do you want to know what really is ISLAMIC jihad is?

..^_^ "see the life Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)" the Hadith (sometimes called the second inspiration with the Qur'an being the first inspiration) clearly explains that... see below.. 1. Since Muslims believe that prophets must be sinless, so then Muhammad is not a prophet because in (Bukhari vol. I, nos. 711; 78; vol. V, no. 724) the Hadith reveals that Muhammad had to ask forgiveness for sin more than seventy times a day. 2. He was guilty of false prophecies. first is The 100 yr. Prophecy. (Bukhari vol. I, no. 539) second is The end of the world predictions. (Bukhari vol. IV, no.401) 3. He kissed and caressed the idol of black stone set into the wall of the Kabah. (Muslim vol. II, no. 2912, 2916) 4. He believed in magic, the evil eye, amulets, omens, spells, etc. He was superstitious about many things and made up weird rules about bathroom duties (Bukhari vol. 1, no. 144; vol. IV, nos. 110, 111; vol. VII, nos. 636, 648, 649, 650; Muslim vol. I, no. 458; vol. III, 3 nos. 5424, 5427). 5. He was afraid whenever a strong wind blew (Bukhari vol. II, no. 144) and of eclipses (Bukhari vol. II, no. 167). 6. the Hadith tells us that Muhammad was at times under magical spells, i.e., bewitched, and told lies and did things while under those spells. (Bukhari vol. IV, nos. 400, 490; VII, no. 660; Muslim vol. III, no. 5428) ..^_^ regarding the Christian martyrs in the Bible.. they did not harm others or avenge.. they just tell and spread the Gospel.. why did they do that.. if it is false.. if it where you, will you not avenge???

Without visiting this site, I want to tell you what my idea of jihad is. It is as you say a war against all forms of evil and not religion alone. It is a call for self-improvement and a right to self-defence. Now all this is fine, only the self-defence is something I don’t agree with. Many Muslims I have spoken to on jihad have said that self-defence means a right to defend their own religion too and since they think that in today’s world Islam and Muslim nations are more and more under attack from the west, they have a right to proclaim jihad. This is something which frightens me, scare me really. I am not a Muslims and though I respect all religions, I do not subscribe to Islamic beliefs and I propagate my own religious beliefs. So does that make me a threat to Islam and therefore eligible for killing?

Hi Moon, I really can tell you much about Muslims religon. I am a Baptist. But I will read the link you gave, I haven't been on Mylot for a while.

I am glad to hear you say that JIHAD does not mean to kill non-muslims. I think, however, that many radical muslims do think that, or a least use it as an excuse to kill others. It is so sad that many fanatics use their religious faith as an excuse to do bad things. That behavior is not restricted to Muslims, either. Catholics have killed many Protestants, Protestants have killed many Catholics. Both Catholics, Protestants and Muslims have killed many Jews. The Bible tells of Jews killing Christians and Muslims---and the list goes on and on. I read of many violent actions in the name of religion. True faith of any religion is really based on service, not on hate. Killing in the name of religion is at best misguided and at worst opportunistic.

hello mooon, i don't know much about the war. but, i do know that the war might be the Armageddon war. i heard that all my life. i don't understand much about religion. i not know what religion is until my mommy talk to me about it when i was 21 years old. i follow my mommy ways. she raise me in christianity. thank you moon for telling us the story. i like to read a lot. :)

This is your version and it may be true that it was originally so. But now, the muslim terrorist groups have started killing just because the other disagrees with them.

I moon, I really can not speak on this suject, because I don't know much about Muslins. Everyone has a right to there own oppinion.

You confirmed my belief that no religion can ever advocate wickedness and vicious behaviour. Even without reading it my conviction was this . It is people who get fanatic blaming religion for their shortfalls. Every religion would definitely advocate tolerance and love for humanity .

Imagine though a car that was hard to control that in the hands of skilled drivers performed fine but in the hands of average drivers was dangerous, what would you say of such a vehicle? Now imagine also that some average drivers were going around advocating everyone to get this car and saying that the pedestrians that get injured and killed bought it on themselves by not owning on of these cars? all the best urban

Hi moon, I want to ask your forgiveness if you will read something that is not good to you and to our religion ISLAM. I just want you to know that I think this is not the right place to talk about belief because as you know people have their own beliefs when it comes to religions and we cannot force them to change that. Let us show them how peaceful people we are, their will be time that Allah will call them to understand what ISLAM realy is. Its so hard to educate people if they don't listen or read. I hope that all responses here will not go the same way as the first one. Thank you and I know that you don't have bad intention of spreading the good news of ISLAM. But I believe this is not the right place.

Hi moon, Thank you very much for this, it is very informative. It is the case in all religions that fundamentalists often make everyone look bad. I think if more people were to read the QURAN, they would see that the teachings are not like they thought. It's too bad that religions are so against each other that they won't read each others holy books. Blessings.

well, i believe that the nature of every religion is good. it's the follower who make this religion or that religion look bad and useless for humanity. sometime it's because they misinterpret their scriptures. sometime they just lazy to use their mind. they are too lazy to explore the real meaning of their scripture and just accept it literally under the reason that it's "the words of god".
