All the countries attacking not only the terrorists but many muslim civilians and waging a war on us and claiming they're liberating us and giving us peace. Look at what Mosul and Raqqa and many other liberated cities in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and Syria look like right now. It's peace really, cuz no one is alive. LOL
Islam will bring real peace but before peace it'll serve justice and it'll fight against the tyrants and the oppressors. It is not like we will kill every non-muslim, no way, Christians & Jews have lived under Muslim rule since Muhammad's (Peace Be Upon Him) time. There will be a covenant of safety and Muslims are going to protect non-muslims under it's rule the same way they'll protect muslims. Same rights. Then you'll realize that Islam is truly a peaceful religion. Yes there will be punishment for those who falsely claimed to be Muslim to led people astray. Yes theives hand will get chopped, and stuff but soon there will be no robbery due to fear of a hand getting chopped and due to equal share of wealth.
About the word Infidel, I googled this word yesterday the first time as I don't even understand what it really means and I still don't completely get it but Muslims all over the world just refer to all non-muslims as infidels. I think it should not be considered an insulting word, it just means we are muslims and you're not. Only a Muslim would consider it an insult when it is said to him because he thinks of himself as a Muslim and you call him a Non-Muslim.
Christians are close to us then any other non-muslim. There is even a prophecy about Christians and Muslims having a peace treaty and fighting against a common enemy in future, China maybe. Once Prophet Isa (Jesus, Peace Be Upon Him) is back, and he'll have 2 eyes unlike the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) who is one eyed, as Hollywood portrays, Most Christians and Muslims would follow whatever Jesus follows. When He follows Islam, Christians will accept Islam too.
What's a Jew to you? When Prophet Isa (Jesus, PBUH) came. What were Jews considered if they didn't accept Christianity? Obviously they rejected the truth. Whatever a Jew is to you, you are to us.
Thank you for responding. The "Us and Them" part is interesting. I didn't know that there is a deep religious belief set you had as a Muslim either. Now I understand. This is an belief based and emotional issue, not a logical one with reasoning. Emotions and logic don't mix. People do things for emotional reasons and justify them with logic.
So. I did not expect really that much animosity towards non-muslims. I truly feel for you being in or near a war zone, it's simply awful. Innocent people are being killed and you are angry, but so am I. I didn't choose to go to the ME and start any wars, the country I was born in did and had business interests and politicians that decided it was their duty to do that.
Whoa.... where did that come from???? Christianity in all it's crazy forms and Judiasm is much older, 1400 years or so Muslims so it's the youngest religion.
Christians & Jews have lived under Muslim rule since Muhammad's
I have never lived under that rule, nor will. These above comments about Serving Justice, treaties, prophecy, sharia law thing, chopping off hands, 2 eyes, one eye, rejecting the truth (Who's truth?) protecting, punishment, When He follows Islam, Christians will accept Islam too, all that sort of thing is culturally incompatible with the West as it is Christian based. If that is what all Muslims who arrive into Europe and the USA believe in and practice, then they will never fit in and need stay where they are. The problem is much larger than I thought if your view is shared by all the refugees and that of being a superior race/religion. Do your ideas represent the majority? I respect your beliefs as your own, but imposing them on others I do not. Just like the West trying to impose democracy on the ME. It's wrong. It's never going to work.
Infidel in english to me is an exclusionary and offensive word. It is divisive.
I am atheist- so I consider that you are 6 feet under when you die. Period. But I don't tell anyone that, nor debate that belief, nor impose or preach it- other people can believe in anything they want and I respect that. Even if it's the tooth fairy, or buddha or Santa Claus.
As far as the "What is a Jew", the way that is stated has a negative connotation to it, don't you think so?
I have a number of friends who were born Jewish, they are not exclusionary and we are good friends. They have been very educated and helpful people to me over the years. They also are financially successful and good business people. I have never met nor interacted with a Muslim person to understand them so hopefully I will in the future, as long as they don't treat me like an Infidel or non-believer or threaten to chop off my hands. That's scary shit.
The irony is that people from the middle east buy domain names to sell back into the USA, yet they hate their USA customers????? wow.
I am truly sorry for all the problems the west has brought to your part of the world. But you have to admit you do enjoy the rest, like the internet, everybody loves Gasoline cars, Hollywood, computers, cell phones and all the other things the West invented.
Well, I can see I got a fast education!
Thank you for sharing.
Peace be with you!
