    Islam is as much a religion of peace as Christianity is.

    Keep telling yourself that.

    There are extremists in every religion. Christianity has its fair share . . . and so does Islam.

    But I believe the core teachings of boths religions is peace (and I say "I believe. . ." because I'm no expert on Islam).

    Much valuable information.

    The True Face of Islam
    By Abdullah Al Araby

    The Peaceful Prophet of Mecca Changes into the Ruthless Warrior of Medina
    The Abrogator and the Abrogated
    The Real At ude of Islam Towards Christians and Jews

    The Peaceful Prophet of Mecca Changes into the Ruthless Warrior of Medina
    Mohammed's decision to relocate his new movement from Mecca to Medina presented an economic challenge. He had to find a method of supporting himself and his followers that would also provide an adequate base to finance the ever-increasing demands of the Muslim movement. The traditional method for acquiring wealth among the Arabs at the time was attacking other tribes and seizing their possessions. Muslims living in Medina found no easier way than doing that. They started to make raids (Ghaswa) on other tribes and passing caravans.

    The first raid was called an-Nakhla. Muslims, led by Abdullah bin Jahsh, waited in ambush near a place called an-Nakhla and took the passing Qoray e caravan by surprise. Muslims killed the leader of the caravan and captured two men and the entire cargo goods.

    The turning point in Mohammed's life, however, was the raid against Badr. Muslims were able to kill dozens of Meccans and take scores of prisoners and much booty. On their way back to Medina some of those prisoners were put to death. One of them was a man name Uqbah bin abi Muait. Before his execution Uqbah pleaded with Mohammed saying, "Who, then, will take care of my little girl?" Mohammed answered, " -fire."

    After that, a confident Mohammed starting moving against his enemies in a series of attacks that resulted in the elimination of Jewish tribes and the assassination of certain individuals for the slightest offense. The assassination of Kaab ibn al-Ashraf, of the Jewish tribe Banu al-Nodair, was prompted by Kaab showing sympathy for the Qoray es, and then when he returned to Mecca he recited amorous poetry to Muslim women. Mohammed was enraged and asked for volunteers to rid him of ibn al-Ashraf. Those who volunteered asked for permission to lie in order to lure him out of his house at night into a remote area where they were able to kill him.

    A poetess named Asmaa bint Marwan was ordered to be killed for uttering a few verses of poetry against Mohammed. A Muslim assassin, acting on Mohammed's orders, crept at night into the women's bed while her suckling baby was attached to her breast. The man plucked the baby from her breast and then plunged his sword into her abdomen. Later, the killer, fearing the consequences of his crime, asked Mohammed, "Will there be any danger to me on her account?" Mohammed answered, "Two goats will not butt each other about her."

    There were many other outrageous assassinations ordered by Mohammed. Abu Afak, an old man of 120 years of age was murdered for composing poetry critical of the Prophet. Another brutal assassination was against an aged women by the name of Umm Kirfa. They tied her legs to camels which were then driven in opposite directions. The poor woman was split into two pieces.

    The reality of the Muslim assassin's brutality is punctuated by their practice of cutting off the heads of victims and bringing them to Mohammed. As the killers came into view carrying with them the evidence of Allah's victory over the enemies of Mohammed, a jubilant Mohammed would cry, "Allaho Akbar," (God is great)!

    The list of these horrendous acts is too long, much is too repulsive to mention. What has been cited should be sufficient to say about the man that Muslims describe as the "prophet of peace and mercy"!

    The essential problem is that the fruit of Mohammed's legacy exists today. As Muslims get deeper into Islam, they simply try to follow in the footsteps of their prime example. Can one still wonder why so much violence is committed, around the world, in the name of Islam?

    The Abrogator and the Abrogated
    In their attempt to polish Islam's image, Muslim activists usually quote the Meccan passages of the Quran that call for love, peace and patience. They deliberately hide the Medenan passages that call for killing, decapitating, and maiming.

    Muslim activists also fail to reveal to people in the West a major doctrine in Islam called "al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh" (the Abrogator and the Abrogated). This simply means that when a recent verse in the Quran gives a contradictory view to another verse that preceded it (chronologically), the recent verse abrogates (cancels and replaces) the old verse and renders it null and void.

    This doctrine is based on the Quran, where Allah allegedly says in Surah 2:106, "None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We subs ute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?" Also, in Surah 16:101 "When We subs ute one revelation for another, and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages), they say, "Thou art but a forger": but most of them understand not."

    One of Islam's classical reference books, written by a recognized Muslim scholar, deals in great detail with the subject. The le of the book is "al-Nasikh wal-Mansoukh" (The Abrogator and the Abrogated) by Abil-Kasim Hibat-Allah Ibn-Salama Abi-Nasr. The book goes through every chapter in the Quran and points in full detail to every verse that has been canceled and what verse replaced it. The author noted that out of 114 Surahs (chapters) of the Quran, there are only 43 Surahs that were not affected by this concept.

    An example of the abrogation: there are 124 versus that call for tolerance and patience which have been canceled and replaced by this one single verse: "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)....." Surah 9:5

    One doesn't help but wonder: how Allah, the all-powerful, the all-knowing, needs to revise himself so often?

