The President of Iran invited President Bush to become a Muslim, Is that a threat?

Question

As far as I know, when Muslims invite an enemy to become moslem, the moslem then has the right under islamic law to kill him if he refuses. Is this correct? any Muslims know the proper answer?

Answer 1

there are actually three options:

1) the person becomes a believer in the islamic faith and can therefore become an equal in society;

2) the person submits to islam, but does not practice it, therefore they become a "subject" but not an equal in society;

3) the reject the belief system and do not recognize it as the "official" religion and therefore are subject to be put to death.

Hello. I am muslim. i didnt even hear about this but let me try and answer the question to the best of my knowledge. However, firstly, i would like to correct the person who posted the question is that a MUSLIM (not moselm or anything else) is a follower of the religion of ISLAM. Some people think Islam is one religion and Muslim is another religion...that is wrong.

Anyway, back to the question.

I really have NO idea where you got the idea of a muslim inviting their eney to become muslim and therefore, it becomes a sneaky way of killing them. No. That is wrong.

The only reason a muslim can kill is when somebody inflicts something (physical) on the person FIRST. In other words, under Islamic Law (shariah) one can only do something physical if somebody else STARTED it first. You just can't go, "i hate you" and kill the person when they didnt do anything.

In the Quran it states that a muslim must be nice to the non-muslim who just lets them live their live without any animosity or abuse.

Hope that answers it.

Please fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, answer this. Allahu Alim.

Answer 3

The non-Muslim researcher (in particular) may find it risky to draw conclusions solely by reference to the primary sources of Islamic law, and should look critically at commentary that is consulted. While many elements of Sharia are unambiguous and unquestioned, the Koran has many internal inconsistencies and much of what is written (especially when found on the Internet) pursues a political agenda and is based upon tenuous ideological presumptions. Researchers are advised to support their conclusions with citations to recognized secondary sources which take account of established Sharia conventions for dealing with conflicts and doubt. There is nothing surprising here: the researcher must distinguish between what is advocacy and what is impartial theological or scholarly exposition.

***The President of Iran invited President Bush to become a Muslim, Is that a threat? ***

No, religious folk do that all the time,they don't mean anything much by it.It's the standard believe what i believe or go to hell stuff. Wait, on second thought,that could be viewed as threat. I don't know, was he smiling or serious when he said it?

Answer 5

I read the entire letter, he not not invite him to Islam, he told him that his actions didn't seem to follow Christ's example, which is probaly true.
Muslims believe some Christians and Jews are belivers, so no he still can't kill Bush. We can only kill when we are at war, and we can only be at war in a self defense matter.

Answer 6

I think Muslims on this forum should come forward and reply to the question so that non muslims could understand what there stand is to this point. Their silence will also strengthen the idea of Muslims being fanatics.

Answer 7

Sounds like it to me. Now that the president of Iran has issued that he may feel free to make more war against the west.

Answer 8

I've been praying for Bush to make right decisions. The angels are watching over him now.

Answer 9

he'd end eating pink meat rinds i don't believe of his politcal perspectives would replace the in ordinary words question is would he benefit followers in Iraq? because the U. S. can not win in Iraq except we and the Iraqi authorities have wone the hearts and minds of the iraqi human beings.

Answer 10

Great, just exactly what we need in Islam... Another nut with a lot powers and weapons and ignorance.
