This message is especially for Ameera, as she is not having any mail contact, and the request is made from Akash http://in.answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=An5LtifYwp5bAL_D2cKhhKiCHQx.?show=f512a14ec6da7e9e59643660d4dd1ba7aa

People have written so much alongwith supporting links, That I think I needn't write more on this point.
I tried to contact Ameera, but alas! she didn't gave even her mail ID, which offcourse she must be having, else how cud she enter yahoo answers. So I was unable to tell her, that actually what these people do is that they never follow Islam in actual, but make others also to blindly say that they are also muslim, by sword only, otherwise they fear that people won't convert to muslim. The result is that those converted, don't even know what is islam actually, but to simply follow the rumours & a bit ( say 5-10%) of real Islam, off course know Jehad= fight with other religion people on just a call fm mosque, blindly without knowing the reason.
This way Islam is going corrupt & diverted from its original path , as in quran. Other reason is misinterpretations of quran.
This also leads to sword problem, It says make people come to the way of Allah, (But not that otherwise kill them) but thy simply give people only two options, either convert or die.
So this is the main problem with muslims, what they do, when that is complained by the people, they quote the sayings of Islam, as an excuse & that Islam is not bad, but while following those sayings, they are nowhere to follow.

Answer 3

Muslim brothers don't believe in Sword, they believe in God the All mighty.They are capable of the best love in the world.The Taj Mahal is a good example of love.But if you are against their belief and denounce their religion , then just like any other religious people in the world they take to swords.So it is something like either hit out or kick out.You called Muslims as brothers so be like a brother and don't denounce their way they have good points take them and Ignore the bad ones.By denouncing other's religion you are indirectly denouncing your own religion.

Answer 4

Sword can mean anything, even love.

The youngest islamic sect which have for founder Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (who wrote the book "Jesus in India") define this sword as pen.

A literature & media war to propagate islam and it's real values.

Answer 5

Islam is not that u r seeing in tV.how could u be sure they r right.
i'm not sure,of course it's hard to believe what u don't want to believe
so as the islam said:
there is no obligatory for acepting islam until u find a better way.
so move ur way istead of saying these things. Jihad is sth that u should work on for years to understand ,it's not just say allaho akbar and kill.the bigger jihad is make urself better and the smaller jihad is to defend urself from the one who is attacking u.

Answer 6

Simple.Convert to Islam or die.They don't want you quiet,they want you dead.That was not the angel Gabriel that met Muhammad that day.That was the devil appearing as a ray of light.The devil is very crafty.For those that don't believe in god,let me give you one more warning.How much more do they have to excavate before you start thinking differently.
Islam stole stories from the bible to try to give it credibility.It was actually conceived close to six hundred years after Jesus rose from the dead.It falls in the same category as any other cult.It's blasphemy and a abomination to god.It's satanic in every way.
Satan always makes a person hurt or kill themselves after he's done ruining their lives and doing his evil work.
Have you not ever wondered why they are so willing to die for it?
Anyone with any real common sense knows that committing suicide is wrong.They will kill their own children for it.
One of the punishments in Saudi Arabia for apostasy from Islam is death.Hello!Wake up Islam is a religion of hate.

Answer 7

If you can understand the beginning, in Genesis, when Isaac, Esau's father blessed Jacob instead of Esau, you will begin to understand what is going on now. It had to do with Esau giving up the birthright (he gave it up willingly, didn't appreciate it).

Ge 25:34
Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.

Ge 27:41
Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

Ge 27:42
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.

Isa 10:6
I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

Esau (Edom) (Islam) was jealous of Jacob (Jews).

Answer 8

not all muslims believe in the sword some are peaceful, the controversary is over the Quaran,whic has been corrupted by the government officials to get the people to do what they want, they change things around if they rewrote the book based upon the scrptures from Moses and Muhamad. all god's prefer living believers to dead martyrs.,no god gives you 77 virgins in heaven as he wants you to worship him there and train you for higher Goals no man needs 77 virgins when in spirit form jihad or not and definetly not after a sin spree and jihad. They need to write their book.

