I am a Muslim and have been a Muslim all my life
20 years ago, when i was Muslims(and many other people) long before we become "popular" on the news, the religion i had was the same
most people didnt even know what Islam was and what Muslims where
but i still have the same faith back then as i have now
and what's changed? for me nothing, and for the people around me nothing, we are still practising the same faith
when these other people started to make the news we were as shocked as anyone else
but the worst part is that the standards that are applied to us, are not applied to ANYTHING else or ANYONE else
it is entirely ignorant what standards are applied to us
for example people quote 1 verse from the Quran
famously :
And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.
but if they had gone back one verse
Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.
they would have seen a precondition and a post condition
and this is referring to a defensive wars
as i already described the history of the arabs here , they were extremely brutal people , like i said they would bury their own daughters, and persecute many
so when they attacked the Prophet , the Prophet was told directly by God to defend himself
but even in that defence he was to be careful to be just and not transgress the bounds
"And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers."
the same way if somebody were to attack your own homes, how would you react?
would you let them walk over you or would you defend yourself?
this is reasonable and simple , any sane person can explain this
and what about this verse :
"I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks..."
if anyone bothered they would see this has NOTHING to do with war , and people, this is about a past event that was described and God's instruction to the angels, which is to physical or referring to physical action, but rather something else , which again is misquoted
[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip."
and finally if your going to take the Quran by one sentence , and who does that?
who takes a book by one sentence and says "this is the book"
nobody does that with ANY book, and it is extremely prejudice and ignorant to do so and is actually what ISIS do, and how they fool uneducated people and brainwash them
so if your going to be also propagating one sentence out of context and out of reference, then your doing what ISIS do
but furthermore why not quote the OTHER verses of the Quran
"Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. "
here clearly Quran says that killing an innocent person is equivalent to killing the entire world
and again , you guys insist that all Muslims are evil and secretly sinister
this is paranoia and completely wrong
as i said 2 billion Muslims in the world , everyone had said this from Australian governments, to American governments, to British governments and the list goes on
all have said that the "majority of Muslims are good people"
even trump with all his rhetoric had said "i have Muslims friends and i know many Muslim and they are good people"
so its not fair to paint everyone with the same brush
and entirely paranoid
