I received an email today, and I thought I should show everyone this.
Muslim belief
This is a true story.
The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you
have a pulse you have a purpose.
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United
States, especially in the minority races!!! Last month I attended my
annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison
security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation
by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim
faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The
Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a
video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong,but I understand that most Imams and
clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of
the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims)
they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me
the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and,without hesitation, he
replied, 'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of
Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they
can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to
that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John
Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley
ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place
in heaven!'
The Imam was speechless!
I continued, 'I also have problem with being your friend when you and
your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a
question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for
you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am
going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification'
training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the
Islamic Imam , and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect
the President! I think everyone in the U.S. and Canada should be
required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be
widely publicized,unless each of us send it on!
This is your chance to make adifference...
FOR GODS' SAKE! SEND THIS ON!
For some of you, you may have seen this as a "Hell yeah! Go Jesus!" or "Damn Muslims!", but I want to point out that even though this says "True Story" at the top, it most certainly is not.
The reason that this is not a true story, is because if he actually asked the Islamic Imam if all Muslims are/were commanded to kill all Infidels, (non believers) Imam would have told him "NO".
No where in the Qur'an does it say that all Muslims must kill all non believers. It does however have a verse that many have taken as saying so. Even some Muslims have taken it to mean to kill.
2:190 - And fight in the cause of Allah with those who fight with you...
And here is the "dumb down" version, kinda like the Christian NIV version of KJ.
2:190 - You may fight in the cause of GOD (Allah) against those who attack you...
What comes after the ... I will get to shortly.
It is quite clear that fighting is to be done in self-defense. Now, anyone can commit acts of terror and aggression and say, "It's in self-defense." In fact, that is precisely what Al Qaeda is doing. They claim by killing 3,000 people in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., they are "defending" the Muslim nation against "Zionist and Crusader" aggression against the Muslims."
Now for what comes after the ...
2:190 (cont) - and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.
Again in the "dumb down" text.
2:190 (cont) - but do not commit aggression, for verily, God (Allah) does not love aggressors.
It then goes on to say in verse 2:191-195...
2:191 - "And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers."
2:192 - "But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
2:193 - "And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors."
2:194 - "The Sacred month for the sacred month and all sacred things are (under the law of) retaliation; whoever then acts aggressively against you, inflict injury on him according to the injury he has inflicted on you and be careful (of your duty) to Allah and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)."
2:195 - "And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves to perdition with your own hands, and do good (to others); surely Allah loves the doers of good."
I am not going to give you the "dumb down" version because this is pretty black and white.
They are not commanded to kill any non Muslim. They are commanded to fight back when oppressed, and to do so with Allah in mind. Do not exceed the punishment they give to them, for they will have to answer to Allah when they die. Which is far worse than what any mere mortal can do.
Most of the Muslim attacks are based on retaliation for attacks and oppression against them. But the ones like 9/11 and such, are from those that got spoon fed the wrong translation of the verse, from Osama.
Blame not the religion, but blame those that use religion as their weapon blindly.