Answer 9

I feel it's because they're not willing to let go of anger, perhaps? But LOVE is the only way to put an end to any battle, within or without

Answer 10

muslim brothers only believe in their sword

Answer 11

Jihad is an Islamic term which connotes a wide range of meanings: anything from an inward spiritual struggle to attain perfect faith to a political or military struggle. Individuals involved in the political or military forms of jihad are often labeled with the neologism "jihadist" or "jihadi".

The term "jihad" is often used to describe purely physical and military "religious war", through physical struggle. Some Muslim scholars say that this only makes up part of the broader meaning of the concept of jihad. The denotation is of a struggle, challenge, difficulty or (frequently) opposed effort, made either in accomplishment or as resistance. A person who engages in any form of jihad can be called a mujahid (in plural: mujahidin) (Arabic: striver, struggler). Such a person might engage in fighting as a military struggle for religious reasons, or for example, struggle to memorize the Qur'an.

Nearly all Muslims believe that the non-military jihad is the "greater jihad" and the military jihad is the "lesser jihad.". The Sufis as well as the traditions of Hadith (sayings of the Holy Prophet) are particularly known for supporting this tradition, though some Sufis prefer to use the Arabic word mujahada instead of "greater jihad. It is also worth noting that the Sufistic opinion is not the mainstream opinion, and most Sufi societies ignore the bulk of the responsibilities and practices of majority Islam.

Islamic scholar Gibril Haddad has analyzed the basis for the belief that internal jihad is the greater jihad. ("Jihad al-akbar"). Haddad identifies the primary historical basis for this belief in a pair of similarly worded hadeeth, in which Muhammed is reported to have told warriors returning home that they had returned from the lesser jihad of struggle against unbelievers to a greater jihad of struggle against lust. Although Haddad notes that the authenticity of both hadeeth is questionable, he nevertheless concludes that the underlying principle of superiority internal jihad does have a reliable basis in the Koran and other writings.

As stated, the validity of those hadeeth is disputed, especially by Islamic Fundamentalists- other hadeeth indicate that violent jihad is the greater of the two, and Islamic scholar and alleged founder of Salafi thought, Ibn Taymiyya, famously criticized some of the non-violent hadeeth and went so far as to say that "Jihad against the disbelievers is the most noble of actions, and moreover it is the most important action for the sake of mankind."

But jihad's most ghastly present reality is in Sudan, where until recently the ruling party bore the slogan "Jihad, Victory and Martyrdom." For two decades, under government auspices, jihadists there have physically attacked non-Muslims, looted their belongings and killed their males. Jihadists then enslaved tens of thousands of females and children, forced them to convert to Islam, sent them on forced marches, beat them and set them to hard labor. The women and older girls also suffered ritual gang-rape, genital mutilation and a life of sexual servitude. Sudan's state-sponsored jihad has caused about 2 million deaths and the displacement of another 4 million - making it the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our era.

Despite jihad's record as a leading source of conflict for 14 centuries, causing untold human suffering, academic and Islamic apologists claim it permits only defensive fighting, or even that it is entirely non-violent. Three American professors of Islamic studies colorfully make the latter point, explaining jihad as: An "effort against evil in the self and every manifestation of evil in society" (Ibrahim Abu-Rabi, Hartford Seminary); or "Resisting apartheid or working for women's rights" (Farid Eseck, Auburn Seminary), and
"Being a better student, a better colleague, a better business partner. Above all, to control one's anger" (Bruce Lawrence, Duke University).

It would be wonderful were jihad to evolve into nothing more aggressive than controlling one's anger, but that will not happen simply by wishing away a gruesome reality. To the contrary, the pretense of a benign jihad obstructs serious efforts at self-criticism and reinterpretation.

The path away from terrorism, conquest and enslavement lies in Muslims forthrightly acknowledging jihad's historic role, followed by apologies to jihad's victims, developing an Islamic basis for nonviolent jihad and (the hardest part) actually ceasing to wage violent jihad.
