FD, do you think that all Muslims support the 9/11 attacks or terrorism in general?


No. I think that even out of those Muslims who might support the return to militant expansionism, most would recognise 9/11 and terrorism in general as a strategic blunder.



I mean support on a personal level as compatible with their religious beliefs, rather than support as a strategic move.

I think the compatibility with the religion bit is a grey area. While Islam claims to be a complete code in the general sense, Muhammed was never in the situation of being a perpetual loser in the geopolitical sense and this has left Muslims with a bit of a vacuum. This is why you get such disturbing contradictions, like the UK Muslim leader saying that westerners are not innocent, or Abu declaring that we have been at war for 100 years, while also claiming that Islam obligues him to obey our laws. The difficulty in getting a straight answer from Muslims here does not bode well.

Despite this, I think most self-identifying Muslims oppose terrorism, justifying it either with religious dictate or humanism. However, this is still not entirely reassuring to me. I think it is necessary and important to confront the problems in an open and honest manner. The death of militant Islam will be a slow and painful process and may involve the death of Islam as we know it.

Yadda you like to make extrem statments without providing any evidence.





Sorry falah,

And when i provide evidence, people complain.

"Yadda, just a one line reply pleeeeeeease! That is sufficient."

The Quran says: "...if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in God. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."
[al-Anfal, v.61]




Peace.

Google;
sophistry, peace with unbelievers, submission to Allah's will




falah,
A very important consideration when talking with moslems, about seeking 'peace', is to know, how do moslems define the word >>> PEACE <<< ?

And moslems define, peace = = submission to Allah's will.


"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things)."
Koran 8.61



So.....
.....if the unbelievers sue for a cessation of hostilities, AND, incline towards submission to Allah's will [i.e. accepting ISLAM], then don't fight them.

Therefore, to moslems, 'peace' = = surrender to ISLAM.

OTHERWISE !.....[see below]

But Why did he ???

Why did Mohammed forbid moslems to destroy war booty ?????????????

Duh ?

Let think......

Duh, duh, duh.

Coz war booty, is war booty ['treasure', knob toys, etc].

There is no sense in destroying war booty, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MOSLEMS ARE FIGHTING FOR.



Hence, Mohammed forbade moslems from killing women and children.



already explored and covered,  here on OzPol,
"Islam specifically forbids killing of non-combats"

falah,
Define moslem 'peace', as it relates to non-moslems.

That concept [i.e. peace with non-moslems], for a moslem, is a contradiction in terms.

THERE CAN NEVER BE PEACE WITH UNBELIEVERS [i.e. 'the friends of Satan']   <-----The 'prime directive', to all moslems, from Allah



"......the curse of Allah is on those without Faith."
Koran 2.089

"....Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98
[i.e. 'Unbelief' is a crime.]

"...And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah...Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan:.."
Koran 4.74-76
[i.e. Fighting against 'unbelievers' is sanctified, fighting against 'unbelievers' is 'good works'. Because 'unbelievers' [of Allah] are in league with SATAN. So those who are indeed, good moslems will fight against the 'unbelievers'.]

"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008
v. 8-11

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. "
Koran 9.29

"Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers. If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah; except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them."
Koran 3.28

"O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love,..."
Koran 60.1

"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123

"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:...."
Koran 9.111

"...If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him."

This is incorrect. What you have stated is the meaning of being at peace with God; submitting to God's will.

That is not the meaning of peace used in the verse I mentioned. The verse uses the word "salm" which means "peace" in the general sense of the word. This is how Islamic scholars have understood the word. The definition you have given is for the word "Islam" which mean "sumbission".

For example I have before me the translation of the Quran produced by the Saudi Government. In the footnot to this verse it says: "While we must always be ready for the good fight lest it be forced on us, even in the midst of the fight we must always be ready for peace if there is any inclination towards peace on the other side. There is no merit merely in a fight by itself."

Not just women and children, but also the elderly and monks in monastries. Do you suppose the eldery are worth much as war booty?

Yadda, you said that Muslims must support any attack that weakens their enemy. If that were true, Muslims would destroy the food sources and water supplies of their enemies. Afterall, what would weaken an enemy more than denying them food? Yet it is forbidden in Islam to do so.

