Do you think Bin Laden represents all Muslims?

Question

Well, I'm here to say, Oh hecky naw! That male does not represent me or any other Quran following Muslim who just want to live in peace and raise their families, following Islam of course so that their wives are just as much a part of society as the men are according to the Sunnah. His violence is against Islam. Nobody attacked him, he had no right to kill 3000 people that day nor any other innocent people he's murdered using his brainwashed nutjobs. What do you think of this?

"All this amounts to an odd and extreme violation of the normal methods of Islamic scholarship. Had the authors of such fatwas [non-binding legal opinions] followed the norms of their religion, they would have had to acknowledge that no school of traditional Islam allows the targeting of civilians. An insurrectionist who kills non-combatants is guilty of baghy, "armed transgression", a capital offence in Islamic law.

A jihad can be proclaimed only by a properly constituted state; anything else is pure vigilantism."

Answer 1

No way!! His warped view of Islam disgusts me, and I refuse to have any part of it.

Many Americans hate Islam and Muslims on account of him.

Answer 2

I think Islam is a very good religion if it is practiced right. Just like any other religion. Christianity in the wrong hands has done great evil. So can any religion in the wrong hands.

This next is a article aimed at the person who believes woman must go every where with a veil over there face.

Decency and modesty is enjoined by the Qur'an, the circle of a woman's intimate relations is prescribed by the Qur'an. The true Islamic tradition enjoins the veiling of the hair and neck, and modest conduct - that is all.

The veiling of the face by women was not originally an Islamic custom. It was prevalent in many cities of the East before the coming of Islam, but not in the cities of Arabia. The purdah system, as it now exists in India, was quite undreamt of by the Muslims in the early centuries, who had adopted the face-veil and some other fashions for their women when they entered the cities of Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia and Egypt. It was once a concession to the prevailing custom and was a protection to their women from misunderstanding by peoples accustomed to associate unveiled faces with loose character. Later on it was adopted even in the cities of Arabia as a mark of [tamaddun] a word generally translated as 'civilization', but which in Arabic still retains a stronger flavour of its root meaning 'townsmanship' that is carried by the English word. It has never been a universal custom for Muslim women, the great majority of whom have never used it, since the majority of the Muslim women in the world are peasants who work with their husbands and brothers in the fields. For them the face-veil would be an absurd encumbrance. The head-veil, on the other hand, is universal.

That is to the one that thinks they must veil there face evewhere they go.

There are some references on how they really treat woman. Though I believe one to not accurately be interpreted.

Answer 3

You are not paying real attention to the world stage if you have this view. There are many Muslims who are vocal critics of Osama Bin Laden. Perhaps you have forgotten that peaceful hardworking Muslims were among the dead in the World Trade Center. One man left a pregnant wife behind. She, for one, was a very vocal critic of Bin Laden.

Answer 4

He is in no way a representative for Islam, in fact, he only represents disorder and terrorism. He has been educated in the US, and hopes to take over the middle east by force. You notice he isn't the one with a bomb strapped to his body. If anything, he is a murderous infidel that will be severely dealt with in the after life. I almost have pity for him, for he doesn't know what awaits him....

We all have to stand against him and his ideals. We have to fight back and let the world know that it will not tolerate this hate. Muslims and non-Muslims have to work together and find a way to end terrorism and live in peace and harmony. After all, we may look different on the outside, but in the inside we are exactly the same.

PEACE BE WITH ALL!!!!!

Answer 5

No, but I wish more Muslims would publicly condemn his actions. Your link was interesting. If more publicity was around displaying modern Muslims being outspoken and direct in their attack on Bin Laden, I think people would be more inclined to accept them. You should do this to counter the publicity that was given to the Muslims dancing in the streets in celebration of the 9/11 attacks. I'll never buy into Islam or Christianity; however, I would be more tolerant if I saw the majority showing genuine disgust and repulsion at Bin Laden and other fundamentalists.

Answer 6

i think many here who are just trying to insult islam and muslims want to use him as an excuse and try to make others believe most muslims if not all see him as a hero which is exactly the opposite. he killed muslims too, he caused the death of many civilian muslims as well as non muslim civilians who are precious lives to their loved ones.
isn't his being an anwanted criminal and not considered a saudi any more a sign that even his native country doesn't want him , let alone any human being esp muslims who are opressed every day with the excuse that bin laden is the leader of islam as proclaimed by anti muslims?

Answer 7

No I think he represents all the muslim terrorists because he is an evil man. I wonder why he dyed his beard to make him look younger. The muslim people are not all evil. Only the ones that like Obama. So my point is thats like saying Arnold Scharzeneggar representing all robots.

Answer 8

no i dont think he reprsents all muslims these days..... when he faught in the war when russians were taking over Afghanistan, he was a mujahideen cuz he spent all his money to defend the muslims and showed no terror then and he represented all muslims...... but after 9/11 he ruined his image by saying that it was an act of jihad and now he only represents the extremist muslims and muslims who commit suicide by bombing themselves..... true muslims who do jihad dont commit suicide and kill innocent ppl.... like i said suicide and murder is an extreme sin and and the ones who do it will be burning in hell 4 eternity

Answer 9

I think he represents far more than we are aware of and if he does not represent the majority of Muslims, then where are the Muslim leaders speaking out and saying "lets get him and bring him to justice". I don't see anyone doing that. Sometimes evil can take hold because good people sit back and do nothing. Good Muslims seem to be sitting back and doing nothing to bring this man to justice. He is killing Muslims just as he is killing everyone else. If you do not practice is brand of Islam then you are a target.
I would like to see Muslims bring him out and bring him to justice. To preach against him instead of stirring up the youth in their mosques.

Answer 10

Only in the same way Bush represents all Americans..

that is, both are a bad example
