mean to send, but stirs up anxieties
in the Muslim world.
On the other hand, I take great comfort in knowing that the true Muslim
-- Islam, itself, is a peaceful religion, and those who adhere to Islam
are people that respect the rights of others. And there's common values
in the great religions. And what we cannot allow happen is for these
totalitarians, these Islamic extremists to distort a great religion and
define the nature of that religion.
How do you know that: "Islam, itself, is a peaceful religion"? Perhaps by reading the
Qur'an?
2:216. Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you
(Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a
thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.
8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief
and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer
of what they do.
9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2)
nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by
Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the
religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and
feel themselves subdued.
9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in
Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success.
61:4. Verily, Allâh loves those who fight in His Cause in rows
(ranks) as if they were a solid structure .
61:10. O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment.
61:11. That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad), and
that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know!
61:12. (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of 'Adn Eternity ['Adn (Edn) Paradise], that is indeed the great success.
Mr. President, who knows more about Islam, you or Allah? If Islam is peaceful:
- Why did Allah make Jihad mandatory[2:216]?
- Why did Allah command fighting disbelivers until he has a monoply on worship[8:39]?
- Why did Allah command fighting Jews & Christians until they pay extortion & feel subdued [9:29]?
- Why did Allah purchase the believers with a covenant exchanging Paradise for Jihad[9:111]?
- Why is Jihad a get out of Hell card[61:10...12]?
AbuDawud Book 14, Number 2526 Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things are the roots of
faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god
but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits,
and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad
will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet
until the day the last member of my community will fight with the
Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any
just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.
SahihBukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 512: Narrated Anas: The Prophet
offered the Fajr Prayer near Khaibar when it was still dark and then said, "Allahu-Akbar!
Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned." Then the inhabitants of Khaibar
came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring
and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet . The Prophet made her manumission as her 'Mahr'.
Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390: Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I
was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair.
Sahih Bukhari Ch. 63 # 2989: Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has commanded us to fight you until you worship Allah alone or pay the
jizya. Out Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has informed us from the message of our Lord: whoever of us is killed will go to the Garden in bliss whose like he has never seen. Whoever of us remains will be your masters.
Mr. President, you claim to know something that is factually untrue, that "Islam, itself, is a peaceful religion". I charge you to confess your error and repent, show relevant, verifiable proof of the validity
of your assertion, or stand forever known as a liar and blasphemer!