    The Real At ude of Islam Towards Christians and Jews
    We have discussed the facade that Muslim activists in the West have been displaying to Christians and Jews. They have been saying that Islam is compatible with Christianity and Judaism. Some Christian and Jewish leaders have been deceived into believing them. The following "Fatwa" (Sanction) by a prominent Islamist tells, exactly and bluntly, what Muslims really think of Christians and Jews.

    From the Muslim site of Ibrahim Shafi on the Internet:
    http://www.wam.uwd.edu/~ibrahim
    [Answer by Shaikh Ibn Uthaimin]

    Question: One of the preachers in one of the mosques in Europe claimed that it is not allowed to consider Jews and Christians disbelievers. You know - may Allah preserve you - that most of the people who attend the mosques in Europe have very little knowledge. We fear that statements like this one will become widespread. Therefore, we request from you a complete and clear answer to this question.

    Answer: I say: The statement that came from that man is misguidance. In fact, it can be blasphemy. This is because Allah has declared that Jews and Christians are disbelievers in His Book. Allah has said, "The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth! They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary: Yet they were commanded to worship but one Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to him: (far is He) from having the partners they associate (with him)." [Al-Taubah 9:30, 31]

    That shows that they are polytheists who associate partners with Allah. In other verses, Allah has made it clear that they are disbelievers:

    "in blasphemy indeed are they who say that Allah is the Christ, son of Mary." {Al-Maidah 5:17 and 72]

    "They do blaspheme who say, God is one of three (in a Trinity)." {Al-Maidah 5:73]

    "Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected faith by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary." {Al-Maidah 5:78]

    "Those who reject (truth) among the People of the Book and the Polytheists will be in fire to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.." {Al-Bayyinah 98:6]


    Many versus and Hadith express the same meaning. The one, who rejects the idea that the Jews and Christians who do not believe in Mohammed (peace be upon him) and deny him are disbelievers, is in fact denying what Allah has said. Denying what Allah has said is blasphemy. If anyone has any doubt concerning them being disbelievers, then he himself is also a disbeliever. This is a matter concerning which there is no room for doubt. And help is sought only with Allah.

    You can probably find harsh words in the Bible too (specially in the Old Testament). That doesn't mean Christianity is not a Religion of peace . . .

    That's a nice punch line from George Carlin . . . but what does it mean in the context of this thread?

    According to the history books. The Quayrash(sp) in an effort to abolish Muslims denying there Paegan Idols was to destroy any property that belonged to the Muslims and imprisoning there family in Mecca so that they might give up. The battle at the wells of Badr and the battle at Mt. Uhud weren't raids the Muslims stationed themselves at the wells of Badr while one caravan of Busof Yan apporached them while Busofiyan and his part of the caravan headed back towards to Mecca, both tribes were expecting a war due to the Muslims being treated harshly and the Meccans wanting Islam no more. The Paegan arabs lost and later came back with a bigger army for redemption and this one the Muslims lost. Hey if you want to find anything negative about a subject you can do a simple search ala yahoo.com

    Islam is bad
    Judasim is bad
    Christianity is bad
    Religon is bad
    Chees is bad
    etc.

    Not even close to a scholar. This is why I don't post that much. Reading info allows you to learn more. Reading info from all over the world and pay particular attention to articles that interview Muslim clerics, interview and film the Imams sermons. Saudi Arabia ran a TV special a few weeks back on the proper way to beat your wife.

    The history of the Middle East has been the dictatorships have allowed the Imams to blame all their problems on the U.S. and Israel to keep the masses off of the governments back. The Imams want power in the world as that equates to money. The poor in the Middle East get madrassas for education. Nobody lives in a democracy. This is the reason Iraq is so important. Bush hopes Iraq would start a domino effect and freedom would come to the masses in the Middle East and radical Islam will hopefully die.

    My above post was written by an ARAB. The original post is a story on Islam and the beliefs of it's followers in the U.S. What better sources to use to form an opinion? Originally, I did believe the religion was a religion of peace. Over the past year, I have seen the truth. I see the inherint danger of the intolerance of the religion.

    Why, he's like NBADan, only with hypertext links.

    I actually checked out one of them, secularislam.org. It's interesting that people who lose their faith in Islam share a similar sentiment to those who lose their faith in Christianity. IT'S AS IF THEY WERE "SAVED" BY THEIR BRAIN.

    It makes me ponder the similarities of faithful Christians and Muslims, in very condescending terms.

    Back to the testimonials.

    Adios.

    Yes, because finding links on the Internet is so difficult.

    Wow.

    Smack, once again, try forming your own opinions by experiencing the religion not by looking at sites put up by people with agendas that happen to match yours.

    Not difficult . . . just time consuming and only 5% of posters actually get in them.

    Eritrea is about 50% Christian.

    I saw no info about the religious creed -- if any -- of the perp in the articles I found and none in yours.

    Why did you post it here? Is there something aboit the nature of the crime that leads you to conclude it must be peculiar to Islam?
