Is Osama Bin Laden a Muslim?

Question

I'm a Muslim and I don't think he is...
we should all be condemning him for trying to justify murder in the name of Islam.

Answer 1

No he's not a Muslim...

Let me explain why he isn't. First and foremost he follows Qutb's teachings which stipulate that the world is in a total state of ignorance, the Muslims therefore who do not believe in Bin Laden's specific teachings which derive from Qutb and Al Zawahari are therefore viewed as non-Muslim.

Now his teachings are contrary to Islam. He believes in murder which is against the Qur'an as much as it is against in the bible or Talmud.

If a Christian from Uganda murders for the sake of Christ, I wouldn't call him a true Christian., likewise a Muslim.

Answer 2

As Muslims we are forbidden to pronounce takfir or unbelief on someone. If they say they are Muslim then we have to assume they are...however, as with any religion.. its your actions that really count. Bin Laden is definitely not following the words of God from the Quran in his practice of Islam...he's basically following cultural beliefs that defy logic. Unfortunately, all Muslims are branded as evil because he's the one they show on TV all the time. He's not behaving like a human being much less a Muslim.

Answer 3

Holy scriptures are informing us how God would justify when a heart is to be killed.

If a woman commits adultery in some countries she is punished by stones to the body, but it isnt the body that promotes adultery, its the heart!. So what they should do is to take the adulteress out of her own heart (spiritually beheaded) and smoted (spiritually) for her sin until she is cleansed and then she can return to the heart that promotes none adultery as her new temple (the none adulteress heart is what she would create if she express pure commitment againt the condemnation).

Many seek physical solutions in a spiritual temple and bin laden is one of them.

I have been spiritually beheaded by grim reapers and spiritually persecuted for all the wrong reasons and thats why I know a baptism is not with h20.

So the next time you say "thank you very much" to another heart, think again; you'll smote me all the days you are in it. If its sin you wouldn't want it and if its heart, why are you offended?. The kingdom of heaven is within and I aint no oil pipe. Put me under a scenario you cant personnally handle and make the excuse you'll promote it on my behalf?.

Answer 4

Where have you been for the last 5 and a half years?

Osama bin Laden is a Muslim and organised the September 11 attacks in the name of Islam. A strike against the infidels that have oppressed his brothers around the world.

You may not agree with his actions and it's upto you as a Muslim to let the world know that he does not speak for you.

There are many Muslims in the world who are happy for bin Laden to speak on their behalf, and it is these few unfortunate souls who've turned many people against Islam.

Answer 5

You're the first one with balls to come out and say it.

You know you face criticism from many Islamics for saying it!

I wish more Muslims would say it. Right to his face.

You're NOT A Muslim, bin Laden!

Might do him some good! Especially if it came from an Imam or Cleric!

Answer 6

Im sorry to say but he is a Muslim. Since hes has taken the shahadah and believes in God, Prophets of God Peace Be Upon Them All. However such a sad case, hes a black sheep of the Muslims and Islam. You cant say hes not a muslim just becoz he is a terrorist, thats wrong for us to judge him in religion not as a human being!Those of his followers are juz ignorance and him have forgotten the steps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) coz they juz r very angry at the West attitude towards the Middle_East and had brought POLITICS into ISLAM which is absolutely WRONG to do that!

Answer 7

Of course he is a Muslim, after all he was born in Saudi Arabia and his family still lives there. He is a multi-millionaire or at least he was. He father and brothers run the biggest construction company in Saudi Arabia. I believe he is a sunni but I maybe wrong about that. But surely he is Muslim.

Answer 8

yes. He is a true Muslim following the true teachings of the Koran to the letter.

It is amazing that no matter what the question about Islam, christianity still gets brought into every answer! Stop repeating things you hear other people say to sound cool!
Only 1 person has died in these abortion clinic bombings! (sad though it still is) The person has been convicted and executed !!!

It's amazing, the way people compare these things! Next people will talk about sectarian voilence in Northern Ireland.
Answer - more people died in 2 hours on 9/11 than in 40 years of violence in NI.. stop being sheep... baaaaaaaarrrrrrr barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Answer 9

Osama is just a bit nutty and I don't like him (or bush or blair for that matter). I do not think he is a true Muslim, but that is not for me to judge as I am not the creator. How can Blair be a Christian if he can justify killing women and little Iraqi kids and other innocent people for OIL.

Answer 10

Most Muslims I have met consider him and all "Islamic" terrorists to be heretics. I am not Muslim but any Muslims I met taught peace so I doubt Bin Laden or anyone like him is sincerely religious or teaching Islam.
