Gandalf's beliefs:
- there is no capital punishment for 'secularism' in Islamic Law - in fact there is no capital punishment in Islam at all -
according to the only source muslims should be using - the Quran.
- there is no Islamic earthly punishment for crimes of thought - including apostasy and blasphemy
- Islam emphasises personal responsibilities between individuals and God Almighty - not enforcement of "Islamic Law" by a temporal government run by mortal men
- The "Islamic legal basis" for these claims is the Quran itself - a document that is 99% about the personal, spiritual journey an individual muslim should pursue to obtain enlightenment - which includes being nice to people and (very importantly) not forcing your views on to others.
- I hold with the greatest contempt the invoking of alleged ahadith that quotes Muhammad as saying "above all else, make sure you are a royal nice people to all non-muslims" - and other such teachings.
Gandalf's personal beliefs couldn't be a more polar opposite to the muslim beliefs as alleged by Yadda. And the great irony here is that it is Yadda who is the hateful and intolerant one - and would happilly see the institutionalised persecution of people for their personal beliefs. In truth, he is the very caricature that he lectures against day in day out.
gandalf,
You calmly make these claims [above].
Claims which are wholly unsubstantiated - by you.
So gandalf, i offer you the opportunity to redeem yourself;
Please tell all of us, where are the Koran passages,
"the only source muslims should be using"
, which can actually give credibility to your assertions ?
Lets talk about.......
Credibility.
The factor which is lacking from almost every publicly issued communication emanating from a moslem community which is resident within a host NON-moslem nation.
Dictionary;
credible = = able to be believed; convincing.e.g.
"ISLAM rejects terror and promotes peace and harmony."
- The Muslim Council of Britain
.
THE KORAN PREACHES PEACE AND BROTHERLY LOVE......honest.
"....Lo!
Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98
"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008
v. 8-11
"...
And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of [i.e. for] those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?...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
"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
ISLAMIC LAW...."Ibn 'Umar related that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said,
"I have been ordered to kill the people until they testify that there is no god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and pay the zakah. If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me save by the rights of Islam. Their reckoning will be with Allah." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) "
fiqhussunnah/fus1_06
ISLAMIC LAW...."Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has been established.
Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and his blood may legally be spilled. [The acts are:] Testifying that there is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of Ramadan."...."
fiqhussunnah/#3.110
n.b.
"Whoever......becomes an unbeliever.....his blood may legally be spilled."THE HADITH....
"...the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him."
- DEAD.
