There are Muslims who condemn terrorism but can't condemn Jihad. The same Muslims who deny Islam's involvement in 9/11 and say it was the work of the CIA and the Jews and that "Muslims would never do such thing", delight of the carnage and say America had it coming and that the Muslims have been oppressed and now they are rightfully retaliating. I had conversations with Muslims who expressed these diametrically opposing views, i.e. "Muslims won't do such a thing" and "America deserved it" in two consecutive sentences. Which category do they belong to?
Real muslims won`t do such things. America ? Hmmm.... based on curent news that they`re supplying precision guided bomb to Israel to bomb Lebanon and supporting the crime... sadly, they should be realized what have they done to the world.
You have to read it in a historic context (sha'ne nozool), why and in what occasion Muhammad said a certain verse. In this, you refer to tafseer. Tafseer is the interpretation of the Quran. Tafseer means to clarify, to expound. It is derived from "fasara", which means "to explain, or to unveil".
There are many books on tafseer. The reason is that the Quran is an obtuse and at times contradicting book. The historic context of the verses must be explained so its real meaning becomes clear.
Good work on this. However, time also plays the role. If you`ve done enough research, you would know what`s happening when the verses were told. They`re not told without reasons.
Btw, jihad does not only mean war. Jihad against yourself (don`t know the word, sorry), satan and all sort of evils. Jihad can also mean you`re fighting the crime, social problems, poverty ...
Of course, that is a moderate Islamic site with the agenda to propagate Islam as a peaceful religion. Try a search for an Islamic fundamental site or ex-Muslim site. I encourage this so you can research Islam in an honest and objective manner.
An ex-muslim will usually tell bad about Islam. Islam knows about this. Just like traitors will always likely tell bad about their previous believe, country or any other things.
We've been taking the blunt of the Islamic terror for the Western world since the first major Islamic terrorist wave of the 1970s, the Americans have been the second target of every Shi'ite nutball with an agenda and access to explosives, and ...
Well, Israel has killed more people than the Arabs directly or not while refusing some hundred thousands to get back to their land... and that with "moral high ground"!
Why don`t you all perform all the root cause analyses we know on this problem. Islam is the answer ? That`s bigot.
Now, please tell me; why never you want to give back the stolen land ? You occupy their land, they resist and what...? You call them terrorists! Is that fair ? Yeah... fair because they intend to kill Israelis civillians. While never condoning crime, their attack seems valid. I see just like France in WWII.
What about IDF killed loads of people ? No, they never
intent to kill civillians. No one knows if they`re
lying. Afterall, truth is always the first victim of a war!
... and so is self defense.. israel has to do something..
Self-defense ? That`s disproportionate agression! What about diplomatic ?
