What do you think of this? Love or murder?

Question

The November 19, 2007, issue of PR Week (www.prweek.com) reports that CAIR (The Council on American-Islamic Relations) has created a media guide for journalists intended to “disabuse journalists of misinformation about the religion.”

What kind of “misinformation”? That the Quran teaches violence and that Islam does not respect women’s rights are two of the notable examples of “misinformation” the guide wants to address.

Why is CAIR putting money and effort into releasing a media guide entitled American Muslims: A Journalist’s Guide to Understanding Islam and Muslims?

Clearly, CAIR is concerned.

You see, up until the past few years very little accurate information was readily available to the public about what the Quran and the Hadith really say and what the life of Muhammed was really like. Colleges and universities that had Middle Eastern studies departments typically taught a sanitized, whitewashed version of Islam that ignored, rationalized or hid the truth about doctrinal and historical Islam.

Today, however, organizations like ACT for America, American Congress for Truth, and many others, are providing the American public with a clear understanding of the violence, bigotry, hatred and subjugation that is at the heart of doctrinal and historic Islam. Americans are beginning to understand that Islam is as much a political ideology of force and conquest as it is a religious belief.

CAIR will succeed in its efforts to repackage Islam only if Americans fail to look past CAIR’s public relations efforts. CAIR will fail if Americans (and American journalists) simply do a little research for themselves.

If it’s “misinformation” to assert that the Quran, the Hadith, and the words of Muhammed advocate violence and the subjugation of “infidels,” how does one explain the following?

“Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war." Qur’an:9:5

"Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission." Qur’an:9:29

"Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah." Qur’an:8:39

"So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)." Qur’an:8:39

"He said, ‘Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.'” Ishaq:324

"Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you." Qur’an:9:123

These are but a handful of the hundreds of passages that exhort Muslims to kill and conquer infidels in the name of Allah. These are not words that have been fabricated by those intent on misrepresenting Islam and Muslims. Among the major religions of the world, Islam stands alone in its call to conquer “unbelievers” with the objective to forcefully convert or subjugate the entire world. Islam stands alone as a religion that commands forced conversion, submission or death in the name of its god.

Answer 1

BISMILLAH HIRRAHMAN NIRRAHEEM,
for our guidence Qur'an is enogh for us and thats all. Jihad fi Sabeellilah [fight for only Allah], Islam is so balance religion, there is no order for killing people without right reason. Is this right that for one person anyone have right to Kill or attack on a whole country? If a person break any role [principle] of any government then goverment have a right for giving punishment to him/ her, but Allah who is Lord of the univers doesn't have this right, how? If Allah says to give punishment to that type of person who breaks Allah's principles, then its murder or unlawful. What is this?

Answer 3

I know a lot of people want to cast Muslims as this blood thirsty group of people hell-bent on killing all non-Muslims, but weren't the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition lead by Christians? Weren't many people killed in the name of Christ?
