Including Muslim scholars?
Probably.

You are not an Islamic scholar? Why should I take you seriously. You don't know much about Islam!
I know enough to know that Mohammad was a warrior living in 7th Century Arabia.

Right now, I can send my message to someone in Alaska within 0.22seconds, and have an answer back in similar time? Technologies and societies had improved and evolved far beyond the days of crusades. We can never go back to those days, unless our world is destroyed by nukes. I do not know what other hi-tech weapons will be used in world war 3, but i do know that come world war 4, we will surely be using sticks and stones!
So you're assuming that just because you can send a message to someone in Alaska which is in the USA which is a developed countries within 0.22 seconds and have an answer back in similar time plus assuming you're living in a developed nation too, that all the Middle Easterners are able to do that too?
And yes, nice quote there Mr. Einstein.
If the Third World War is fought with nuclear weapons, the fourth will be fought with bows and arrows.

The world can wait even another 400 years for education and eradication of islamic 'mis-interpretations'. But only if affirmative action WILL come from the Islamic faith to stop the destruction of its own religion by monsters who misinterpretate religious texts to gain recruits, funds and sympathizers for their diabolical mass murdering schemes of innocent men, women and children.
That's why we need to help them, empower the Muslims with advanced communication technologies.
No longer should the rural areas be isolated from the rest of the population asisolation can breed ignorance that is brought down from generation to generation.
Yet, you should know that the Muslims unlike Christians don't have a figure-head equal to that of the pope. Thus unlike the Christian issue, the Muslim issue is quite tricky.
Catholics and Protestants, after centuries of bitter fighting and bombings of innocents, ended during our times, and these idealogies survived.
Are you serious? Has the centuries of bitter fighting and bombings of innocent really ended? Or only between the two groups?
The Arabs and Muslims will be quite happy with their backwardness had the West and the rest of the world not progressed.
Now that they have oil wealth but realised how much they have regressed all this time, they feel that it must be the West and the rest of the world that have caused their regression..

Dont you know what is in the links you posted? (Thats just like you)
Antony C Sutton?

His research shows that there are some U.S companies selling tech to USSR.
USA also sold grain to USSR.
The Agriculture Department reported that private exporters have sold another 400,000 tons of American grain to the Soviet Union.
The transactions, reported by the department yesterday, consisted of 250,000 tons of corn and 150,000 tons of wheat that will be applied toward the sixth yeange about it.ar of the United States-Soviet Union grain agreement, which begins Oct. 1. The agreement provides for sales of up to 8 million tons without prior consultations. Talks are scheduled for Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 in Moscow on expected United States permission to sell more than 8 million tons of grain.

Islam does not change it is people who follow it that make the decision.
The rules of Islam is very simple,it is written specifically in the Quran.
Aggression is allowed only when attacked and even then forgiveness is better if they fear Allah.
So in short,we are allowed to retaliate if a person does harm,an eye for an eye,an arm for an arm,,and so on.
But only to the person who does the harming not to others.
Inshallah we will all get what we deserve,our sin are our own.
No other can bear the other.
For muslim one and all who fear allah and fear the fire,would seek HIS pleasure and do what is right.
I shall give an example of aggression in Islam.
Once 2 warriors fought,blood lust rose and they fought till one is overcome,but at the last moment the winner did not kill.
When asked why,he simply said,if i had taken your life it is due to anger and not for Allah sake.
So in islam we are commanded to do the best we can for Allah and not for ourselves.

Greetings of peace to you too, Zulkiflim.
It would be an honour and priviledge to meet a person of your calibre and understanding in the battlefield, for you understand the concept of 'noble warrior'. But let us NEVER meet under any circumstances in the battlefield, this and the generations to come.
Being able to comprehend such concepts, thus i am assured that the terrorists whom claimed affinity to your religion who slays innocents are only worth contempt in your mind and against the religious doctrines you had been taught, not worthy of any support, funds or even sympathy for their actions.
But it is not enough that you know all these, you must help ensure others understand this as well, and make them promise or even swear to help others understand this.
For too long, many heads of state had failed both religion and society to eradicate the oppression of terrorism. It is up to us, the masses whom are closer to the ground, to effect such changes.
The past is past. The dead is dead. But there is much we can do for those living, and those yet to come as well as honour those whom had needlessly die in order that we remember we are humans after all. I hope you will consider my words. Thanks.
You put too much emphasis on religion and not realising the underlying cause, which is: political, territorial, nationalistic conflicts. Some experts also say the final reason after all is poverty.
I have not heard or read one single serious article or experts who say the underlying factor is religion.
This thread is rubbish from the very first post.
But I like.![]()

I agree.
That's what the Arabs and the Muslim terrorists are doing right now.

So in Islam, the rule of Law doesnt exist? Isnt this the smoking gun?
On one hand, this makes a lot of sense in US-occupied Iraq and Afghanistan and why there is so much resistance.
On the other hand, one could argue that Muslims aren't following this principle. If their religion gets criticised or "offended", they riot and sometimes kill. According to what Zul said, they should just criticise the "offending" religion back shouldnt they?

No sarcasm intended. If only more Muslims were like you.
But I still find issue with the "an eye for an eye" belief.

So the Islamic principles since Mohammad's warrior escapades do not change? Inshallah, people will be able to engage in doublethink...

Those are the views of Islamic scholars. I have to quote one of them so that you can condemn the scholar.
Here it goes:
Ibn al-Qayyim said in al-Faroosiyyah (p.18):
Undoubtedly taking the initiative in fighting has a great effect in spreading Islam and bringing people into the religion of Allaah in crowds. Hence the hearts of the enemies of Islam are filled with fear of jihad.
With reference to what Zulkiflim said, i will rather not follow laws and rules blindly. The world is always changing, so will situations.
Therefore, the teachings must be revised to keep up with current thinking. In that way, terrorists will not be able to get their way with innocents with their distorted perceptions. I strongly recommend this. If not, followers will become terrorists or abandon their beliefs easily.
The thing is that he has admitted that in Islam there is no law. If someone hurts you, you take revenge in the exact way in which you are hurt.
You know what, you shouldn't let yourself be consumed about why this or why that, If this If that, why this can be done or can't be done, worry about yourself, cause your life is short, ..worry about how you treat others, worry that you might be sidetracked from the straight path. It really dosen't matter what you say or do here, as it would never go beyond the realms of this online forum.Seek the absolute truth, learn from men of sacred knowledge,what you have out there in the mainstream world is a whole load of distortions to misguide. In the end my friends, what comes up must go down and the truth will always prevail, then you will see the light that had been veiled from your eyes all this while and when that time comes, It'll be too late to regret.Peace.
What constitutes the truth? As long as 51% of people believe in a 'truth', it automatically becomes the truth.