What is your point here? Even if someone is cursed by God or at war with God it does not mean that muslims cannot have a treaty with them. Throughout history Muslim Governments have had treaties with people who were not Muslim.

"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008

Your translation is incorrect and you omit parts


74. Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of God, and whoso fights in the Cause of God, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward.

75. And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of God, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help."

76. Those who believe, fight in the Cause of God, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Satanic oppression . So fight you against the friends of Satan; Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Satan.

The "fight in the Cause of God" phrase is understood to mean fighting with the Islamic government in its wars against the enemies of the state.

It is not understood to mean killing an unbeliever who has a peace treaty with the Muslims.


Prophet Muhammed gave a grave warning to any Muslim who kills an unbeliever who is protected by treaty:


“Whoever unlawfully kills a person protected by treaty will not smell the fragrance of Paradise (eg. will not go to Heaven)...”
[Bukhari]

It appears even more Coptic Christians are being loved to death by muslims.
Over 3000 Muslims Attack Christian Homes and Shops in Egypt, 3 Injured
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posted GMT 1-28-2012 1:39:42
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AINA) -- A mob of over 3000 Muslims attacked Copts in the village of Kobry-el-Sharbat (el-Ameriya), Alexandria this afternoon. Coptic homes and shops were looted before being set ablaze. Two Copts and a Muslim were injured. The violence started after a rumor was spread that a Coptic man had an allegedly intimate photo of a Muslim woman on his mobile phone. The Coptic man, Mourad Samy Guirgis, surrendered to the police this morning morning for his protection.

According to eyewitnesses, the perpetrators were bearded men in white gowns. "They were Salafists, and some of were from the Muslim Brotherhood," according to one witness. It was reported that terrorized women and children who lost their homes were in the streets without any place to go.

According to Father Boktor Nashed from St. George's Church in el-Nahdah, a meeting between Muslim and Christian representatives was supposed to take place in the evening in Kobry-el-Sharbat. But, by 3 P.M. a Muslim mob looted and torched the home of Mourad Samy Guirgis, as well as the home of his family and three homes of Coptic neighbors. A number of Coptic-owned shops and businesses were also looted and torched. "We contacted security forces, but they arrived very, very late," Said Father Nashad. The fire brigade was prevented from going into the village by the Muslims and the fires were left to burn themselves out. "Those who lost their home, left the village," said Father Nashed.

Coptic activist Mariam Ragy, who was covering the violence in Kobry-el-Sharbat , said it took the army 1 hour to drive 2 kilometers to the village. "This happens every time. They wait outside the village until the Muslims have had enough violence, then they appear." She said that she spoke to many Copts from the village this evening who said that although their homes were not attacked, Muslims stood in the street asking them to come to their homes to hide. "They believed that this was a new trick to make them leave, so that Muslims would loot and torch their homes while they were away," said Ragy.

The Gov of Alexandria visited al-Nahda, near Kobry-el-Sharbat, this evening and told elYoum 7 newspaper that the two Copts and one Muslim who were injured were transported to hospital. He said that the family of the Muslim girl whose image was on the Copt's mobile phone wanted revenge from the Coptic man. They broke into his home and torched a furniture factory located in the same building.

Joseph Malak, a lawyer for the Coptic Church in Alexandria, said it is too early to count injuries to Copts or losses to their property.

Mr. Mina Girguis, of the Maspero Youth Union in Alexandria, said that "collective punishment of Copts for someone else's mistake, which is yet to be determined, is completely unacceptable." He believes that the reason for this violence is fabricated, and the military is behind it. "They are trying to divert the attention from the second revolution which is taking place now."

Father Nashed denied that Islamists were present, only ordinary village Muslims, and could not give an explanation as why people who have lived together amicably for years could commit such violence. "Maybe because of lack of security, they think that they can do as they please."

He said that the nearly 65 Coptic families were ordered to stay indoors and not to open their shops and businesses tomorrow. He added that security forces did not arrest any of the perpetrators, "on the contrary, they were begging the mob to go home."

By midnight the violence had subsided.
