Is there a WAR on Islam??

Question

I mean right now!

And please answer as truthfully as possible. It is Friday and I am in no mood for poor taste.

Answer 1

Bush’s participation in the Evangelical coalition may go deeper than is generally known. A religious apocalyptic mythology that goes back decades may be driving the perceptions and intentions of this administration.

Evangelicals waged a propaganda war on television against Islam in the late 1970s, running programs that carefully picked readings from the Bible and Nostradamus. Creating a sense of inevitable apocalypse, the programs detailed a great holy war against Iran and Islam, with America, Israel and Europe as allies.

In this war there is supposed to be a pilot President who actually leads air combat forces himself, and a late entrance of Russia on the side of the Christians allies with an attack on Iran. There is also a remarkable battle when Germany heroically saves Israel from certain destruction, but at great cost to Germany.

Stay tuned!
(The Christian alliance had better get themselves a better pilot.)

Answer 2

I believe that Islam is a focal point of a spiritual crisis within the universe. Meaning that I believe that natural balance is slipping in the universe and that Islam/Muslims have found themselves in the middle. Institutions have become so compartmentalized, impersonal and polarized as society tears itself apart. So perhaps "the force(s) that be" have selected Islam for whatever reasons. We need to get a grip on reality and have a lot more faith outside the material world.

BTW, In case this is misread, I respect Islam and have no problem with it.

Answer 3

I don't think that there is actually a war on Islam, though I'm sure the Islamic fundamentalists would strongly disagree with me. I think they perceive the war in Iraq and other Western intervention in the Middle East, both past and present, as forms of warfare on what they perceive to be true Muslim values, mainly because of the strong political and cultural influence the Western powers have had in the Middle East.

Answer 4

there is war in Palestine, Iraq. Afghanistan so what do you think?
they fight only Muslims
Allah said:interpretation of meaning
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad) till you follow their religion. Say: ‘Verily, the Guidance of Allaah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance. And if you (O Muhammad) were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur’aan), then you would have against Allaah neither any Walee (protector or guardian) nor any helper.”

[al-Baqarah 2:119-120]

Answer 5

Technically, no.
There is a war on terrorism and terrorists.
The fact that all the terrorists seem to be
members of the Islam faith is merely coincidental.
And based upon that fact, it appears that the outspoken terrorists paint a picture of Islam being at war with the free world.

Answer 6

I do not believe so. If there is then I will join with you to defend it even though I am not Islamic.
I do think there is a war against the terrorist factions of Islam but not on the religion itself.

Answer 7

no and yes.

a physical war, then there is a war against the terrorists who are muslims and using islam as an excuse to murder innocent civillians and children.

an ideological war, yes, and this war is waged within islam for its own identity.

part of this war pours over into the physical "extremists" as the religion itself is partly responsible for creating this situation, just as much as christianity is responsible for creating the terrorists that bomb abortion clinics and produce boy band records. the other part is that theocratic arab societies have also created a culture that allows terrorism to breed, so it is not wholly islam, but the arab nations in which they allow it to breed and cause the terrorists to be born.

islam is fighting a war with itself to come to terms with and resolve it and its image in the eyes of the world. so far it is losing because even moderate muslim leaders won't outright denounce extremists and they often speak in double talk, outwardly saying one thing, then turning around and supporting terrorists and terrorist cells, even going so far as funding them.

Answer 8

Yes. It was written by Albert Pike in 1871 that there would be three world wars and the third war was to be Zionism against Islam with both effectively wiping each other out.

Answer 9

Maybe there should be!

But no. The last time I checked, Islam was fighting those who are not in their own country. They come from miles around in order to do it. Also Islam is fighting itself, the Sunni's and the Shiites. So the one's who are over there are just bloodthirsty, murderous, and childish people.

Answer 10

No way, the Islamists have declared war on the Jews and Christians. Have you ever heard the news reports?
