Refuting misconceptions:2-jihad not terrorism

[mo3taz3nbar]

I'm not talking about race, but about people one considers close to oneself. The togetherness in Islam highlighted by the Ummah is such that there are feelings which refrain you from condemning thoroughly other muslims for bad actions for which you would immediately condemn the perpetrator if he were a non-muslim.

i never thought about that but you are right.maybe the reason is that if anyone condemned the acts of binladen he will have serious trouble(maybe i really dont know the reason for that)but you know we dont have someone to talk in the name of the muslims its always different countries and political issues i think if there was a powerful rightous muslim president maybe it would be different

This is my explanation for the absence of real condemnation on an national level of terrorism. You don't want to judge quickly other muslims, even though they are clearly misguided. That's why there is also no condemnation for the "cultural" (as you said) laws in certain muslim countries which disrespect the Qur'an's teachings.

when someone doesnt ask for his rights you will never ask for them as when there is a culture issues disrespecting Quran teaching in a muslim country like opressing women they dont even talk and most of them are used to that and its something really bad i hope i can do something about it

[quote]If I understood you, only the shahada is needed to be a muslim and join the "family" of the Ummah. It means that unislamic actions can be made by large numbers of muslims without being easily condemnable by the righteous muslims because it goes down to understanding the clear and right interpretations (if they ever exist...) of the Qur'an which are not easy to understand sometimes.

the Quran is really not that hard to interpret if i have an arabic dictionary and understanding of in what situation this verses was revealed anyone can interpret it the important thing is to read the context

And moreover the feelings of togetherness refrain the righteous muslims from condemning those muslims, because the Ummah must look united at all cost !
That's why your "real" Islam is extremely hard to enforce in all muslim countries.

i feel so happy when you use the word ummah.but thats not the case they forgot about Islam and they are different now and not united because of political issues
